DLE30!
 

Here are the first released pictures of the new 30cc engine from DLE that will be out mid July. Kind of cute, kind of different, hope it lives up to the spec sheet! Still no word on price yet though.

Side carb? You gotta be kidding !!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

A lightweight with quite impressive specs. and if it runs anything like the other DL's it will be making headlines. It would have been nice to see it having a bit narrower footprint but I guess all those guys with big cowl models will be smiling. Looks like the next few months are going to be interesting times with two new 30cc engines about to make their debut, and we can only benefit from it.

I would have posted the video but I didn't want people to think I endosed hand landings. Nuts!!![sm=omg_smile.gif]

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Definatly not something I'd try. I guess their safety standards are a little different.
On another note I was surprized at first on the carb set up as well. But when you think about the target this engine is designed for it needs to be very short to fit into allot of the 120 size planes. At least going with a side carb/rear induction it isn't as wide as it would have been it they had put the reeds on the side of the crank like some engines.

Jody... Please keep us posted! I love my little CRRC Pro .26 but could use a little more punch. I'm interested in price, performance and availability. (Aren't we all?.?.) There are soon to be other choices. ;) http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_88..._9/key_/tm.htm

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

another 30cc offering for us 120 sized fliers, I am loving this! I too am excited to hear what pricing and tach numbers on an 18x6 prop

Can someone translate the weight on the scale into ounces?

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

2.4 lbs with everything.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

I bet it is alot cheaper than $429.00 (most of you should know what engine I am referring to) and you will probably be able to get it through DLUSA.com so you know the after sale customer service will be there. If it is like the rest of the DL engines then we know the performance will be there.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

The designer of that $429 U.S. engine said it was never meant to compete with Chinese engines, because it can't. He's not going to market on price.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

i can believe that as us USA types like to make money in business and us workers like to be paid top dollar so it a knife to the fight:D

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

The DLE-30 will probably not be sold on price either. Actually DL's are not that cheap compared to other Chinese engines ($410 for the 55). They don't seem to bey selling on price because they have a pretty good engine and have a decent distributor network and support.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Too bad it's side carb and side exhaust. It won't work for many warbirds. I wonder why they changed to a side carb?

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

JoeAirPort; NIB DL55 can easily be bought for under $260 a piece. ;)

For the DL30, I wasnt expecting side carb with this one..
If it outruns MLD28 then it will take its place quite fast, and be a best seller.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Would have been a nice feature to have a single centre prop bolt / nut arrangement.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

the side carb wont matter on my CAP 232 that has a huge cowl to hide under but it will most def not work on my warbirds that have slender cowls i.e. Stuka

either way I look forward to this coming out

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Plus $40 shipping? Still that's pretty cheap. I guess I was talking about buying it from local US distributors like ValleyViewRC. I don't like ordering mine direct from China.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Any news on how much $$$ ?

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

$239 retail

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

are they available yet? Wondering if any local vendors have them yet?

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

OK folks, as usual the rumors and speculations have been very inaccurate, the retail price for the DLE30 is $319, they are listed on our website now and pre-orders are being taken. Expected arrival is still around the end of the month.

www.valleyviewrc.com tell them Jody sent you!</p>

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

At 260 from Valley View I'll take ten of them!!

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

lol I think he meant where to get the other engine, not the 55 for 260 bucks. Otherwise they will have everyone tearing down the door to get one.:D

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Super is right, sorry, didn't mean to make anyone think I had lost my mind. It's been really amazing with economy the way it is, our sales have steadily increased and been very stable. We have to place an order with the factory every time and as soonas the last order arives so we don't run out. The DLfactory is also making engines as fast they can to keep up with the demand.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

knock on wood jody ;)

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Guess they must have it on special as it's advertised on their web page for $410.00 with free shipping.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Any more news ?
still on time ?

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

What tuned pipe and header setup?

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

I've just been told from my supplier. Slight delay. End of the month.

Cheers

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

Apparently they aren't kidding. Which brings the next question; What were they thinking????

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

It is still a rear induction engine, but placing the carb on the side makes is significantly shorter overall and eliminates cutting the firewall. It could make a big difference on a small plane.

Actually looking closer at the design, they may be able to build a different backplate/intake system with the carb in line with the crank...

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

I was thinking about that. If Dong Lin wanted to it wouldn't take much to make a rear carb version or come out with a bolt on coversion kit. Wouldn't take much more than a rear crankcase. You would have to buy it as a complete crankcase though as I imagine they would come in a matched set like the 50 and 55. I think it would be a big seller and would add sales. Maybe Jody could mention it to Dong sometime when he talks to him.

Already been done, no reply.

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

You are just too quick....I guess I have to start getting up even earlier. ;)

RE: NEW DLE30!
 

It was one of the first things that came to mind when I first saw pictures it, that and the 4 bolt prop hub on a 30cc engine. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
