Will the DL50 muffler fit the DL55? I am ready to purchase a 50 for my TF Mustang and JTEC just finished up their R&D on an in cowl muffler specifically for the TF corsair/DL50 combo.

Far as know, yes it will.

Just noticed both the 55 and 111 DLE engines show an increase in power over the 50 and 100cc (5.2 to 5.5hp, and 10.2 to 11.2 respectively), but also noticed there's a weight decrease in both .... 1350 grams down to 1310 grams, and 2950 down to 2870 grams respectively.

There is no info on the 4 cylinder other than coming soon but that was announced months ago. The DL factory is very good at keeping things quiet until they want you to know.

And Bosco, the DL50 thread isn't going anywhere, it'll just have a younger brother to mentor along. If things go right you guys will keep them separate so things don't get confused between the two, I expect they may have some differences worth keeping separate.

This was true at the the time of the previous posts. Shortly after, we were informed of an enforced minimum advertised price of $410.00 for the DLE55 and $730.00 for the DLE111. Sorry![sm=angry.gif]

Still a lot cheaper than the Other name brand D@.... Lets just hope there is a power increase with that price increase!

Guy's, FWIW i just got a email from Cyclone Hobby (China) saying that they will sell DLE55 for 265.00USD,no price for shipping though.but it realy shouldn't be more than 50.00?

Thats just my luck! I just order the 50 last week.[&o]

" DLE-222 222CC 4 Cylinder Gas Engine will release out soon! "

I just came across this. They also have a video.

Hey guys something does not make sence.How does the DL111 pick up 1hp and the DL55 only gets .3 hp more. the other thing is if you take 55 +55 you get 110 how do they get a DL111 out of two DL55. Thanks The RoadRunner

The bore and stroke works out to 55.67cc for one cylinder and 111.33cc for two cylinders. Simple math. Radius squared x pi x stroke. If they wanted they could have rounded the 55 up and called it a DL 56. For marketing they probably liked the sound of 55, 111, and 222 better.

Me too. I ordered my DL-50 a few weeks ago. I also ordered a prop, J-Tec muffler and prop drill jig. They told me it would be few days before they had the muffler so I told them to ship everything when the mufler was in stock. I got the prop today in separate box so I expect the engine will show up by tomorrow. Oh well, the 50 is overkill on my intended plane anyway.

You guys worrying about the new 55 coming out should just relax. The DL-50 is an absolute power house. Let me tell you guys this. You take your DL put it up next to one of the "NAME BRAND" motors and you will out power them, and your motor will start easier than any of them I promise!!

Then when you want the 55 you'll just have to build another plane.

super08 that dosnt answer the hp diff. if the 55 is .3 hp more the 111 should be .6hp more right. the runner

PAUL5992, YOU ARE RIGHT,,.. dont wory about the differance I would be willing to bet that the 55 cylinder would fit on the 50 crank case (it could be) that the 50 series cylinder and piston is not being built but the 55 is,. if we could get the info from the mfgr. as to why ??? the 50 is no longer around . or possibley the engine designer found the 55 is a better and stronger engine ?? things to think about and make one say hmmmmmm I wounder !?

That I have no idea of what the actual answer is. To offer a guess though the 55 has one piston that has increased in size trying to turn one crankshaft and the 111 has two pistons that have increased in size to turn one crankshaft. So therefore the overall resistance by percentage is less with the twin. I could be out to lunch with that idea, as I said it's just a guess.

Its no big deal I was just trying see why it dosnt realy matter its just great to have more power and less wt. should be a great motor just like the DL50 is. Thanks The Runner

OK guy's

let's see if this make any light of this,

The DL 50 is a great engine so what can we do to make it better? Let's take some of the feeback that we have on the bad side and change it [ what ever the bad side may be] so they may have made some improvement to the engine and bore the cylinder out a few thousand in large the piston ring only and let's call it the DLE 55, and I think that may be all they have done to it, so I would not build my hopes up to think that it will have much more power than it has at this time, I do not think we will notice any diference in this new engine, Im perfectly happy with mine as it is,

2mm increase in bore is over 78 thou. Need more than a new ring. I would think it will involve a new piston as well. We'll have to see once they start to arrive over here.

check out Cyclone Toy and Hobby, not just for the dl55 but also alot of familiar looking planes...

You are correct,

I said a few thousads as mater of speach,

they might also enlarge the reed valve , look at the MT57 reed valve, it is larger, and it is a hard running engine

I have the 88" extra 330L black,red, yello... its a nice plane! I did the build on here. With a DL-50 and a regular avionics setup it will come in under 16lbs!

Guys I know this is way off subject, but what are yall useing for a throttle arm? I have a DL-50 that I just bought, that lil throttle arm is just way to short, I need a longer one so I can set up my throttle linkage. Thanks.
