Yes I have purchased the Agm30cc, tge engine arrived well packed with a spark plug and a nice instructions and spec sheet.
The quality looks same as a dle engine although the muffler did have a small hole in it,QC issue, I took care of the hole with a metal epoxy which seems to have done the job.
The initial starting of the engine was very difficult.
Started by only priming the engine with fuel,I was told by Agm to check the seal between the carb and reed valve.
The engine idles and throttle response is good, needs some final fine tuning aftet I will finish the break in.
I have about 14 flights on it of about 9 min each,no issues what so ever, works great never missed a bit.
Engine response is good with a beech wood 18x8 prop. Some of my flying mates are ordering thid engine as well. Worth the money so far, as for reliability issues ,only time will tell,so far I am confident in this engine.

I have a AGM 30cc engine but I don't have a DLE 30cc engine to compare it to. I don't think there will be anyone who bought both who could compare them. Generally people buy one or the other.

When I mounted my AGM 30 on my Aeroworks Freestyle I used the template provided for a DLE 30 and it fit perfectly. By the way, the engine has been great, no problems. It pulls the Freestyle almost as well as my friends DLE 35 pulls his Freestyle (not Quite as well but almost). Plus, it is much Quieter with a Bisson Pitts muffler (crimped pipe tips ground off for an additional 600 RPM)..........RJ
