RE: who has used the DLE 111 and the DA 100
I have a Da-100 and a DLE-111. The Da I bought used. It runs great. It's on a 35% aeroworks extra 260. With a little running start the engine will take the plane verticle out of sight. Out of a hover, you gotta wait on it a bit. The DA is bit hard to prime on first run of the day. I rebuilt the carburetor, but found a problem with the pushrod ( It had a flexible nyrod pushrod). I am in the process of moving the throttlew servo to the firewall with a short solid pushrod. i hope my problems are solved here. The plane comes in at 30# with fuel. The DLE is on a Carden Edge 540 35%. It has a little over 2 gallons thru it. I'm turning a mezlic 27x10 and the engine is a beast. What I've noticed about the DLE is that eats ignition batteries. I've been running a 4.8 nmhd 1800mh battery. On a full charge, the engine will nearly yank the firewall out. After 4 flights the engine acts like it goes lean. check the battery and it's low. The DLE needs at least a 6 volt system with high capacity, 2500mh. the Carden weighs 30#s dry, without fuel. They are both great engines. I cannot speak of longevity as my DLE is new. My DA is many years old. P.S. I had 2 da 50s break rings running Amsoil Dominator at 50:1

Cylinder Head Temps.
I have a DLE 111 on a carden Edge. When I bought my motor, troybuilt gave me a temperature gauge with it. Immediately after landing, (looking from the front), the right cylinder will read about 195, the left will read slightly above 200. If you give it about a minute, the right drops to the low 180s and the left to the low 190s. What is a reasonable temperature on cylinder heads?

trimming help with incidence
I have a Carden 35% edge I just finished. Problem: Under full or near full throttle, the airplane pulls to the belly and wants to dive downward. When you pull of the throttle, it flies true and straight.. My first conclusion is that the engine has down incidence. So I put a washer under the bottom mount, and flew it and it helped. I added another washer, now the engine clearly has upthrust. With the second washer, the problem is actually a little worse. I'm beginning to believe the engine neds to be lowered on the firewall. Any suggestions from any experienced builders? I did get an incedence meter and wings and elevators are perfect.

DLE 111 tuning question.
I have a DLE 111 on a carden and it has about 1 1/2 gallons of gas thru it. Today, i noticed that it is starting to really turn some RPM's. I noticed that when I start it up, when it's cold, it won't take throttle until it warms up about 30 seconds or more. I have a DA 100 that does the same thing. The DA is a well run in engine. My question, is this normal for these engines or am I a tick lean? If lean, is that top or bottom? On the DLE, is you let it idle a minute or two, it does develope a mid range "burble" that is usual for a slightly rich idle. Thanks for any tips.

RE: P47 Top Flight Giant build
I might suggest beefing up the top skin of the wing from the inside as well as the leading edge stringer between the landing gear and the fuse. A hard landing and the edge of the fuse acts as a breakline and the wing breaks thru the wheel well forward and snaps the leading edge. I had to go back and put a hardwood strip between the inside of the leading edge and the front of the wing ribs. Then heavily glassed everything. I also suggest glassing the sides of the hardood ribs holding the landing gear mounts and trying to glass the mounts into the ribs or at least reinforcing the mounts from behind. It does not take much to pull out the landing gear if installed as per instructions. Mine came in at 23#s with a fuji BT-50 and glassed. It needed almost a pound in the nose to balance. With that engine flight performance is very scale. I've seen some fly with the Zenoah G-62 and that seems to be the best power to weight ratio. I am in the process of refitting mine and I'm going to the Zenoah. The plane flys very light, so don't be afraid to build it strong.

RE: Warbird Landings
Typically is you are landing a warbird with flaps, you will need to push a little down elevator to make the plane land. If you keep the flaps down, elevator trim up, and back off the throttle, you will get a nasty stall and probably spin. If I was landing in a 15 mph headwind, I would use no flaps at all, and use the elevator to control the decent while maintaining a little power into the wind. You will ALWAYS need to maintain some power when landing into a stiff headwind, chopping throttle at touchdown.
