If any one Jon needs to calm down its you. What's the point of complaining. We are all in the same boat and you expressing your right to complain is not helpful. If you want to complain keep it to yourself. 1000s of loved ones have died, you complaining cos you cannot go and fly is of no consequence.

What these idiots don't understand Cymaz is people like your daughter and my son, not to mention the many other 1000s of frontline care workers who are prepared to put there lives on the line to care for those unfortunate souls who have contracted this virus to make a recovery. Those selfish individuals who are not taking this virus seriously and compounding the problem need putting in jail, have there driving license revoked for a period of time, heavenly fined. So we cant go flying this year. Build something, repair a model modify a model.Clear/tidy your workshop out. There is more to this hobby than flying. You wanna intereact with fellow flyers, Face time, Conference call. Flying is a small component of what we do.

Postponed, cancelled, not going to happen this year, its off, not this year. Or as Monty Python put it. It is no more. What is it you don't understand? or are you just joking with your thoughts. I doubt very much if any of us will see any flying this year in a social enviroment. Because there are a lot of idiots out there who are not taking this c19 virus seriously and are helping the spread. My son is on the front line and seen many deaths. I am also involved. Just to remind you: Wings and Wheels is Cancelled due to a wretched virus that killing people pandemically.

Hi Bert and Cymaz, I have total confidence in all my engines, I try not to push them past their design limits. But I think we have all had a dead engine in mid flight...bloody frightening. Fortuantly it dos'ent happen very often. As for RA being advantageous spot on Bert. Side exhaust can be a problem when you want to enclose the whole engine etc. The other advantage is most RA engines have that schurnle port opposite the exhaust port that aids the evacuation of exhaust gases. Very useful if you run a tuned pipe. I used to race powerboats (RC) all my engines were Rear exhaust and ran tuned pipes. Good fish and chips at hastings.....

Hi Cymaz, The 35ra is a tadge overpowered, so half throttle is great for most things. When I bought the engine I had read somewhere that there is a bigger gap than usual in the piston ring. I ran the engine on the bench for a bit very rich to see what the performance was like. It wasnt bad...I then stripped the engine down and became very aware that the gap in the ring was excessive and this could result in loss of compression and peak power. Contacted a chap in the states called Brown who makes rings for the DLE 35Ra, he said this was a common thing with the 35ra, it was a relatively new engine on the market. He made me a couple of rings to replace the existing one. After fitting I fired the beast up and noticed an immediate difference in the engine. There was more revs and a higher compression than before. First flights with the Stampe and the 35Ra proved it to be a very powerful and responsive engine, and very reliable.
