based on the figures above,this engine compares to the os 160fx..... But id still take the DL30 over any comparable glow engine

Funny you say that, the plane I did my test on a segull 120 yak I ran the dle 30 with 19x8 prop revs 7450, I have now moved engine to a katana120
and have put my OS160 in the yak with 18x6 and 8550 revs, diffrents i found the dle300 had more low grunt and pull like no tomorrow with the yak
the os160 I would say performed 20% less IMO. now that is just my test other folks would find it diffrent i guess.

So my DLE30 runs a JXF 19x8 at 7450 and getting better each run.

Could thrust be added by the people that have a way to measure thrust? Thanks Capt,n

tele1974

I could use the prop calculator for that but I'm not sure how it compares to real world data. According to the calculator the Mej 18x8 prop at 8500 rpms should do 18lbs of static thrust. That would be tasty on my 12 pound bird. I am sure it would be different airframe to airframe. For example if you have a Extra 260 with a big mouth of a cowl intake. Wouldn't that affect the thrust? We can throw the thrust numbers in if guys list it.

All numbers with MenzS wood prop, well balanced and drilled:

18x8 8,350 rpm
19x8 7,330 rpm
20x6 7,230 rpm

Using RCEXL LCD mini tachometer attached to the ignition sensor.

Plane flew really fast, but would not 3D well. I just crashed it yesterday, yip, sad, but I did not really like the plane. I want to get a Yak or 260 and put a 19 X 8 on it.

I'm pretty close to sea level and don't think my 1.60 could make those numbers. Impressive.

EXTREME FLIGHT

First run, Mejzlick 18x6-9310 rpms! Looking to try a 19x8 and get it down in the mid 7000s.

Xoar 20x6....anybody have the RPM????? Thanks Capt,n P.S. I think that will be a good prop for hover,climbout & slower landings.

3DDino

what happens to ' no replacement for displacement' afterall they are only lawnmover motors []

I finally got our prop order, about 3 weeks late, now I can try some more props, I think the 19x8 may be the cats meow. I'm interested in your single bolt adapters and would love to check one out, I'll watch your website and snatch one up as soon as I see them. Maybe we could work something out, accessories? [8D] I"ve checked many DLE hubs and a few of the 30cc as well, they are some of the closest there are from a factory, never seen one over .002" out that didn't take a dirt nap. I know, I know, not good enough for Ralph.
