I have the same question...would like to put it in a TF P-47

I know they use genuine RCXel ignitions, I bought two spares for my 14mm plug engines.

I bought two, I have one in a 71" GeeBee Sportster, very smooth running engine. I replaced a G-23 with it, about the same power. I say it's worth the money.

Do you think it's good power/fit for the TF P-47 60 ARF?

I would say it has the power of a 1.50 four stroke so you'll have plenty of power.

Head looks like the SV 26 sold by Value Hobby for same price?????

I have a SV26 also, the cylinder looks to be a standard idem. I have a SV 50cc twin and it uses the same cylinders. On the Sv engines the intake port has a blocking plate over it, the use reed valves in the crankcase. I think my SV26 is slightly more powerful, but not much, and you don't have to worry about reed valves breaking or not sealing.

How does this compare to the DLE20?

It's not equal to it in power. With Chinese engines DLE is probably the best, not close to DA, 3W or OS, but my 26cc have all been OK as long as they have RC Excell ignitions, if they use their own I'd stay away from it.

ameyam

Would you really add OS there? the gt22 is almost as heavy as the dle30 , so any power advantaged it has is negated

I added the OS in the quality comment because of it having OS quality which is very good. The only OS gasser I've seen at the field is the GT 33 which is well made, but seems to run backwards a lot on the first start of the day, I'm not impressed, maybe they need a EC Excell ignition.[X(]

ameyam

Read up on the GT33 before I bought it. They have a very conservative minimum firing rpm, so if you hand start it will run backward. Even my 110FS runs backward with a hand start. Best to use the motor starter first time and then, once warmed up, hand start

You are right reg the quality part though

DLE 20CC is the best bet for that plane isn't it?

No, I'd say a 120 four stroke, a 90 would power it but you'd have to put lead in the nose, but that wasn't his question.
