Default DA100 Oil Mixture?

I bought a plane with a DA100 (great engine). But I did not get the manual. I can't find any info on the net on recommendations for the gas to oil ratio. Any help would be greatly appreciated?

I am using Amsoil 100:1. The word directly from Desert Aircraft is: when using Amsoil 100:1 the mix is 100:1. and they say, don't feel that it needs to be richened up!

If using the 2000 series of Amsoil, the mix 50:1.

The guys at Desert Aircraft are some of the most helpful people I have found in the hobby. Simply awesome customer service! I am a customer for life!

If you are wondering which engine to get, Desert Aircraft is the answer. They are coming out with a DA-50 for you "single" guys. My CAP 232 has unlimited vertical with a DA100.

I hope someone finds this useful.

Good post > I live only a couple of miles from Desert Aircraft, and I'll be having one of the first DA-50's to come off the line.

Dave Johnson, and Jason Shulman are tops in knowledge and courtesy.
