I have two DLs and two DAs. The specs on the DLs are looser than the DAs. Both of the ring lands on the DLs are too big allowing the ring to slam up and down in the land. Prefer the stronger billet cut crankcase of the DA. The DA pulls just as well as the DL. They are both loud since none of the gas engines has a real muffler, i.e. a 2/3 1/3 division in the muffler. The "muffler" are simply a diverter with no muffling being done.

For long term the DA and its service win, hands down. For shorter term, cheaper planes, and price the DLE wins.

any 50cc gas engine should do but if you plan on doing anything other than sport flying the dle-55 will give you the power to do acrobatics and then some

WoW, that's expensive. DL-50 cost previously 219USD here

Mike (34%)
Hobbycity does not sell parts for the DL50. If you want them you must go to DLUSA. They are good folks from what I have read.

jtown (45%)
My DL50 didn't come with a manual. Was it suppose to? I found one here "***********dlusa****/Manual.html". I hope the instructions are the same.

Bill Wiebe (41%)

Pavel (45%)
Prompt, please, when you plan to restock this Engine?

leigh (52%)
Hi HC,

I've asked before but you don't have any yet, are you going to stock props to suit this motor? 23x8 (preferred) or 22x10 would be nice.
Also the point everyone is making about the spares for this motor is a valid one please can you let us all know if there is any intention at all of stocking spares for this motor it's extremely popular and it would make sense for you to do so. but if your not then let us know so we can find a supplier.

much appreciated

Hi, Is there any spare parts for my
DL50cc.

zzzzzed (73%)
Will you be getting nthe DL-100cc Twin???

skubacb (70%)
Where is the mounting template? No template is available and I do not have a DA-50 template available either.
   skubacb (70%)
Why not just put a PDF of the motor template on your website or in the manual. If it is that easy to do then why not do it once for everyone. Make sure to put the dimensions on it so when it is printed they can be sure it printed in the correct size. BTW I don't find it that quick or easy to do and would appreciate it being done once rather than making each customer do it over and over again.

Roy (42%)
How long will it take to ship a pagage to the US.

michi386 (36%)
is it version 1, or v2???

greats
   name 1 1 (32%)
They always out of stock, and since they buy it from the factory I can only guess they are the latest version.
The US or EU distributors might have the older versions still.

Chorney02 (36%)

waynemia (74%)

Do you send the engine with the spark plug as seen on the picture (broken) ?

   waynemia (74%)
Yea, the one in the picture is broken. The one I got wasn't. *-)
   HEIN (87%)

waynemia (74%)
Do you have to drill the props to fit this engine?? Is there a drill guide? what are the recommended props?
   waynemia (74%)
I mean the recommended brands not the sizes.
   jtown (45%)

gkathens (84%)
What is the procudure for braking or running?
   eezfly (59%)
Run the eng. at idle for a tank or 2, tank 12oz then let cool afthr each tank. After 3 tanks I start to idle-up in short points NOT full power only 1/4 to 1/2. then 4th tank I fly. Useing only low power doint forget to have FUN.

gkathens (84%)
Is there spare parts FOR THIS MACHINE ?
   eezfly (59%)
You can buy parts at tower hobbies look under DLE55 good luck. But this the best price for the eng.
