    I uploaded the wrong video. Grr! Oh well, I may just post it instead. I was testing the smoke after getting the motor started the first time. Second start was about 8 flips. Not bad I guess. Third and fourth start was one flip each. I will wait to run it again until the maiden flight. (With...

    Yikes, not good. At least it's in a tree still swaying in the breeze. Better than spitting dirt and rocks right. Sorry about your short lived maiden.

    Just a quick update: I've the replacement 128 bolted on and test run. Seems to be ok so far. Hopefully I can do a maiden on this new plane this weekend. Hoping I can get a maiden video to post. Been too long for this plane to just be chillin'! It needs to get airborne.

    Ummm.....well uh, umm... hmmm, how can I put this? Oh I know, barrels a blazin'. The updated 128 runs like a scalded dog. I did not change the rings from the factory. I left the motor pretty much "UNTOUCHED" other than to bolt it on. I figured it is either going to run, or it isn't. I am really...

    Yup, pretty much my normal procedure. New engine in, wired, plumbed. Will introduce some gasoline to it tomorrow. Cowl it, and fly the crap outta it Saturday.

    Ok, so here we go with round two. Replacement 128 is now bolted in place. A couple of connections to go and we'll give her a try tomorrow afternoon. It worked the last time, so I'm kepping my fingers, toes and tounge crossed.

    Dang, I hate it when that happens. Hopefully nothing is seriously amiss with your motor. The DLA factory has indeed been nothing short of amazing. I have to give full credit to Lee Shantz of Golden Skies though. He Skyped with Emily from DLA and the next thing I knew a brand new shiny updated...

    Not sure run ups on the ground would be wise. That's where it failed.:lol2: Hmmm...maybe just bolt it on and fly the piss outta it. :spongebob: I promise to let you store it Mark if it gets to that point. You just want to play with my motor huh?:laughing: I think that bolting the updated motor...

    No obligations. Was just something I wanted to do cuz it was different. Retrofitting the firewall for my other new 111 with Bowman's will be a breeze. It stands ready... and the PAU performs well with it's 111 up front. I've just gotten so discouraged over the last month. First it was the ign...

    I'm offering the opportunity for everyone to toss an opinion my way. I've had some set backs on the DLA 128 and have become very undecided on my next move. Though Lee from Golden Skies has been beyond supportive in every respect of the issues with this motor... and the DLA factory "REALLY"...

    A twin would be cool, but a 55 or 60 sized single is more than adequate.

    Sorry everyone. Apparently my post from yesterday error'ed out. I was not able to maiden as hoped. There were some unforseen and unfortunate developments that arose. I will keep everyone posted as everything unfolds. At present, it could be another week or so.
