Jim... I think you've out-spent me and Jack combined in the past few years!!!!  And what do you mean "we haven't had much luck in the east"??... all of my 3Ws have ran great and I've owned four so far!!! So have all my DA's. So have all my.... Jim... need I remind you about all the DA170s and DA85s that have had issues in "the east"  I'd say DA is right on track with any other manufacturer!! Great customer service though!!!!Fact of the matter is that all the manufacturers make great motors! I love DA as much as 3W, Mintor, Zenoah, BME, ZDZ, etc, etc and will likely seal the deal on either a Mintor55 or DA60 today!!!!! As for the Mintor220, I'm up to almost 100 liters of fuel through it and have never put as much gas through a motor as this one.. it's been the ultimate in reliability so far and with insane power  . It's unfortunate that something isn't right inside, but in discussions with Blaine, I know he'll make it all good - he's a top-notch guy and was sponsored by DA and Carden for 14years and knows full-well the importance of customer service... very impressive guy!!T |

 AS for sticcking with DA.. we haven't had to much luck out here in this end of the country with 3W. EVERYONE I know that has or has had 3W had problems. I am not saying DA is perfect, there is no such animal when human beeings are involved, it just seems DA appears to be more reliable. And contrary to public belief I do not posses unlimited funds or have as great a job as you and Trev so I can't affoard to experiment too much. Still kicking myse;f in tharse over the 112 Quad though.  Who know maybe one day I'll trya 3W to see for myself. Never is an awfully long time!

Re: Mintor 220 Sorry guys!!! I've been delinquent in keeping this updated!!!! I'll start another thread about engine data soon!!! We've got stuff all over the place and it's a good idea to consolidate it all in one place!!!! As for the Mintor, it lost power on my last flight! I took the spark plugs out and noticed the crank was stiff to turn and there was a squeaking noise, like the crank was rubbing against rubber???? Compression seems fine, so Blaine Austin of Top Dawg thinks it may be a bearing! It's on it's way back, shipping PAID!!!!. If they can't find the problem, their policy is complete replacement, no questions asked!. So far, the service level is second to none!! I had about 25 gallons of fuel through it!!! Why does Jim's motor never need servicing??? You need to run them first T |

Re: Mintor 220 Quote:
As far as the DA-200. It was sent in because all the carb/reed cage gaskets were leaking. While it was there it received a crankshaft upgrade...An upgrade from DA??? Believe it or not...yup!!!  If I were to buy another QUAD in the 200cc or larger it would likely be another DA 200 or hopefully a DA 240. Even thought the 3W 220 kills em all!!Trevor is testing his 3W 220 and his ZDZ 180....I'm going to ask him if he'll post his test data on here so it's all in one place for future reference. Maybe we should start another thread for gas engine data and just copy and paste the pertinent stuff from here. |
