Hi Matt,
Could you please tell us more about your DLE55 powerplant (brand of pipe/propeller, lenght of header)?
Thanks

Roberto

I have the info in the EF 78" Extra thread. Also show all the mods I made to try to make weight. The powerplant as is right now is just about the same weight as an electric powerplant, at just under 2 kg. Except the electric planes are built a bit lighter than wet power planes. Also, the header I am using is a bit heavy (DA50cc return to center). The Hatori header with an extension pipe will lose another couple ounces. Header length is stock DA50cc, 11" from spark plug around the tube curve to the end of the tube.
