Giant-scale enthusiasts will love the power, performance and value of the DLE-85cc! The engineers at DLE have thought of everything. Vibration — a real concern for many single cylinder engines — is checked by a vibration-dampening engine mount. Plus, an exhaust extension lets the engine fit in more planes without cowl modifications. This extension will flex or pop off during a hard landing, helping to protect the engine.

- Suggested prop sizes: 25 x 10, 26 x 9, 27 x 8

- An exhaust extension on the included muffler aids in installation and helps protect the engine and muffler in the event of a hard landing
