dle 85 on a 1/3 scale cub
I was one of the first to buy the dle85 in fact it's serial number 7. Before I bolted it to the firewall I had to reverse the carb for easier installation with linkages. My father in law and I notice that inside the engine every part had a number 7 on each of the parts, so we thought maybe it was blueprinted? All I know is it pulls the almost 40pd cub unlimited vertical and and it turns a 26x10 xoar @ 6800 new and its probably over 7k now which is higher than some others on here. I wouldn't run anything smaller than a 26x10 in my opinion. This engine has run absolutely flawless and perfect with no hiccups or anything. The isomount works perfect and is so smooth its unbelieveable. Just wanted you guys to know how it's running so far, and also how good it is on fuel... thanks
