DLE-170 Integrated Starter and Generator Version

A: It is an upgraded DLE-170 gasoline engine with an integrated starter and generator configuration, designed for large RC aircraft, UAV projects, paramotor-style propulsion work and professional aircraft power-system integration.

A: The listed import price is £3,310 for the DLE-170 Integrated Starter and Generator Standard Package. Final pricing may vary if installation support, propeller matching, starter-battery planning, generator-output planning, workshop support or prototype integration assistance is added.

A: This version adds an integrated starter and generator configuration, including a planetary gear starter mechanism and in-built generator kit reference for multi-purpose UAV, paramotor-style and propulsion projects.

A: The listed displacement is 170cm³ / 170cc.

A: The listed performance output is 17.5HP at 7500 RPM.

A: The standard specification reference lists a 1,100–7,500 RPM operating range.

A: The listed bore and stroke are 52mm × 40mm.

A: The listed compression ratio is 9.5:1.

A: The listed lubrication ratio is 30:1. Fuel/oil mixing should follow engine manual guidance and proper break-in procedure.

A: The listed spark plug type for the starter-generator parameter section is NGK CMR7H.

A: The page lists starting motor power as 12V 400W.

A: The page lists generator voltage as 14.5V and generator power as 350W at 6000 RPM.

A: It uses a planetary gear starter assembly. The starter output gear extends to drive the engine while starting, then disengages and retracts after the engine has started.

A: The product page positions it as smaller, high-torque, durable and more reliable, with fewer parts and reduced failure-rate potential compared with earlier starter designs.

A: The page states that different rotation configurations, including clockwise and counter-clockwise, can be provided for project requirements. Confirm the required rotation before ordering.

A: The starter-generator parameter section lists 32x10 and 32x12 propellers. Standard DLE-170 references also mention 30x12 and 32x10. Final propeller selection should match airframe, generator load, altitude and safe RPM limits.

A: A propeller should be treated as required separately unless specifically included in the final quotation. Confirm final package contents before order.

A: The page lists engine + muffler weight as 5900g, igniter + spark plug as 265g, relay as 160g and rectifier as 415g.

A: Yes, the page states that mufflers are included.

A: Yes, the page states that mount and standoffs are included. It also references machined aluminum standoffs and mounting template in the standard DLE-170 package description.

A: It requires gasoline mixed with suitable 2-stroke oil. Fuel/oil mixing should follow the listed 30:1 lubrication reference and manufacturer guidance.

A: Yes, the page specifically references UAV projects as a target use case. Final suitability depends on airframe design, cooling, vibration isolation, propeller selection, electrical integration, generator load and safe testing procedures.

A: The page references paramotor projects, but any human-carrying use requires qualified engineering review, structural integration, safety systems, operator training, certification checks and local aviation compliance.

A: No. This is an advanced high-power gasoline engine with integrated starter/generator electrical systems. It should be installed and operated by trained users or professional integrators.

A: Planning should cover ignition battery, starter battery, relay wiring, rectifier wiring, generator load, switchgear, fuse/protection strategy, grounding, vibration-resistant connectors and safe cable routing.

A: Typical required items include suitable propeller, fuel tank, fuel tubing, fuel filter, ignition battery, starter battery, wiring harness, switch harness, throttle linkage, engine mount, vibration isolation, cooling design, starter controls, field tools and correct gasoline/oil mix.

A: Maintenance should include checking propeller bolts, prop hub security, engine mounting bolts, muffler bolts, spark plug, ignition wiring, starter wiring, relay/rectifier wiring, generator output, fuel lines, fuel filter, throttle linkage, carburetor tuning and general engine cleanliness.

A: Operators should follow propeller safety, fuel safety, fire safety, electrical safety, secure mounting, safe starting procedure, safe tuning practice and field operation rules. Never stand in front of or in line with the propeller while the engine is running.

A: Warranty support generally covers manufacturing defects under approved use and normal operating conditions. Damage from incorrect fuel mix, poor tuning, overheating, propeller strike, crash impact, vibration damage, wiring errors, overload of generator system, dirt ingestion, water exposure or unauthorized modification may not be covered.
