I never had a problem with mine on the 3W106 (straight mufflers) using the Sullivan Red skywriter.

I had looked at the possibility of putting a 5" on it, but waited to get the plane first and see. Measured it up and 5" would be way too big and not look right. I am going to put a No Limitz 4.5" Ultimate spinner on it.

what kind of power source did you guys use ? I had a 6 volt battery - I wonder if speed control worked better with a higher voltage power source ?

sweetpea · 11-18-2008, 08:05 PM

I used a 7.4 LION with no reg.

It takes some fine tuning with it mixed to the throttle to get the mixture just right. I found that the pump hardly ran at idle and never got over half at full throttle for thick white smoke. Anymore than that and I had excess oil on the plane.

6 volt battery

harv · 11-18-2008, 11:29 PM

I can tell when im pumping too much oil; when i turn off the smoke, that there is still a stream from unburned oil trapped in the muffler. I can still probably go down another 5%

Quick question. What is the drop for a solid header on a DA100 for this airframe.

The drop is 85mm. I think this drawing was posted a few pages ago, but here you go any way.

Have anyone tried this motor. Its about 1lb. lighter.

Don,

The ZDZ 100 is a fine little motor. I have that same motor in my Ultimate which weighs 3 lbs more than the Edge. It pulls my Ulti around just fine. Not as much power as the DA but on this plane it will be unnoticeable. The throttle response is the best of any gasser I have. Some complain saying there a little hard to start but the ZDZ's just require a different starting procedure. Once you figure that out, starting is fairly easy. You will likely be around 24lbs with this combo which is about the same as this plane equipped with the DA-85. The ZDZ does have a shorter shaft, so stock mufflers may rub the cowl. On cans there would be no worries.
