Hello guys
I tried to find some info refers to the subject
So you will have to forgive me if you already talked about it a million times
Interested in buying this engine for a realy big beast that i have built from scrach,
The plane took off air for the first time yesterday, and had a very severe power problem!!
the Original engine, a ZACKS 75 CC engin with a24/8 fan in the front
could not deel with the 17 kg of pine, still, and wires...
the flight was veeeery slow and in a state of almost stalling!
Before the final decision regarding the purchase of motor
I would like to know whether the engine reliable? Is the ignition system reliable?
Most importantly, whether the engine is strong enough for that plane?
could it fly the plane nice and slow but still have the extra power to pool it out of truble?
hope to get to a Solution, that thing belong in the air!

thank you all

(its all Written in Hebrew.. but you could find the flight data on page 13)

The DLE111 is powerful and reliable as well as the ignition, it could hover your 17 kg of pine, silk, and wire at about 2/3 throttle. More than enough power.</p>

Another vote for the DLE-111.  Mine has been very reliable, plenty of power, for well over 100 flights.

nice airplane!!!

you might try a 24 x 10 prop before you give up on your 75cc engine......an 8 pitch isn't very much "bite" for all that drag.
I think you might be pleasently surprised.
Cheers,
Art

thanks guys
art, the first prop that came with the engine was a 24/10
but it broke, so i didnt realy had the chance to fly it,
waht i was thinking of doing after that flight is fitting a24/12
before buying another engine!
do you realy think that that adding 2 intch on the pitch can make the diferent???

yoav.

Hey guys, I have a fairly new DLE 111 and i can't get it to shut off when I pull the idle all the way closed. I have moved out the stop screw to make sure it was not preventing the throttle (butterfly) to fully close. Other than this it runs great and has a fairly good idle....a bit fast, requires me to fully close the butterfly to make it tic over? Any ideas? I use air cooled Penzoil 32:1 and CM-6 plugs. Any ideas? Thanks, Henry

look at the low end needle . -it could be on the rich side bill

I think you got that backwards Art, a cleaner airplane will pull a coarser prop better than a dirty one. It refered to as prop slipage. A course prop will slip more on an airplane with more drag.

Yovick, I just maidened a 33% cliped T craft today with the 111, at 40 lbs it pulled it around great,

recomended prop for a DLE 111 is 27X10
