Sbach build progress #3 with DLE-20RA

[@fernandopena209]

Thanks Lou I just received mine and it is a joy to see that it has carbon reinforcements, and it also comes with the appropriate manual. I hope to see how you finished putting it together and the flights soon. Thank you very much and good luck with your new projects.

Yo Lou it’s Eamon, I was wondering if you think it’s safe to try to run a COX 0.49 baybee engine on ethanol lol

[@LouRC]

I only experiment if it’s safe! lol

Hello Lou. I have followed your videos and the Towehobbies review. with the Sbach 442. When do you finish it and fly? Is there any particular comment and if you reinforced any special area. ? greetings and luck

Hello, I did finish it, and I've been flying it. I also took some videos of the entire plane completed and some flying videos when I first started flying it, and landings. I hope to have the final video with all the details uploaded by this weekend. Which will also include some flying. I did not reinforce any areas. I did add a metal bracket to the bottom, right behind the motor, to use it to attach screw-on weights to it so that I can get the CG forward which was way back. I think a 35cc engine would have worked good in there as well. I'm just swapping the propeller right now to see if I can get a slight improvement on the performance that I'm looking for. However, I am having a really good fun time flying it as is. I'm just looking for a little stronger pull out vertical from a hover. Maybe next year I can possibly upgrade the DLE20 if anything. I like the size because it fits comfortably in my jeep. ... Hope to see more of these flying.

Will a DLE 30 fit without sticking out?

[@LouRC]

I will say yes it will fit because I have plenty of room. I’ve been flying this. I have to post my final video on it with some flight videos. I’m actually considering going up to a DLE 30 for it myself. I have to fly a few more times to decide but so far it’s flying good.
