hi,
with all the different brands on the market, how much difference is there between eg, RCG, RCGF, DLE, DLA or even a DA, there are lots of other engines as well, where are they made, probably China, does that matter these days with modern manufacturing processes.
by all reports the DA engines have very good after sales and service, DLE seem to be very good as well, I dont know about RCG, but I can buy 2 1/2 RCG 50 engines for the price of 1 DA 50.
I have read good and bad reports for most engines,

For most of us the $$$ are a big factor in modelling gear, from engines to radios, to kits and retracts, some people can afford the top price items, a lot of us can not.

but are they any better than some of the cheaper brands.
Are we paying for the name.

Oldtimer.
