    VTOL Aircraft World Record! DA-60 Ran Over 22 Hours Straight!

    Kevin doing some talking here.. L-3 is the reason latitude pulled there's.. We are doing our own press release. FYI it was 36lbs of gasoline on board and after 22 hours there was 5lbs left... So a DA 60 with custom efi running lean of peak and at minimum power flew 22 hours on 5 gallons of gas

    Why does 50gph per engine seem like a lot??

    Let's see your full-scale airplane!

    It's such a cool airplane! I did not realize until yesterday there is a hatch in the center of the fuse just behind the wing that lifts out and you can hoist a spare engine into the fuse and close it up! It's amazing that a 2,000 lbs engine just aft of the CG has no real effect on it! I can't...

    Let's see your full-scale airplane!

    Well this is not mine by any means even though I wish it was... But yesterday I spent the day at the airport. One of our buddies has a new project and I spent a couple hours climbing all over it and we even got to do an engine run. Amazing that when you sump the fuel it is 5 gallons per tank...

    DLA180

    Yes the crank is just like the new DA and 3w crank a 1 piece machined crank... They had the same issue as the other 2 with twisting cranks now they are 1 piece so that problem is solved and let me tell you it is a MONSTER!!

    DLA180

    hey everyone I might get shunned for this not being a DA or DLE but I have been using the snot out of the NEW DLA engines and loving them... I have even been testing the 232 quad. However I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the 180cc twin?? I am okay being the test subject for some...

    The Spammers are getting out of hand.

    @Bartman this might be more specific to you but I am curious... Every single time I visit the page it logs me out which is fine... But when I enter either my name or email and then my password it keeps saying it's wrong. I have to reset my password every time I get on here. At least I can just...

    Servo Jitter during movement

    @wfield0455 it didn't even click when I read it said he used a different radio and it did it then he said he used a different radio and it was fine... Now I am confused

    Servo Jitter during movement

    My thought is that the other radio was not 2048 resolution... Maybe the 11x resolution is too fine for that particular servo

    Servo Jitter during movement

    As bunky said... I am also flying an 11x use mostly JR and now Pro-modeler servos and none of them have a hint of jitter unless it's my fingers. I think like he said it may be your servo. Either a dead band issue or gear lash issue.

    Hello from Elizabeth City NC

    @Larry B I am really glad you made it out and wow that airplane is beautiful! I could not make this event due to helping family. Even though I could say I was there in spirit since my house was being used for two pilots as a hotel. Anyway I really hope to see you at another contest and I am...
