Bill, I have a few questions/comments. While I am not the owner of this engine and have no real business getting involved other then being a consumer whom at some point may consider buying an OS gas burner in the near future. I do have 2 50cc airplanes under construction now and the OS 55 was a consideration.
I have had excellent results with the DLE55 and BME58 extreme. The DLE has seen a lot more action than the BME....simple one to two flip starts every time.
If you want to wow your neighbors, put a 20x12 3 blader on it, fit a ESComposites pipe to it and mount it on a soft mount. Electric like quiet set up with lots of beans
