Dle 30

[Enterprise]

You have a mutant DLE-30 for sure. [MENTION=769]dth7[/MENTION] has my old 20x7 falcon on his DLE-35 on the ES pipe. I know it is well into the 9k range, but that is impressive.

It actually has settled in around 88-8900 but it is plenty punch! fo sure.

In flight?

Am I really only a few hundred rpm behind a 35RA on a pipe!?!?

Guess so. That thing is kickin. Sure you aren't burnin nitrous!

Have you checked the telemetry against a optical tachometer? I have never seen it off, but this makes one do a double take.

These readings are from two separate tm1000 and evolution rpm sensors. Can't imagine both being bad?

Neither can I. Doesn't hurt to check. Trust but verify.

What is the best exhaust for the DLE-30? Stock muffler, canister or pipe. I have my DLE-30 in a 3DHS 74" Edge. Has a bowmen ring, reed block mod and new carb. Previous owner did a lot of work to it. Was considering selling it to get a VVRC 40 twin but now reconsidering since the engine runs so well. Noise level is not an issue where I fly so not sue if that's something to factor in. I haven't tached it yet. Currently running a Mejzlik 20x7. Any idea what rpm's I should be getting with the 20x7? Thanks!

I also have a DLE 30 with bowman ring and reed block mod. I am running the stock side dump, and getting 8700-8800 rpm in flight with a falcon 20x7. Had to move up from a 19x8 as that was going up to 9500-9600.

Got a big assist from my good buddy [MENTION=504]betoperez[/MENTION] today!
He made a special tool and swapped prop hubs on my super DLE 30 in about 5 minutes!


Also, thanks to [MENTION=327]ValleyViewRC[/MENTION] for their super fast and cheap shipping.
Made the order early in the afternoon Friday, and it arrived yesterday, for only $2! Amazing:
