Comparing a Magnum to a DLE is like comparing a Tower 46 to a OS 46AX. Everything I have read has indicated that even the gas 2-strokes are more equivalent to fule 4-strokes and fuel 2-stokes. Lower RPM. higher torque, able to turn larger props, etc. However, I am only going from what I have read and like Will rogers said, only believe have of what you see.
