ORIGINAL: nmking09 Larry, That's pretty harsh... You won't even sell parts to someone who didn't buy from you? So much for public relations. I don't think I'll be buying from someone with that type of attitude. I wish you the best with your engines. Remember, being a "nice guy" on rcu has its benefits. I was thinking a 50cc twin would be neat, but I'll stick with DL. At least Bob at DLUSA.net has repeatedly helped me out, even though I didn't buy from him. He has earned my loyalty through his kindness. This forum was started to review this engine. I have never claimed that it was anything other than what it was. Honestly, if I had it do over, I would have waited for the DA-85. Really it's a catch 22... I see both sides really. having the 50 twin would be neat - however you run into the exact same position as this thread has shown. Why put a heavier engine on just to have a twin when the performance is far lacking a single? The 50 twin is doing a wopping 6400 on a Xoar 22x8... most quality 50s are doing that same prop at 6800-7300. 400+ rs on a 22" prop is a big deal. If you look at the ZDZ 80, 3W 85 or the DA 85 its pretty hard to look elsewhere for the price and performance unless you move up to a DA 100. my 2 cents.
