    DLE 170 dead cylinder and piston

    So the conclusion is.....Lose cylinder bolts allowed the cylinder to "tilt" causing the piston ring to snag on the exhaust bridge and then pretty much eat itself???

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Just got word from Kevin at Jtec and he is doing a final cleaning of the muffler. He tapped the can ends to 8-32 for mounting bolts for me. My plan is once all connected to the header I will make some support straps that will get secured to the can ends and motor box sides. Being that the bottom...

    Secret Footage of 3-D Printed Engine Baffle Process

    I thought I saw a cheeseburger printer at MickeyDees but it did not seem real.

    DLE 170 dead cylinder and piston

    The owner of the DLE 60 to the best of my knowledge has not pulled the engine but I suspect if he did he would see some damage on one or both pistons. I know for a fact he had let another fly the engine extremely hard (high energy 3D) when it was brand new and he had no means of baffling. He had...

    DLE 170 dead cylinder and piston

    Mark I am curious as to what exactly is the cause my self. Others asked questions that where on my mind as well but this is really sounding like a problem that is not just associated with the 170. I have a friend who has the same tuning issues with a DLE 60 twin. Ran great for the first 5 or 6...

    3D Viper 120cc ARF is HERE!!!!!

    Yes @Terryscustom thank you.......The 104 is an awesome air frame but one that will quickly show the flaws of the less skilled pilot. And I'm am not touting my own personal skills (I suck lol). I know of a few guys who have a 104 in the box and it will most likely stay there because they are...

    3D Viper 120cc ARF is HERE!!!!!

    We had to shorten the wing tube on Marks before he flew it Sunday. It flew awesome! Very light. DA120 / Viper outperformed my DA120/104 in stability/wing rock. My 104 is 28.5 lbs and IMO does not like the weight and increased wing loading. As far as DA 120 knowing the difference in...

    Saito 61cc Four Stroke Gas Engine, NEW!

    To be honest I think the 250 four stroke is intended for their UAV engine offerings. If it does become available to the RC public it will be another one that I will only dream about:cryin:.

    DLE 170 dead cylinder and piston

    How was the engine loaded (estimated throttle setting and prop used) when the engine encountered the problem? Personally I don't see any evidence of any kind of heat related failure. Did you look at the reeds and see if they are not broken/chipped? Really looks like something got passed through...

    DLE 170 dead cylinder and piston

    There is an area on the exhaust bridge on the left side about the middle that suspects debris passed through and reeked havoc. You look at wrist pin retainers to see if they are intact and not broken? Or maybe you had a stroke (pun intended) of bad luck and sucked up a hard foreign object.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I arrived at my "secret" strip at 8:30 am and it was 34 degrees. But sunshine every where and no wind to speak of. By the time everyone got there (9:30-10:00) my coat was off and I was in a t-shirt too! I think we hit a high of 55 but it felt like 65. Could not have asked for a better day of...

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    As far as I can tell you have no "additional" set of threads on the DA35 to attach the hall sensor ( clamp it on ). The new DA ignition is like the 3W's microprocessor units. I don't know for sure on the DA ignition but 1 of the 3 magnets should have the S pole facing up and the other 2 N pole...

    93" AJ Laser header problem

    Had similar problem because of the plane. A solution is being worked on for many planes that support header canister combinations but fall short ;).
