Default Re: Plane for DL30?

3D Hobby Shop is coming out with a line of 65" - 70" planes that will be suitable for the DLE 30.

Sounds like there's going to be a great market for this engine, as evidenced by all the manufacturers jumping into this. It could be the next 50cc .

This smaller size is just what I am looking for right now.
Estimated weight with the DLE-30 is about 10 lbs. The earlier versions were capable of coming in under 10, I have not been able to weigh the new ones yet but they are still VERY light.

The price of the plane alone will be $319. Combo with DLE-30/muffler, complete hardware, prop and spinner will be $679, a savings of $61. That will include one of our 19-8 bunny props and a 3" Dave Brown aluminum spinner.

We'll have a servo package of 4 HD DS120M servos plus extensions for $159.

For our part we've had these 73" planes for many years, but they were always lacking a decent gas engine. Now I think that problem is solved and the size will be very popular.

It's a size that's big enough to fly well but still small enough to fit in a sedan.

Looks like I will be waiting till the end of September for a new plane then. Will you have any other servo packages like Hitec? I have had terrible luck with the DS120 servos.

I also have the 9110s and 9150s and a few other numbers. Of course I have Hitec packages as well.

It looks like the 5485HB will be perfect for this plane, assuming it is more accurate than the 5645. If so I'll have a package with the 5485s.

I will order a few of them to see how they work. The specs are perfect for this size plane.

I found a NIB plane for a great price. I think this should be a good match for the DL30.

Default Re: Plane for DL30?

I'm planning to put this engine on a Somenzini 72", I have had a lot of problems with the engine of this plane...

First of all, YS 140 sport, not enough power to 3D.
then Evolution 35cc, more power, but, but, A LOT OF WEIGHT. Snaps almost 90% of time. Weight is about 13lbs, too much for the wing loading.

Then I'm planning to buy one DL-30 for this beautiful plane, but I'm not sure if this engine is enough for 3D or should I add an OS 160?

The DL 30 will be plenty of power for you.

Kevin Elders orange/blue scheme is awesome. It was my desktop pic for awhile. Good choice and at $319, a good pick.

Default Re: Plane for DL30?

Has anyone used the AW Yak 54 .90-1.20 w/DLE 30cc combo? I have a copy of the mounting template for the DLE and noticed that the mounting holes and the firewall of the AW Yak is almost the exact same size. Mounting template holes: 54mm x 70mm, the firewall is about 2-3mm larger. What do ya do?????? I thinking about getting this motor but I don't want to spend the $$$ if this is not going to work. If it can't, I'll go with the new MLD 28cc.

Default Re: Plane for DL30?

hi,
i read with interest, i got an edge540T V2 from wildhare and also another edge 26cc class with a poor 26 cc jc engine.
First thing is; JC engines are crap, weak ! it would ertainly be better with the DL 30.
The flying charecteristics of the 50cc gasser are much better than te smaller one! stability is incredibly better with the "tall one".
I come a bit late on the subject, is there some news about this flying project ?
Kind regards Olivier
