Just read all this thread......nearly 50 pages. I've got a camel NIB I want to get going..........Has anyone used the DLE 20 on this? I know about the Zenoah 20 Minnflyer used in his review. I spose the DLE is less weight than the Zenoah by quite a bit.
I'd like to use a gas motor and the DLE would probably be my choice. Anyone else that has gone with the DLE, let me know how you came out with the CG.........how much extra lead?
I like your choice of engine brand. Ihave a 55cc on my IMACbird and it's a great engine. However, Ithink the 20cc would be too large in size for the airframe. I love gas engines but, there are some airframes that are just too small for them. You might take a look at the RCGF 15cc engine as it's smaller in size. Compare dimensions and see what you think. Length is also a concern so be sure to check clearance between the firewall and cowl.
I don't know of anyone who has mounted a gas engine on this airframe.
Good luck,
RJ
