I have a DL100 in an Extra and I was very impressed with this motor. I am putting a DL100 in both my Ultimate and Edge. Hard to beat the price of the motor and it runs well both at idle and flying. The only problems I have heard of so far with the motor is the stock mufflers, but I have not had that issue yet (only flew 8 flights so far).

In case anyone is interest and makes their own servo extensions, http://www.thunderboltrc.com/ has some excellent servo wire and connectors. I have tried others, but found this wire to be the best.

So get your butt over here already so you can get in on some of the flying action

Once I started making my own extensions it became the only way to do extensions for me! Super easy too.

Does anybody running cans know if only two exit holes will move enough air over the cans with the bottom of the cowl cut?

harv · 12-22-2008, 05:49 PM

IF your talking about the under side holes, i cut the rear two covering holes and it seems t be working fine.

lastresort · 12-22-2008, 07:43 PM

Yep, thats what I'm talking about. Thanks.

lastresort · 12-26-2008, 09:46 PM

I got a gallon of fuel thru my edge today. Very nice plane. These things work well.

Now its time to get some graphix done.

My setup is:
DA 100L on ks86 cans.
PT models 27x10
TBM carbon spinner
HITEC 7955 everywhere except rudder
JR 8711 with SWB bellcrank
SPEKTRUM 9100 reciever
3 TBM li-ions 2600
SMARTFLY super reg
SMARTFLY ignition cutoff
SLIMLINE smoke pump with 2100 2 cell lipo
REDAERO RC 40% pilot

harv · 12-26-2008, 09:48 PM

Looks great, have you flown it yet, or just motor running?

Flyfalcons · 12-26-2008, 10:08 PM

Nice looking plane, Mike! That 40% pilot actually looks just about right in this bird. Where is that field?

lastresort · 12-26-2008, 10:48 PM

I've flown it. I only run it for about 2 min or less on the ground. The field is Mid Florida radio control club. It's between tampa and orlando near Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight museum. We've only been there for about 10 months. The plane flys great. I'd say its a very light 40% feeling plane. Very solid.

Thanks Ryan.

Flyfalcons · 12-26-2008, 10:51 PM

Sweet Mike, yeah I used to live in Melbourne when I went to college so I was wondering if you guys were out near there. I think there is very little difference in flight between the 36% and 43%.

CSpaced · 12-26-2008, 11:36 PM

Looks great! I agree with Ryan, that pilot actually looks about the right size

Scotte 540 · 12-27-2008, 10:02 AM

Very nice Mike,,,,,,,,,any pics of the canister setup? The pilot looks great.......keep us posted on your future flights-----video

Looks like alot more agreeable weather than we have right now!!
