    DA120 running rich?

    Just make sure your tune is correct and you're using a good oil ratio with a good oil. I run Redline 32:1 (I have one engine that needs 32:1, otherwise it'd be at 40:1) through mine and I never really get a strong oil buildup even after a couple dozen flights.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    2 different motor manufacturers, both coming out of China. DLE seems to have their own proprietary components, can't speak much about the other brand although it wouldn't surprise me if DLA was sourcing parts from a couple different manufacturers to piece their engines together.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    The brass bushing for the center pin begins to wallow out the pocket it is molded into inside of the servo case. This causes some slop in the geartrain since the center gears can move just ever so slightly instead of being fixed in place.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Bought some replacement servo cases to rebuild the 7, 9380's in my 105 Laser. 400+ hard flights on the servos and they're finally ready for some reworking. But the wind was howling 20-25mph and it was drizzling constantly and temps were in the 40's- for this SoCal boy that works outside, that...

    Flew my Laser a bunch! Even got in some sloping on Saturday afternoon with the Easy Glider 4 :cool:

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    It may be NIB, but it's close to 20 years old and probably won't program much these days with us discontinuing all of the old 5xxx series servos. The latest iteration is the HFP-30.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    4 HOT NEW foamies built, test flown, crated up, and now shipped off to Toledo Ohio for the Weak Signals tradeshow. All in the span of 3 days :oblong: I am seeing noises and hearing colors from all of the glue fumes :confused:

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    We can agree to disagree, but the fact remains: we have servo tech that other manufacturers are trying to acquire. I also happen to know for fact that some popular high end servos of other brands are grossly overstated in their capabilities. Spencer left Hitec out of a contract dispute, not...

    You're hilarious, this was 5 miles away just today :oblong: And tonight the snow elevation drops to 1000ft- I'm at 1700 :eek: I don't mind it when it's for my own personal gain, but when it's for someone else...

    Anyone else hate working in the cold? :oblong: Lifting my Jeep so I can get out to more slope sites (ok that's not the reason, but's RC related so...). Only did the front, now gotta do the rear..

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    It's an awesome flying airplane. I personally can't get enough of it, even though it was blowing ~15mph constant this weekend :oblong: As you can see it's got plenty of power and maneuverability. I won't lie, it will wing rock some in high alpha, but I have a feeling my CG is a bit far...

    He specifically designed the kit for the DA100, the DA120 won't fit without some heavy mods. If you're willing to change a lot of things to get the DA120 to fit, then there wouldn't be an issue with it.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Yes, I have flown a few DA100's actually, and there is no discernible difference between them and the DA120 as far as'roughness' goes, not to me. My engines do not overheat, even in a full 8 minute hover- if that's the way you would like to have a conversation then we're done here. By the...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Don't know what DA120's you've ran, but the 2 I've owned, and all the ones on my buddies airplanes, are just as sooth as any other 120cc class engine. Airframe has a LOT to do with how smoothly the engine 'feels'. Even things like exhaust setup, or how the engine is mounted, or even the...

    Put in just a little stick time over the weekend. New airplane maiden and then took the always awesome Gernot Extra 330Sc to the snowy mountains for a little windy shenanigans.

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    The issuer is the DHS which means it would be a very steep uphill battle for us. We are trying to find out if anything can be done.
