DLE 30 four stroke equivalent?

I was wondering if there is a four stroke glow alternative to a 30cc gas? I have an inverza 33 which I'd like to put an FS if possible,Would an 1.80 ASP provide enough power with an 18x10 prop? The model originally had a DLE 30
thanks

Saito 1.80 will be the four stroke alternative to a 30cc gas engine. However, the Saito 1.80 is a fuel hog. Hope you are willing to pay the price for nitro fuel.

What about the OS gf40 gas 4stroke ? Cheers the pope

The YS160 or 170 glow engines put out similar power to the dle30. These will turn a 19x11 APC prop at useful rpm. And of course throttle response is second to none. You should be able to find a new or low time YS for a song anymore. These thoroughbred pattern engines are being given away by pattern folks since they have all converted to electric.

if you decide on nib engine from a supply house, don't overlook RCJapan. You will save 100's over the domestic sources.
