This all looks like the well to do keeping the little man down.

Frist you could buy DLE's on ebay from yes guy's in the usa for a 100 dollars cheaper than tower or anyone else.

What was the mark-up, those guy's weren't selling them for free.

Are they trying to make these motors for the upper middle class to wealthy only.

Thats whats happening , lets keep the poor down.

I know I was stricken with a stroke like disease (GBS) that has left my wife and I one step above proverty. Yet I still enjoy my hobby.

There are alot of us out there and if we are to ever experience the joy of a gas engine, we are forced to buy the very cheapest of the cheap or do without.

I've been planning an putting money away for a long time and now the days of the cheap DLE's are over.
