Default ZDZ Engines

What happened to ZDZ engines and Parts?
I'm hearing that parts are no longer available for the zdz 40, 60,80
Is this true?

My understanding is that they stopped production on the smaller engines in that line to concentrate on the larger ones. It sucks as the 40, 50 and 60cc were / are favorites of mine.

None of the U.S.A. companies handle parts either?

Try Troybuilt if you have a specific need, or AMR in Canada. You can also setup saved searches for engines or parts on various sites like here or Ebay or RCScalebuilder. But they are pretty much orphan engines now, at least in the smaller sizes.

Too bad, they were/are wonderful engines that I'm still enjoying.

I'm sorry to hear that.
ZDZ is one of the top model engine brands. Maybe a victim of the DLE scourge but, unless things have changed recently, in my opinion of better quality, certainly more durable.

I would agree, I really enjoy flying my planes with these engines, would have liked to continue to acquire more.

I've not gotten on the DLE bandwagon, nothing against them I've just stuck with Zenoahs.
