RE: Went cheap. bought a DLE 20 and got burnt!!! UPDATE!
I have three DLE 20s.Two have been great, the other has had problems. First the throttle butterfly screw came loose, wouldn't idle down, couldn't land until it quit. Vibration damaged carb, so new carb was installed. Then started sagging on first flight with new carb, landed ok, but then wouldn't run. Acted like it was starving for fuel. Found there were two internal screens in the carb. One on top of the other. Removed one and put back together. Ran fine for about two flights, then while running up before another flight, it quit with prop free wheeling. Crank is broken.
Its on the way back to Tower. I'll see what they do. Not really bad mouthing the engine. Two have been great. Its light weight and powerful and I am sure internal parts are under a lot of stress. Bound to be a failure every now and then.
