Thanks, yea that tbm is a high load prop so thats a real good rpm

Anyone tried the ES Composite pipes on either engine (DL50 or DL55)?

Has someone weighed the DL-55 on an accurate scale. Trying to see the actual weights vs the published weights.
I would appreciate if someone could tell the weight of the entire engine (engine, plug, standoffs etc) + the ignition.

The muffler choice is the users so I don't like to see that weight included with the engine weight.

Thanks

Just got my DL 55 and the engine weighs 2.95lbs, with the muffler, standoffs and ignition it weighs 3.7lbs

What does the muffler weigh so it can be subtracted from the total?

hey look a clone of a clone. do two clones make a right.

Never thought I would see the phrase "shamelessly borrowed" as part of a marketing endeavor. Maybe "shamelessly borrowed" translates to "improved upon" or "upgraded" in Chinese...

well...."Turnigy" is sold out of hobby city and hobby king , a huge china based hobby supplier. I can't believe they actually copied the DL like that....incredible! I guess they don't have trademark or patent laws over there that work worth a damn.

well if I understand correctly, Turnigy and XYZ are the same. There is another thread going on here somewhere regarding the whole thing. Not a good thing.

well got my one on Wednesday mount it in the plane
Chq to see if i have to cut the cowl out
well when i went put the plug in it just pushes in
its just like they taped it the wrong size
i thought may be the plug that came with in went to the shop where i got from he tried new
new one same thing looks like taped the wrong size for the plug
has anyone seen this

Wow I just got mine, but I haven't tried the plug yet... brb

Mine is fine. Plug screws in OK...
