He sent it back, and I spent a few hours trying to get it going, even with a high torque electric starter. Nothing, not even a pop. I quit, I give up. It sill looks cool and I'm sure it will make fine door stopper, even a more impressive paperweight. My next gasser will be another DL-50, plus it's really hard finding a plane for the 26 and the 50s fly better anyway. One thing I'm certain of, I will never buy a glow engine again. Gas is the only game in town.
even if it was lack of oil a ring and new cylinder is less than 40 bucks a piston is 8 and a ring 3. a quick hone and a ring should actualy bring it back into specs. are you intrested in selling it? never hurts to have a spare. i flew another 5 flights tonight and that bad boy riped it up again. cant wait until saturday to put the new 50 in my wagstaff thru the paces.
