RE: DLE-222
Interesting. I agree with the point that going to 2-cylinder 200cc is probably a better option for many reasons (easier to cool, lighter, etc,). This is if you are a descernign pilot with cash.
I think, however, this was a VERY cheap way for DL to produce a 200cc engine without a need to design a brand new piston / cylinder combination. They didn't even need to do major modifications to the crankcases! Brilliant business move, especially given the times. You will shell out ~$2,700 for 2W-212 or close to $2,000 for ZDZ-210. If $999 price tag is right, this could be a huge winner...
f I were running the DL business, this is exactly the way I would go as welland then consider a 2-cyl 200cc engine...

RE: DLE-222
We will put one of our race props on it and 4 straight stacks..If it looks promising it will be in a Tsunami racer next year...The prop is ABOUT 21x28 carbon fiber..7500 would put it in the ballpark...If that doesn't work we'll try a 26 pitch, 8000+ would work...An Aerrow 200 twin is good for over 200, the 222 is stronger on our Extra and YAK ...
If nothing else the sound alone will scare the competition...
