Again, the DLE 30 does not quit in flight. Some have had issues, generally with pretty new engines, where they would quit after landing. Some have had issues where the engine would quit when the plane was picked up by hand and tilted. It does not stop in flight.

Giving credit where credit is due, the DLE 30 is a good engine selection that performs best after a prolonged break in. That time varies engine by engine but nine will be broken in after only a couple tanks of gas. Plan on a couple gallons of gas though I prefer to use hours as a more accurate time standard.

No, I cannot elaborate on the other engine design. You folks need to maintain some hope that DLE will correct their design deficiences and that Syssa will work out to be as good as they say. Ya'll gotta quit believing hp numbers without a dyno plot to go along with it though.
