Hard to
Start
Could be timing, needles or any of a host of other causes. Check low needle too lean and/or
timing too advanced.
Runs rich
May be caused by low ignition battery; make sure it is fully charged when setting up engine.
And finally
Bad or stale fuel and/or a bad or leaky plug can cause a host of problems that would be
difficult to diagnose.
What is the proper method for mounting the engine using the stock mounts?
Crash impact is not considered normal use and as a result, damage from it should be expected. Any suspected
damage from impact should be inspected and repaired properly before any further use of the engine or mounts. A
bent or stressed mount should never be straightened and re-used; it should be replaced.

Advantages of modern gas engines
The cost of operation is significantly lower with a gas engine. Regular petrol is much less than glow fuel. As well as
that, the glow engine uses much more fuel than a gas engine. The DLA56 engine uses about 1oz per minute of
flying time.
Gas engines are also considered more reliable than glow engines, especially in low power situations such as
landings. The DLA56 has an electronically controlled spark plug ignition system similar to what you have in your
car. A gas engine does not rely on stored heat in a glow plug for ignition.
Gas planes are also much easier to keep clean, especially after they're broken in and running on synthetic oil.
Exhaust Noise Problems
Noise is a growing problem these days at many model flying clubs. The original exhausts supplied with the DL
engines can be too noisy. To get advise on how to best silence your engine – contact Tates Performance Hobbies
on 03 52224201 or visit
www.rcworld.com.au.
We can suggest the best products to achieve quieter operation and more power. We have a range of matching
wrap around mufflers and Canisters with matching headers for the DL50, and Canisters with matching headers for
the DL100.
