What engine is this???
I bought a used Top Flight Mustang with a DLE type engine but no markings on it. I am in the process of going thru the plane and getting it ready to fly. But i can`t figure out who made this engine. No doubt it`s a china copy. The head looks to be a DLE mold but not the crank housing. It has a Walbro carb. 50cc and had a 22-10 prop. thanks

RE: What engine is this???
SV-50? Wonder if it`s worth a c@#$% ? Did some research. Looks like the SV-50. thanks. Wonder if it will turn a 22-10 prop like a DLE-55? This plane is to much $$$ to have this cheap engine. All i could see was the head thru the cowl when i bought the plane. Guy said it was a DLE. I know DLE. This ain`t! Got a good deal on the plane so it`s not a big loss. I haven`t started it yet. Waiting on my reciever and going thru the plane. I have and extra DLE in the box if i need it. But i will see if this on runs first. There are no, dead sticking, this plane!!

RE: What engine is this???
Would love to have a DA. But DLE is the only China engine i would trust. But, since i have this SV-50 with the deal, i want to find out how it runs. May take it off and put it on a cheap, Extra ARF. I would like the DA-60.
