DA-70

[49dimes]

Looking at my engine box I noticed the engine number to be 0135. Do the engines below 200 need to be updated with new reeds???

Thanks DA Team! New reeds on their way no questions asked no funds required. :way_to_go: @DATech

DA is notorious for not publishing estimated HP ratings. I get why, but sometimes it is a handy first approximation worth knowing. So, anyone seen an HP estimate for the 70 twin??

My educated guess w/stock type in cowls would be 71/2 but I have never seen DA use fractional HP in the estimates they do give on other engines.

That seems about in line with other similar-sized twins.

DA does decimal units though so my bid is 7.5 Drew.

What is the serial number cutoff for the reeds?

0200 or 0250 I think it is the higher of the two.

Thanks. Looks like I'm north of those.

Ok for those who may still be wanting to know which engines are affected:

DA states it is engines 0001 through 0242.

Just installed this engine in an EF 88" edge. WOW!! awesome!!

I got in 8 or 9 flights today and each flight the engine begin to deliver more and more power. Geesh keep this up and I think I will buy another one!! . Factory needle settings were a little rich so I found. Leaning out the low needle a bit seemed to help a great deal.

Looking forward to the next time I get to go out!!

Falcon 25x8W is a great combo too.
