    ZDZ-180 and ZDZ USA

    Another great weekend of flying, thank you mother nature for cooperating 2 out of 3 days this weekend. Put 5 more flights on the Extra and still can't believe the power the ZDZ-180 is making! Can't wait to put one in my Edge to replace the DLE-170. The DLE runs great but, after flying the Extra...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I managed to put 5 flights on teh 330LX and 1 on the Edge this weekend. Just put ProFlow cans on the Edge and what a difference in sound! It is quiet but, still had plenty of power until one of the 32 oz tanks had the fill and vent tubes break off inside the tank :( I noticed it wasn't running...

    6th Mid Mississippi RC Club IMAC Contest

    Hey Bobby, How is the contest going? Haven't seen any scores here or on Facebook. Robert said the Intermediate class was a tight race between Cam and Phillip.

    ZDZ-180 and ZDZ USA

    Hello Everyone, I am here to present some real information on my experiences with Joe and Nicole at ZDZ USA and the ZDZ-180 engine. I was in the need for an engine for one of my 40% planes and had tried a couple of alternatives with varied success. I had always wondered about the ZDZ line but...

    Sport The 182 gets "Gassed"

    Nice looking plane Rob!

    Hello from Elizabeth City NC

    Welcome to GSN Larry! Nice looking planes. Wish I were closer so I could see them in person. IMAC is an addiction, I am telling you from experience, especially if you like competition. I started out last year in Basic and am flying Intermediate this year. Haven't fared to well this year due to...

    Welcome to GSN @Grey! You will find this site is full of knowledge and a great attitude all around.

    Would you use this prop?

    Cam, Were these temps on the front or rear of the cylinders? They seem very cool if they were from the rear of the cylinders. The ZDZ, which I am VERY HAPPY with to this point, is running very consistently in the 280 to 300 range on the back side of the cylinders. Just waiting for the weather...

    Curious. Ethanol or not

    Wow! The VP-SEF is expensive!! I thought paying $7.60 for 98 octane ethanol-free was bad. With the amount of gas I burn it would cost me $110 per weekend just for gas/oil. The ZDZ-180 loves the 98 but, will run on 91. If I am just practicing or it is cooler out, I will run 91. If I am heading...

    Curious. Ethanol or not

    The only time I use gas with ethanol in it is when I can't find ethanol free, which isn't very often. I am running Redline from the first start also.

    6th Mid Mississippi RC Club IMAC Contest

    Nice try :) I was hoping to be able to sneak down at the last minute but, that isn't going to happen :( I will see everyone at Broken arrow in June. Good luck to all flying this weekend!

    6th Mid Mississippi RC Club IMAC Contest

    Wish I could be there guys but, the wife isn't up to traveling that far yet and I don't have anyone at home any more to keep her company and help with the dogs. Hope your weather is better than what is forecast for our area. Rich, if you would snap a couple pictures of the Sportsman and...

    Trophy showcase

    @djmoose, nice job! Congrats! Now for my next question, you would by any chance be able to send me a copy of the unknowns for last weekend, would you? I am trying to get the unknowns from every weekend that we don't have a contest so I can practice something other than the normal sequence.

    Would you use this prop?

    Hey Cam, Went out for 3 more practice rounds tonight. Vibration is no worse than a da170 that I can see. Iflew almost the whole sequence at half throttle or less :-) The only times I went over that was the humpty upline and the vertical 45 with the negative snap followed by half roll. Fuel...

    Would you use this prop?

    Cam, I just ran the ZDZ180 on RE3's with a 29x12EVO 3 Blade Mejzlik and was blown away! It was unbelievably quiet and had great pull. Might be something to think about if you are looking for a bit less noise. The 200 should have more than enough grunt to swing it. The ZDZ turns it a 6000 on the...
