    Dle170 issue

    I do not operate the 170 but I would consider leaning the low end just a tad more and check and see if a 1mm thick washer put under the spring for the metering needle helps. The reason I say try this is that your crank case is probably "pooling" fuel at the rear bearing location and once you...

    Epoxy...favorite mixing cups?

    They CLONE Cheeseburgers. You can even find antique ones if you leave it in your coat pocket long enough! I think they fit Chinas business model very well.

    Engine Gurus Unite -> I need HELP!

    Typically faulty reeds will make hard starts (if at all) inability to tune, poor transition, and failure to reach peak RPM. If your engine has decent compression then the ring is probably not suspect other than it may very well be stuck due to excessive carbon build up (black gunk you are...

    EME70 Twin

    Not disagreeing with anyone here. But look at the handling characteristic and ease of operation. This was taken in to account. My EME 60 will allow all the hover pull out authority and 3D I can shove at it. I propped it for the plane. I am in no way a competition level 3D pilot but I am not a...

    Permatex

    Heat is provided by the exhaust. Special tool is provided by the countless number of allen wrenches accumulated over the years. Red will ash after the engine heat cycles. So removing the bolts is a non issue. Unless you forgot the gasket ;-)

    EME70 Twin

    Mike at Mile High has some vid of the proto. I am expecting the 70 to have a very long service life with the ceramic coated cylinder but believe heat retention (not necessarily an issue) and dissipation will be different than nickasil. I am wondering if any oil frying off will deposit and coat...

    Chinas Hobby Exports.

    Good input. And I am not looking for justification to buy something I do not need or to have the "best". What I am finding is that the hobby industry support as a whole by American standards has slowly gone the way side. I would like to see China at least start production of products on US soil...

    Engine Gurus Unite -> I need HELP!

    Pull the carb and reeds. Inspect the reeds for proper seating and that they are not broken or chipped. Replace the carb or rebuild it with a kit. Before doing this look at your plug or just put a new plug gapped .020" and make sure your ignition battery is good, Plug cap and insulator is good...

    Chinas Hobby Exports.

    Recently caught some flak about another ABC engine and in honesty I was negative with my rhetorical comedic way. All BS aside.... How do you hardcore hobbyist's feel about the abundance of goods that China masses out to the public? I know it has a huge plus by making otherwise "unreachable"...

    Wow, that guy is one piece of work.....

    If my ex could only laugh hers off, maybe.....Nah. I forgot the VD thing. Best solution is stay divorced. And of course what's yours is theirs forever. Just like an ex.

    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    I am VERY fortunate to have a private strip to practice and trial my airframes. When I first saw the video it blew me away on how exacting the attitude was. I thought it was my club but my club has snow bird rules. As a qualifying FOG my mind set stays with the younger crowd and the exciting...
