Anyone have one yet?

If the 35RA hauls the mail the way the OS33 hauls it, it will be special indeed!!

Looks to me like they kept the 30's bottom and created a new, bored out top. It is more likely a revver on smaller props, depending on their porting.
For now, I'm sticking with the OS33GT. The only desirable feature the new DLE has is the rear exhaust

Oh to have a rear exhaust DLE20 right now. I need to find a wrap around Pitts for the 4*120. It is was a rear exhaust, I could mount and run the engine with the stock muffler.

Thank you....The bore to stroke ratio kinda leaves me cold as does compression ratio. Been down this road with the Mintor 38....... I am going to wait and see on this one

I think you should clarify that you are looking for an engine that has a more linear throttle response to allow for more propeller speed control during precision flying.
The trend to get more power from two stroke is more and more undersquare geometry. You prefer a more torquey engine.
What the OS 33 may havbe on other engine is better breathing i.e. bore stroke relationship to inlet and exhaust durations.
Not everyone is looking for that. Most probably don't know the benefit of it.

What that would do for weight (no more wrap arounds), as well as the ability to stuff these things into smaller cowls without hacking the daylights out of them? If people think the 20 class is growing quickly now, just make that rear exhaust configuration available and see what happens....
Or a beam mounted rear exhaust 15?
OK, done dreaming....

Or a 10CC for the smaller planes. The one thing I had a problem with was finding a plane other than a warbird that could handle the 20CC, either they top out at .91 FS or start at 26cc. The plane it does fit, the Ultra, or 4*60 or 120 are no longer available, there is only one that is still out there, and it is one ugly plane, the big stink. That one doesnt have cowl cheeks so the muffler doesnt matter, but the 4* has cheeks and the engine with stock muffle doesnt fit.

I just talked to Tom at VVRC and he will have the first shipment of 35's and 55's in less than a week.(He got the tracking number) I'm first on the list for the 35RA! It's going into a KMP Bearcat. Just got the Sierra gear installed the other day. I can't wait to fly this thing again with some REAL power.

I just installed a DLE 60 twin in a Bridi Bizzee Bee (engine fits inside the cowl). The instructions that came with the engine say that the engine must be broken in mounted with some damping system to avoid damage. I plant to break in the engine while mounted in the plane unless some one can verify that a damping system is required for break-in.
