RE: DLE Long term reliability ?
I can manage to escape from work and go flying 3 or 4 times per week. I fly freestyle mostly, and I try to use good reliable equipment becouse here we have limited sources to get rc stuff, and if anything fails, it can take a few weeks to get a replacement without spending a lot of money on curiers.
My point is that the dle 111 is the most powerfull, reliable and cost efective engine that I can get. There are other engines that can provide more power, but they cost a lot more. And my dle has been bulletproof.
And I own da engines also to compare with.
