DLE 60 Twin Gas Engine with Electronic Ignition & Pitts-Style Mufflers

A: The DLE 60 Twin is a 61cc opposed twin-cylinder gasoline engine designed for large-scale RC airplanes, giant-scale sport aircraft, scale aircraft, aerobatic aircraft and professional aeromodelling projects.

A: The listed import price is £719 for the DLE 60 Twin Gas Engine Standard Package. Final pricing may vary if installation support, propeller matching, workshop support or UAV prototype integration assistance is added.

A: The listed displacement is 61 cc, equal to approximately 3.7 cubic inches.

A: The DLE 60 Twin is listed with output power of approximately 5.5 HP at 8500 RPM.

A: The engine uses opposed twin cylinders, which can provide smoother operation and lower vibration than many single-cylinder gasoline engines in similar aircraft applications.

A: The product page lists bore reference as 36 mm / 1.42 in and stroke reference as 30 mm / 1.18 in, with pending confirmation noted on the source page.

A: The listed engine weight is approximately 1.56 kg / 4.37 lb.

A: The listed dual muffler weights are approximately 80 g and 85 g.

A: The listed ignition module weight is approximately 211 g / 7.44 oz.

A: Yes, electronic ignition is included with the engine package.

A: Yes, the package includes two Pitts-style mufflers.

A: Yes, a spark plug is included in the package.

A: Yes, engine standoffs are included according to the product page.

A: The engine requires unleaded gasoline mixed with suitable 2-stroke oil. The correct fuel/oil ratio should follow the official engine manual and break-in guidance.

A: The page lists ignition battery as a requirement, so it should be treated as a required separate item unless specifically included in the final quotation.

A: Propellers are listed as required items, not confirmed as included. Suitable propellers should be selected based on airframe, RPM target, altitude and flight style.

A: It is suitable for large-scale RC airplanes, giant-scale sport aircraft, scale aircraft and aerobatic aircraft designed for a 60cc-class twin gasoline engine.

A: It is best suited for experienced RC pilots or beginners working under expert supervision. Twin gasoline engines require careful installation, fuel handling, ignition setup, propeller safety and regular maintenance.

A: Yes, it may be used in petrol-powered fixed-wing UAV prototype projects if the airframe, vibration isolation, fuel system, propeller, cooling, ignition and safety procedures are professionally engineered.

A: Typical required items include suitable propellers, fuel tank, fuel tubing, fuel filter, ignition battery, switch harness, throttle linkage, engine mount, starter equipment, field tools and correct gasoline/oil mix.

A: Maintenance should include checking propeller bolts, engine mounting bolts, muffler bolts, spark plug, ignition wiring, fuel lines, fuel filter, throttle linkage, carburetor tuning and general engine cleanliness.

A: Operators should follow propeller safety, fuel safety, fire safety, controlled starting procedure, secure mounting, safe tuning practice and field operation rules. Never stand in the propeller arc during operation.

A: Twin-cylinder gasoline engines can provide smoother operation, reduced vibration and refined throttle behavior for larger RC aircraft where smoothness and reliability are important.

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, dirt ingestion, water exposure or unauthorized modification may not be covered.
