Done with DLE
#53
Didn't realize this is a political forum. Politics aside, DLE makes fine engines that can compete with some of the best. I am running 2 DLE 55s, and a DLE 111. Never had any problems with any of them. Maybe I got lucky and got some good ones. I've also known people with "premium" engines that had much trouble with them. Can't judge an engine brand because of a few bad examples, a better benchmark might be how many are sold.

I'm guessing that since the OP hasn't shown up in the thread since the original post, despite numerous offers to help and tons of good advice, that this is just another thread where someone wanted to blow off steam with no intention of fixing the problem. Either that or it's another thread among hundreds on this board that are purely designed to cause bickering and pissing contests. Maybe I'm wrong and he'll show up again, but I just don't get it.

Either way, I call BS as well.

Haha.... that's exactly what I'm doing. Even though I am an ok flyer, I really suck with engine tuning.
When my maintenance guy is around, I flew glows and gas. I was quite happy with DLE even though the front part flew away during the flight. Overtightened ?.... I doubt it.

Yah, most likely loose. I have seen one, maybe two glow plugs blow out. I n heavy competition engine use, control line combat, on national level. Those plugs that blew out were loose. Grabbing only a few threads. Fully engaging all of the threads, I doubt a glow or spark plug would blow out.

If you choose to buy cheap Chinese knock offs then you must accept the penalties that are associated with them. Today you can buy a knock off of ANYTHING "made in China". That's because they have to adhere to absolutely zero laws! Some of this stuff is OK and does work, but that doesn't mean that as a consumer I should buy it. My friends are constantly telling me that they paid half as much for their engines and have the same performance. I don't buy it, pardon the pun! I have a 3W engine that is 22 years old and pulls like a war horse! It has never been opened for anything, lets see where your DLE, DL, EME, POS, is in just a few years.

Troll alert! time to close this down. I love my DLE's and if they break beyond repair I would buy another, and send the old one back to China to melt down to make into another one. LOL

This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own.

Hahahaha! So you've never bought anything that came from a country whose political policies you disagree with? That's practically impossible. Based on the current regime in power and your political views, you shouldn't be buying American either.

Back in post #34, I pointed out that many products are now single sourced from China. If you choose to own some of the everyday products we all use, it will come from China and you won't have a choice to buy otherwise.
