Made in USA I like it !! I am a pretty firm believer in you get what you pay for. Even when guys start comparing to the lower priced DLE @ 310.00 plus shipping add the following and the price gets really close.
Pitts muffler , will cost from 60.00 - 80.00
Stand offs with bolts if needed. 15.00 - 25.00
Ignition switch 12.00 - 15.00
That DLE is starting to loose its value at this point. Then performance wise , its hard to get good power out of the smaller class engines that are priced lower.
I think this should be a real winner !!! Seeing that Todd lives on US soil and builds these in the US I consider him a neighbor, and I like to try to support my friends and neighbors.

Hi Andy,
While I agree the performance is down on other smaller gas engines, the DLE is proven to spin a 18X6 @ 9000 rpm and 8400 rpm on a Menz 18X8 with stock exhaust.

I hope my SAP will do as well. Really wish Todd had posted a video or two of the engine like he said he would back in August.
Who buys made in the usa kits, arfs and radios? I used to buy Goldberg, Kraft, FMA (receivers) and wish I still could. Sig is hanging by a thread, only specialty companies can hang.
BTW, really not a pitts muffler more of a chin muffler, but I can make my own header and muffler.
Best regards,
Brian
I remember viewing a few videos he put out. The engine ran great in the videos. I think you missed them.....

Jimbo,
I only saw one video of an engine idling in a Cub.
