Hi Frank,                I think you may be getting mixed up with brake fliud. I'm pretty sure DOT 4 is brake fliud and that is hygroscopic . Auto trans fluid is normally quiet thin, and usually red in colour. I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong.     Paul  

HiShaun,                  Here is a couple of links that might help, iIstarted to convert a homelite 6 months ago and got side tracked  there are others, i'll post later when I find them.   wacker engines   ch ignitions                          Paul  

Hi John,               I don't know for sure ,but it looks like a rebadged ASP or Magnum. Specs are the same in which case if it is, should be ok.  This is about the best picture I could find  http://www.petenplanes.com.au/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=28    Hope that helps                                      Paul

Hopefully weather permitting we will be doing some sound tests tomorrow on Area 51's . using Biella 22x8           Mejzlik 23x8            Vess 22 A            Vess 23A           graupner sonic 22x8 22x10      One with slimeline muffler, and one custom built by Weston UK  i'll post results if we get the weather on our side.   Paul.

Hi Martin,                Any exhaust that fits a DA will fit the DL . To get them quieter, you will probably have to use a pipe or can which costs. I use slimeline muffler on my Area 51, did improve a bit but it needs more work. I've just got hold of a pipe and can from China ,hopefully it will do the trick . what prop are you using..??What size and make..??    Paul

Fuji electronic ignitions are famous for causing interference, because they are not shielded as well as they should be. Sometimes you get a good one sometimes you don't...!! There is a multitude of things to try to cure the problem, but you need to do it one step at a time. The spark plug needs to be a resistor type ( which you have already checked) make sure the spark plug cap is a good tight fit and move the ignition unit well away from your receiver.  Try these things first then take it from there. Let us know how you get on.   Paul.

Hi Fathead                  Are you getting the interference with the engine running ..?? or is it befire you fire up.   Paul

Sounds like hydraullic lock to me make sure you havn't got excessive fuel in the engine 21/2 turns out seems a bit on the rich side. Is the engine inverted.? if so, try starting it with the engine is in the upright position.
