Although there was something I really liked about my 110 with no spinner and no wheel pants.. To me, a big Yak or Sukhoi is the only plane that can pull that off with style. |

| roc111672 | Wheel pants are a must on my planes. They look so much better than not having them. | ||

You do know its against the law to run an Extra, Edge, MX, etc. without wheel pants don't you? Grass is no excuse. I fly from grass with pants. LOL

so, i saw this just now: turns out, when i messed with the timing, i had advanced it all the way, and this is way timing was when i put her up in the air. just no power. so i have just retarded timing all the way, and wow, she cranks up and has lots of power. lets see what happens on monday when i take her to fly her!!

| orthobird | so installed my engine and went to magtown fly in. my extra 91" is now a kick around airplane. it has over 70 flights, and it is pretty beat up. but it still flies. i just recently sent the da 60 back to be checked, since it lost compression. Da sent it back with repairs done and i was excited. i installed it on the 91" extra and turned her on, which was not easy. choke on, flip 6 times, then she would pop, then i turned choke off, flip 3 to 5 times, then she would turn on for 3 seconds, then i flip again, she turned on for 2 seconds, then i flip again, and she would turn on for one second, then after this, all the flipping would not turn her back on, unless i rechoked her. i opened the LSN, then she turned on easily and i thought i had tuned her. few days later, took her to the magnolia fly in, and again, hard to start, i played with the needles, and then she cranked up. prior to this, some suggested to change the timing. which i did. but then, once she got up in air, just was way underpowered, and she sounded way rich. however, i knew, if i lean her out, she will not start. i am a bit perplexed about her. don't know what to do. | ||

my 91" extra has been out of commission due to the da 60 being cooked during the summer. sent the engine to da 2 weeks ago, and to my surprise, when i got home today, there she was!! DA rocks!! anyways, this is what happened: i blew the crankcase gasket, bearing leak, piston bore wear. they replaced the gasket for cylinder base, piston, upper rod pin, piston pin c clips, front bearing, mid bearing, gasket case, choke plate, and throttle plate. Da is awesome. can't wait to install her and fly her again, this time, i need to install baffles to improve cooling to the engine. |

ok, just flew her 5 times. 1st 3 flights with the vess 24B, on the ground max rpm was 6650. then last two flights were with the falcon 24 x 10. did not tach it, but i agree with yakwards, it seems the Vess 24 b was slightly better. still have to test the Mejzlik 24 x 10 TH and the Falcon 24 x 9 |

| Jatrizzy | Hey Ortho if you are going to run stock mufflers try the falcon 24x9 carbon. Awesome combo for da60 with muffs. | ||
