One guess could be a lack of design and machining skills to produce a large bore single. Certainly the market is there..

1 - They couldn't find the right oil to use in them
2 - They couldn't be certain which brand of prop was best to trial them with
Just made them way too hard to get to the market

A couple of years ago DL was playing with one, but was having problems with vibrations due to the extreme combustion impulses. He also did not want it to compete against the 111 sales, why build an engine that will compete against an engine you already sell was the thinking at the time.

The DLE 85 (one produced) takes a special mineral in the oil that comes from a special asteroid that passes by the International Space Station. Now that Nobama has killed the Space Shuttle program, this mineral can no longer be extracted from the asteroid, so DLE was forced to canx the DLE85. Your Gubberment hard at work.....

With all the money being sucked out of the US into China they will be able to afford their own space station soon.

Not only is our gubberment giving the place away to them, they are encouraging the large businesses to do so also.
One of our latest?
We import Prefabbed houses frmo China and transport them here to set up for our indigenous Australians. We then MUST build houses in Australia for the hugely large number of illegal refugees coming here. - why? - because the Human rights commission won't allow us to provide the illegals with the Chinese houses (which are cheaper) - because we apparently have to supply those Illegal immigrants with the same level of housing as we provide Australians. - Di I mention those ollegal immigrants are getting those houses supplied - to the detention centre where they sit in great comfort while we decide if they are the right people to have here - therefore they are still illegals then? - Did I mention they are illegal immigrants?
Give us "Nobama" over "Julia" any day. Can we perhaps list them in the swap shop?
And we think a rare mineral for oil is a significant issue, the Chinese probably got given that asteroid as a gift because the likes of Julia and Obeyme are a bit worried about upsetting Hu.
There will no doubt be an asteroid clone available soon - complete with "Clone oil".
