yeah... I felt a little dumb, a new battery and it fired right up. Got about a tank through the 55 now and runs and starts on the first flip when warm. 
My ZDZ never started this easy. I'm stoked now! Gonna fly it this weekend.

RE: WOW!! New DL 111cc and 55cc !
Hey Guys,
i just got my DLE 111 in this week. I looked it over and am satisfied with everything except one thing. i noticed the fins on the head are quite thin compared to my DA and also the DL 50 that i have. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Got my first four flights in today with the DLE 55. Ran excellent! Couldn't have started any easier. Only needed choke for the first start and always started quickly, usually one flip if still slightly warm. Put a smile on my face. What a change from the ZDZ I had for years. Ran great in the air as well. Others at the field had heard of the DL's but this was the first any had seen and they were all well impressed. Everything stayed tight, ran great and no leaks, together with a 75 degreee day and clear blue skies made for awesome day of flying.

Mustang,
Glad to hear you are happy with your DLE 55. I ordered one on Friday. A friend of mine has one and was impressed as well. This prompted me to "jump in". It's going on a Hanger 9/Carden.... Bill

Good to hear they are running good. I should have mine in the air this weekend if I manage to get my firm brown collected.

Not sure if it is already posted, but I see that TBM has the DLE-222 listed.

Ordered mine today [8D]
I'm going to put it into my PA Clip Wing Monocoupe for a season, a bit concerned about prop clearance. Can I use smaller prop (like 20x12 or even 18x12) and restrict throttle to never exceed 7000-7200rpm? Is it ok to use smaller prop for break in, too?

I read this whole thread and even saw some pretty pictures but what about putting a prop on it and starting it?
Anybody decided to fire this bad boy up?
Wife said I could have one for my birthday but I want to see some smoke outta one. I'm already fairly convinced it's a deal so maybe I'll get to be the lucky guy who runs it.
Can't wait.
I'm just bettin its a hoss. Got a GP Ultimate waiting for it.

You are right. I guess I glazed over the thread.
I'm really set already on getting one of the DL55s and just a little nervous since they are so new.
It sounds like the DL50 has made its mark so I would assume the DL55 would be a safe bet.
