I would venture a guess it's almost exactly the same as a DLE since they share the same parts. Does the word "clone" have any significance here? That might be a little innaccurate since at least the piston is from the DLE manufacturing process. Just about any engine will run, and that's pretty much a given if only a few things are close enough to correct for combustion to happen. The long term is the area I have concerns about with any brand.

Don't think I'm in muddy waters at all. When someone is trying to push an engine line they are typically eager to get as many high rpm numbers with different props posted as quickly as possible. I do not comprehend holding back on those values for several months or more.
