Well the same company makes them to the best of my knowledge...

Either way 6200 is low... even if it had a MSC which is one of the thickest out there. with an MSC most get 6500+ on a 22x8 for a 50cc engine.

I am not knocking the product.. just saying what I have seen on other engines... even the Brillelli 50 is turning I believe a Xoar 22x8 at 6800-7000 new and that prop puts a pretty good load on an engine... infact I personally like them better than Vess myself

Personally I would say it would be better with a 21x8 so you can get the r's up to high 6s should be able to get 6800 judging by what you are reporting right now. Your old B46 is turning a 21x8 Xoar at 7000 and I just put a new carb on it that is suppose to add another 200 rpms min.

It is what it is.. an inexpensive engine. Its the same engine BCMA was selling and numbers spoken are close to the same.


So far there is only 1 inexpensive engine out there turning heads and thats the DL-50... however there is only 1 I know of that has over 15 gallons of gas thorugh it so far. I know of 1 that has a gallon and the bearings are already showing issues. These inexpensive engines are great if they last... that still remains to be seen.

Personally I would be curious to see what happens when someone who really beats up engines puts some of these new engines to the test for the summer. I want to see them with 15-25 gallons over a summer of hard flying.. that will speak volumes for them.
