I have a couple and like them. I like the DLE35re better though. I also think it would be better on a 80" plane.

I have a DLE 30 one on a Great Planes Giant Stik. It weighs in ready to fly at 13'8". It will hover and go vertically as high as you like. Pulls an 18x10 with ease...

I probably should have been more specific with my answer. There is a not big difference in pull between the Dle30 & 35. But there is a difference on the ones I own.The things I like better about the DLE35cc: The mid range is better. It is easier to start after it sits a while. The sound is more mellow. The rear exhaust is a better cowl fit on a 30cc size plane.

Both are good engines and you would be happy either way. If I was in the market for another though, it would be a 35.

Has anyone made a single bolt prop hub for any of the DLE engines? I would like to have one but the only motor they show with a single bolt hub is the 20. I know Bennet used to sell single bolt hub adapters for the bigger gas engines years ago, maybe they still do.
