Well any news yet Tom.
You bet. I have two of the engines and have been flying one, sent the other to an associate (not Pat, I do have other friends) who will start flying the snot out of his. I have mine on a 35% Edge and had it out at the field on Friday.
I have about a half hour flying time on mine plus another 15 minutes on the ground, and I am very happy. It is a gem of an engine, starts easy, idles very smoothly below 1400 rpm, has power equal to the DL-100 and is very well behaved. Also it's 3/4 pound lighter than the DL, the bare engine weighs 4 lbs. 15 oz.
I need to do some more flight testing to check out various setups but I think I will be ready to start selling them in a few weeks.
BTW the mufflers on the TMM-106 (name changed from 3mm due to letters from the 3M scotch tape people) are WAYYY better than those on the DL, and the TMM uses a real Walbro carb. They did a very nice job on it.
