Re: DA 100 PROBLEMS WITH IDLE TUNING
Are you running the plane with the wings on? If not, you plane will shake like you are describing. Also, smoke just means you're running it rich... might be too rich.
Check: Prop balance Running with wings on Needles are factory set Send in if you have done all the above, or if you don't want to do the above

Re: DA 100 PROBLEMS WITH IDLE TUNING
If you decide to send it in I will keep an eye out for it and turn it around within a couple days. Just send it to my attention.

Re: DA 100 PROBLEMS WITH IDLE TUNING
i agree with jason sounds like your low end needle is to rich. lean it out a little things should smooth right out. make sure your wings are on to dampen the vibration.

Re: DA 100 IDLE TUNING HELP
No mufflers. Just the engine and the ignition that you have been running on that engine. Make sure to put attn Tony Russo on the box and they will let me know when it arrives.

Re: DA 100 IDLE TUNING HELP
Sorry you couldnt get it worked out. Send it in and we will take care of it right away. Send me a PM when you ship it so I know to keep an eye out for it and make sure to send the ignition with it as well.
