RE: Glitch
Check/replace Y harnesses. You didn't say what type engine ... electric, glow/nitro, gas. Gas is pretty noisy and lots of vibrations. Do not use metal to metal contacts when connecting throttle, etc to a gas engine. My 2 cents.

RE: 2 flyers, 1 AMA membership?
I am not an attorney, but this sounds a bit complicated because yes, your AMA membership is also insurance, but in reality the insurance is secondary to your home insurance. If you are flying and under 18, your dad is responsible for your and his actions so probably AMA on him is questionable. I have home insurance and also purchase additional "umbrella coverage" each year as well to make sure I am covered wherever I fly. My two cents.

RE: Constant chord wing query
Constant chord wings have better stall and post-stall characteristics but poorer roll rates and have poor snap characteristics. Think of military warbirds in combat. They all have tapered wings. I would think it is more difficult to design a tapered wing with good stall and post-stall characteristics, but well designed tapered wing will have better roll and snap characteristics. My two cents.

RE: Is it my ignition or engine?
Why bother to run the 4.8v batteries in series like you apparently are and have to use a regulator to choke them back down to a max of 6.0 volts? Either use two 4.8v batteries in parallel and use a SmartFly BatShare or just use a single 4.8v battery..

RE: DLE-30 Carb Wont Draw Fuel
Please let us know how the maiden went. I have a DLE-20 in my GP Giant Super Sportster but have yet to maiden her. I know it might be a bit under powered by many peoples standard, but the Saito 150 I use to run the plane on was way more than it needed, so I wanted to try the DLE-20 rather than a DLE-30 (which I have waiting "in the wings").

RE: Ring Engine Compression
I would rather suggest that after maybe 15 minutes on the ground for initial breakin then fly the plane moderately to get the airflow over the engine cylinder for cooling. Only short bursts at wot increasing until the engine has probably another 5 or 6 flights of 10-12 min each. This has become my practice for the last several years.
