backward into the aircraft’s fuel tank. Re-flush clean gas, forward through the in-line filter prior
to re-installing the filter in the aircraft.
Many good filters are available commercially, consult your local hobby shop.
FUEL POINT™
The Golden Skies R/C Aircraft, Fuel Point™ is specifically designed to make it easy to add gas to
the aircraft’s fuel tank. The Fuel Point™ consists for two components, 1) The barrel which
mounts to the aircraft cowl or fuselage, and 2) the “Plug” that seals the gas filling line and slips
into and out of the barrel. The plug is double O-ring sealed for security and has a removable flag
on the surface that may be used to indicate whether the aircraft has or has not been re-fueled. The
operation is to feed the Tygon® fuel line from the tank, through the barrel and attach it to the
plug’s barbed nipple. The plug is then inserted into the barrel for a smooth and sleek appearance
on the fuselage surface. When fueling, pull the plug from the barrel, detach the fuel line from the
nipple, and insert the fuel source nipple into the fuel source line. Fuel is then added to the tank,
until the fuel flows out of the vent line, indicating the tank to be full. Always “catch” the overflow
as to not pollute the environment.
PROPELLER SELECTION:
The recommended propellers are as listed below:
DLA 32cc 18 x 8/10, 19 x 8, 20 x 8 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
DLA 58cc 22 x 10, 23 x 8/10, 24 x 8 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
DLA 64cc 22 x 10, 23 x 8/10, 24 x 8 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
DLA 64-I2 22 x 10, 23 x 8/10, 24 x 8 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
DLA 116cc 26 x 10/12, 27 x 10, 28 x 10 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
DLA 116-I2 27 x 10/12, 28 x 10, 29 x 10 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
DLA 128cc 27 x 10/12, 28 x 8/10, 29 x 10 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
DLA 180cc 32 x 10/12/14, 33 x 10 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
DLA 232cc 34 x 10, 35 x 10 / 12, 36 x 10 (Diameter (in) x Pitch / Pitch range)
Some the acceptable propeller manufacturers are:
Use of propeller sizes other than those specified above may either “load” or “un-load” the engine
and cause damage. Un-loading the engine has the greater potential to increase the engine’s rpm
higher than recommended or safe for the engine. The prop type and styles may have the same
“loading” and “un-loading” effect, so always check the engine’s rpm with a tachometer. ALWAYS
CHECK AND RE-TIGHTEN THE PROP-BOLTS AFTER EVERY TWO OR THREE FLIGHTS.
