DLE Engines DLE 20CC Gas RC Aircraft Engine for RC Plane with Electronic Ignition and Muffler

The DLE-20 Gas Engine includes a beam mount for fast, easy installation. A rear pumper carb simplifies installation and adjustment. A generous package of “extras” and electronic ignition for starting ease make the DLE-20 an attractive, affordable option with the power to really move your Radio-Control aircraft. Flies on a 30 to 1 gas to 2-cycle engine oil mixture and delivers 2.5 horsepower at 9,000 rpm. Total engine weight is less than two pounds – perfect power for larger planes at minimum weight.
