Default RE: DL-50 engine

Just got my first DL and am really impressed, mounted it on a 3DHS 85" Katana and got to run it in yesterday. First off, it started easily 5 flips choke on, 3 flips choke off, purred like a kitten, idle was a little rough, but to be expected with a brand new motor. The sound was just incredible using a bisson wrap around pitts. By the end of the afternoon I was pulling 6960 with my tach spinning a 3W 22x8 prop, and a crowd of people at the field asking what motor I had and how much did it cost.

I ran out of time so couldn't get any flight time yet, but I can't wait to get back to the field and get it airborne. I've been following this thread for a while now trying to decide if I wanted to give this engine a shot, and I'm glad I did. BTW thanks everyone for all the great information that's been posted here.

Another satisfied DL customer!
