Great Planes Revolver 70 & DLE 20cc Building Thread # 2

[gerardjo1]

Hi there, can you tell me what diameter rod you used for the pushrods (those that needed the 4-40 die thread)? Thanks

[Snookpro]

Hi. Yes I used the same GP Engine mounts just cut the 2 pieces that join together just before the holes. In part 1 of the video it is shown exactly where I cut it. Send me your e - mail and I will send you some pictures of the smoke tank configuration.

Nice Job on the build and the video edits. Did you use the stock GP Revolver Engine mount and If so how did you cut them, also can you share some info on the location of the choke servo. I got this bird and the DLE 20 for christmas and I am ready to start the build. Keep on Flyin. Ollie. St.Thomas V.I.

Hi the first thing tbat you must know about gas engines is:

the better the brake in, the better performance

1st: mount the engine in a bench for break in

2nd enrich the high speed needle, the back one about 1/8 of turn counter clockwise

3rd use a litter woodden prop like a 14x6 the first runnings

4th run the engine for about 2500 rpm for 15 minutes accelerating for 1 minute to a full throttle, letting it go to idle

5th remember to use, for the first 3 gallons mineral oil, in a ratio of 32:1

P.S.S. when you are all done and all your servos have been adjusted, Put a drop of hot glue over all servo screws, !!!!! on my 18th or 20th flight, A servo screw vibrated

out and i had to land the plane without my left Aileron. It was not fun, But she lives to fly again !!!!! Don't miss this step !!!!!!!

[knockoffs]

Nice Job !!!!, Can't Wait for the maiden flight video, Did you beef up under the landing

gear !!!!
