HI
JUST spoke with my good friend that flys the big planes in competition-( IMMAC ) asked him what he could tell me about the DLE line of engines he has seen perform at the MANY fields he flys attold me the engines are bushed at the end of the rod-and they are breaking crankshafts -i know how some report the engines are very powerful FOR THERE SIZE they are not cheep-
i would like to know just how many of you out there have that same experience with different size DLE engines (or that type design )
this business that a guy buys an engine and runs it for a few hours ( POSTS IT ON YOUTUBE LIKE HE FOUND THE NEXT BEST THING TO SLICE BREAD ) and cannot stop talking about how good the engine performs is just a buch of CRAPwe have a lot of dollars in the smallest RC models-ITs LONG TERM DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY THAT ONLY MATTERwhat are these guys thinking ??running of these engines for long periods of time is the ONLY THING that will prove there credibility for any plane i plan to use the engine in-much to much hipe going on hear with new engine lines ( a new one every day )-got to have the new whatever first to be happywhat ever happened to visiting the flying field and using the stuff you see flying at the flying fields day in and day out without any issues EX : i have watched the ZENOAH line of engines basicly perform fawlessly for the 20 years i have been flying-they are heavybut they are super reliable and durable- these are TIME TESTED engines in the hobby-now thats what i am talking about and one should be looking for to put in there pride and joy
ok now i feel better ENJOY BEST REGARDS TONY LENTINI
