Vess 19B recomended to me by a dealer at Joe Nall. Stupifying power on a Sbach 30cc airframe. Did not tach it before it was broken on landing still looking for another one.

Now it's up to 8150 rpm from 7600 rpm after running a 1/4 gallon on break in. MAS Classic.
Will post as it breaks in more.

I'm at 8300rpm now. 1/3 gallon of fuel threw it now.
It's getting to dark and cold so I stopped for today.
Note that the slowly declining temperature this evening may have increased the rpm's too because of the power increase with cooler outside temps.
Colder = more air = more oxygen = more power.

Ok that was just plane stupid. When breaking in your DLE 30 don't use a such a large prop like the 20x6 MAS that I did.
Use a wood prop like a 18x6 or so.
I think I overloaded the motor on break in with the diameter of prop and the weight of it??
I'm lucky to get 7800rpm swinging a Xoar 18x10!
I'm now running a Bisson Pitts muffler and I realize that this does decrease the power a wee bit but the plane no longer climbs verticaly.
I don't think I broke this motor in properly.

Hi, I just started my DLE 30 V2 1st time, mounted on a Sbach 300. The prop used is Xoar silver sword 18X8 (wooden). My data on the 1st tank is:
XOAR 18X8 (SILVER) 8030 RPM 6.5 KG THRUST
using an RcExl tacho connected to the ignition and a digital fish scale attached to the tail wheel.
cheers...

8400aprox with a Master airscrew WOOD 18x8 at sea level and getting 13.5lbs static thrust. Out of the 10 props that I have(all the same) there is around 500rpm difference in all of the with verry little difference in the static thrust.

Does this engine beat the CRRC 26cc, will be on a 1.8m F3A plane.
Is this the real thing? http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=9675

It will beat the CRRC 26cc by a good margin.

Does these engines have a later option for a power boost by using a tuned pipe?
I forgot to mention, the F3A plane weighs in at 9lbs 5oz, would the DLE30 power it adequately?
What would be a better place to purchase the engine from, considering that i live in Europe?

I have read several of the DLE 30 Prop size postings and have a question concerning the 18 X 10 wood prop.. (not sure of brand)... My friend at the flying club is putting the DLE 30 with a 18 X 10 wood prop on his 14 pound Texan which would be around 16 pound + with engine ...Is this too much or too little prop on the DLE 30 for that heavy of a warbird? Thanks...
