Default RE: DL-50 engine

ORIGINAL: Spadkun

Just finished running mine on the mineral break-in oil. 8 liters seems to have taken ages. Put a couple of flights in on sythetic oil and the revs and power seem to have picked up a bit. Changed from a 22x8 Hawk prop to a 23x8 ZOAR on the last flight. This engine ,prop are a great match for my Bling. Hovering a 50cc gasser a couple of feet of the deck is how I'm gettin my kicks at the moment!
I know I should tweek her after making the switch to synthetic, but she is running so sweet I don't want to touch the needles.
Have you seen the new engine on the HobbyCity site? They are calling it the "DL Killer" Looks nice, especially the price!

DL cylinder on a machined case? I can never seem to get pictures posted on RCU, I never have problems with the other forums , maybe it's a mac thing?
It looks to me to be the same as the XYZ-50HP from southeast RC engines... http://www.southeastrcengines.com/see_010.htm
