    New DA 120 Carb plate

    Just wondering how many guys have this new carb plate for the DA120 . The guys at DA tell me that the two holes on the bottom are to help regulate the diaphragm much better instead of drilling and screwing a nipple to the middle of the plate and venting it to atmosphere.

    Hello from..... Calgary , Alberta

    This side the paint lines just about lined up , I guess these are the problems with the first batch of airframes . This is the rear mount for the pipe , used some 3/16 plywood for reinforcement and used 6/32 bolts with locking washers to support the bracket.
