im flying the lanier 87" extra w/ a DA50, and the thing has unlimited vertical and everything, i don't think i would go with anything else, great choice for the plane, IMO

SENEKAfive · 01-02-2008, 07:49 PM

dl-50 a knock off of the da-50 but same quallity only 390.00 with muffler and igntion. just go to google and type dl-50 and find dlusa.com.

Wild Thang · 01-02-2008, 09:25 PM

I agree with Seneka, DL-50's are just as good as a DA-50. In fact they have a little more power and same weight. I'm going to put one on my new PAU Extra 330L 87".

Oh and Luke, it's Dlusa.net :P

I have seen a lot of different combinations on Lanier planes. Honestly, the best flying combo IMO is the Evo 58.

I have informed the guys about your issue, and I guess they should be ready to help.

christopherj · 01-04-2008, 01:22 PM

go with a DA-50 one of my friends had a DL-50

first 10 flights ran very good no problem at all then he started having major problems, so I would go with a Da-50 or Evolution 58 for more power!!

skhalil · 01-04-2008, 02:10 PM

Thanks for the info. I have read about the DL-50 in the other thread and was confused.

BreadBowl · 01-04-2008, 02:12 PM

I would say a DL-50 with A123's to save weight!

HTSkywalker · 01-05-2008, 05:11 PM

VIC I was thinking of the EVO 58 as well, what do you know about the quality of the EVO compared to DA ? I would love to get the extra .8 HP punch the EVO can provide over the DA50 and would also benefit from the extra weight for balancing

Wild Thang · 01-05-2008, 05:34 PM

HTS, Evolutions are nice engines. DA is still beating them though. I've heard some complaints, not that many though. You are adding 17 oz more if you go with the evo though. A guy at my feild has unlimited vertical with his 18.5 lb aeroworks yak with a da-50. I've seen it take off like a space shuttle

. DA-50 is fine, but I would reccomend a DL-50. GREAT engine! quality is just as nice as a DA-50, just not as shiney. Look at it: www.Dlusa.net

PS, I do like that the 58 comes with the ignition, the 48 or what ever it was didn't.

HTSkywalker · 01-06-2008, 04:11 PM

SP unless you are getting a good share people would wonder why you are preaching about the DL. For God sake those engines have been in the market for less then 1 year, how can you judge an engine in such a short period ?
DA man all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

SENEKAfive · 01-06-2008, 08:01 PM

because he has experience with the engie and they are just as good as a da-50

Experience means how many gallons ?, the company manufacture only 1 type of engine (50) as far as their US site offers. It is a fresh company, Do you think they would be there in the coming years, all with spare parts and support ?
could be the case, but I won't risk my money.
ANyway I respect everyone's choice, the DL should have proven itself to get this much attention. I am in too much of a conflict between the 50cc and 85cc don't want to get more lost with the DA/DL fight.
Anyway guys, anyone with reports on the DA85 mounted ?

S5, can't see how if someone have experience with "Engie" (no matter how good she could be

) would help him in judging ENGINES
