    How many of you are running the new DA150L?

    Very true and I completely agree - it's not like I NEVER did anything like that myself!!!!!!

    2014 IMAC World Championships, Muncie, Indiana: Thursday

    You both are great pilots!! I can't even come close but I have kept my eye on you both and you have come a long way in the past two years!!

    How many of you are running the new DA150L?

    Ah, the truth comes out!! Yes, I think you need to adjust the needles as per the DA manual. If you keep running it rich you are going to carbon it up pretty badly.

    How many of you are running the new DA150L?

    Check to make sure the throttle butterfly is opening all the way. I would think that 150L should turn that 30 x 12 Mejzlik around 6000 at a minimum. If the throttle butterfly is okay check that there is no restriction in the fuel line anywhere. Also, check your ignition batter...

    PICS: 2014 IMAC World Championship: Friday

    All of the judges know and judge by the criteria! They see everything! Yours is a common complaint but believe me they know the rules and judge to the criteria!! I have been there and done that (as a judge at the NATS that is)!

    IMAC new to me dalton 260/300, just want to fly it!!!

    They are two 5200mah Li-ion Fromecos for the flight pack and one 2600 mah Li-ion Fromeco for the ignition. The ignition battery is on top of the motor box and the other two are on the inside of the motor box strapped to both sides (one on each side) as far forward as I could get them. I had...

    IMAC new to me dalton 260/300, just want to fly it!!!

    I had to move my engine forward about 1" plus a pound of weight bolted to the FW to get my 300 MEL to balance at the back of the CG range.

    Yes he can! In fact David did beat Kurt by just a few points at Clover Creek last year!! He and Kurt did some of the best IMAC Unlimited flying that I've ever seen!!

    IMAC new to me dalton 260/300, just want to fly it!!!

    I have a DA 170 and MTW 110 canisters. I think that I will try the 31 x 12EVOL first!

    IMAC new to me dalton 260/300, just want to fly it!!!

    Thanks Bunky, soon I will have my Carden Pro ready to fly. I have both a 30 x 13L and a 31 x 12EVOL - I will find out which one will work for me!

    IMAC new to me dalton 260/300, just want to fly it!!!

    Does the 30 x 13 slow down for landing? Also, how about downlines - will the plane slow down?

    Good prop drill bit

    DA prop bolts are all 5mm except the 170 which are 6mm. DA has a drill kit with a 5.2mm drill and a short piece of 5.2mm rod in it. Use the DA drill jig and a drill press to drill the holes. After the first hole is drilled put the 5.2mm rod in it as far as you can get it. Drill the other...

    IMAC new to me dalton 260/300, just want to fly it!!!

    I don't think canisters are affected by short headers like piped are. I have the same problem with MTW 110s and the DA 170 with 14" headers! Jeff at DA said just cut the headers to fit - no problem!!

    2015 Sequences

    I didn't say I was any good!! LOL! At my age I think I'm doing pretty well. Also, I can only practice once a week and if my floaters are bad I can't fly at all! About the only thing that I really do well is read Aresti - it's like a second language to me and I am pretty good at it...

    2015 Sequences

    Yes, it was difficult at first but more altitude and a slower entry speed then sacrifice a few points by drawing a >2 fuse lengths line before the push really helped me! There was a half roll to inverted then push a half outside loop in the Sportsman sequence in 2007 that I had real trouble...

    Does the new DA 150L have the same rectangular exhaust ports as the original DA 150?
