- Welcome to my build series of the Balsa USA Stingray RC plane kit. The Stingray 120 is a great trainer and sport rc plane with an 83-inch wingspan and powered by a DLE-20 RC gas rc plane engine. I will be using a Futaba transmitter system with with Futaba or Hitec servos and receiver. This plane is designed for .80 to .90 2-stroke glow engines, .90 to 1.20 4-stroke glow engines, and 15cc to 30cc gas engines. I will be using basic techniques of building rc plane balsa kits (or at least the techniques I have learned to build rc planes).
All of these videos will be placed on a playlist.
In this video I show how to install the DLE-20 RA gas rc engine on the engine mount by marking the screw locations on the mount. I also drill access holes in the firewall for the carburetor linkages and the choke. I also show what screws and nuts I will be using to mount the DLE-20. Once everything is drilled properly, I remove the engine since I'm still building the plane. It will be permanently mounted later.
I have been building, flying, crashing, modifying, and repairing radio control planes (RC Planes) for many years and enjoy sharing what I do with the radio control plane community, so I started RC Plane Tech channel for fun. I am not an expert, there are many different techniques when building radio control planes. A good way to learn about flying and building rc planes is to see what others are doing, that's what I do and that's why I like to share what I do.
Thanks for watching my channel. Hopefully you will find my videos a little interesting and perhaps fun to watch.

One thing I learned for my next one, with my DLE-20RA install; was to temporarily install the muffler on the engine. I lucked out by rounding the square edges on the engine mounts to give me about 1/8 clearance. Had I done my cowl/prop-washer measurements with the muffler on, I would have moved it forward that 1/8. It’s my first. I just started in this hobby about 8 months ago. Sharing the info in case it helps future builders.
You rounded the edge on the Du-Bro, Ill have to take a look. I do want to use this mount on something, its nice. And yes, thanks, comments and tips are helpful for us all. I learn a lot from others !
Just now discovered your channel, what a great content. Thanks for your effort and time making these videos.
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Thank you James as modelers in Tasmania we have learned a lot from your videos thank you
Nice! Thank you so much!!!
This looks like an easy model until the engine installation. Interesting how you made the holes for engine throddle etc. I find all rc models gives us
Challenges that we are not expecting. Have a good day, Paul
