    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    A good rule of thumb for trying to determine what size / capacity AC to choose..... 12000 btuh for every 400 sqft of area that is non insulated other than the building material used. 12000 btuh for every 600 sqft of area that has insulation of at least R3. This is a "General rule". There are...

    Yes you can check it between the common and signal pins of the servo channel port of the receiver. Make sure you have a fresh battery of 6 volts or better. Voltage will drop/change slightly (10%or less) by the number of servos you have plugged in. Voltage may increase or decrease on individual...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    If the garage has no insulated walls (most don't) then One refrigeration ton (12,000btu) per 400 sq ft. Biggest window type AC that will offer up 2 tons of cooling (24000btu) is 230volt. If you just want some relief in a hot garage just get a 10 or 12,000 btu unit at 115volts.

    Basic engine tuning.

    FYI...........The metering plunger acts like a volume regulator not a pressure regulator. With that said...... Increase pop off decrease volume. Decrease pop off increase volume. As in volume of fuel.

    Basic engine tuning.

    I simply would not worry about it. If you can tune your engine for good performance and have no fuel dripping then all is good. I checked my EME 60 when this pop off debate started. It was 10 psi. One of the best running engines I have.......Well......It was running lol.........

    Headers, who makes them?

    DOH! I see Mile High showing them as well! At good pricing too! What I have not been able to find is a wrap around header for the DLE 20. The one shown on SDS or Mile high is like a straight header and would need the engine mounted with the cylinder at the 8 O clock position to get the pipe or...

    Headers, who makes them?

    sdshobby.com sdshobby.net (US Warehouse) chinatoyandhobby.com Most are listed to fit DLE engines or the appropriate cc range (ie 26-30cc etc) if it fits a DLE engine it is most likely to fit other China motors like EME, DLA, RCGF etc..... Bolt spacing is not mentioned with the China...

    Headers, who makes them?

    You can also find just headers on the China hobby shop web sites. Most are aluminum or stainless and available in rigid or flex versions. Fraction of the cost of top shelf units. As far as the durability......This aluminum wrap around has been solid for the past 5 years..........
