Default EME Starter for the DLE111

I ordered one of the EME starters for my DLE111 a few weeks ago. Finally got it from SDS Hobbies and got it mounted this week.

I started and ran the DLE111 with the EME starter today. So far I'm impressed. We will see how it holds up under use.

The 3542 outrunner Electric motor that powers the starter pulls 16.38 amps and uses 192.9 watts for a cold starts. It pulls 8.19 amps and uses 95.9 watts for warm starts. I was concerned by what appeared that motor was stalling during the startup but with these numbers it must be the soft start mode.

The DLE111 tacks 1400 rpm at reliable idle and 6600 rpm at full throttle on a 28 x 8 Xoar prop. That calculates to 56.29 pounds of static thrust or 11.034 HP. The engine is the latest V3 and is new with only about 8 ounces of gas run through it for now.
