Re: New Magnum .52 gasser So, nearing 2 years since this engine was first talked about... Has anyone bought one, and replaced a .46 glow with it? I have been out of the loop so to speak since my son was born last year. Still kind of busy to devote too much time to RC, but I was thinking of this recently. Anyone? AJC |

 I also dont buy engines to see them perform, heck I am a modeler and I fly everything I buy. However I do test a lot of engines so I have quite a lot of info on various weights, performance levels on various props, etc to go by on comparing them.So, back to waiting for the .52 to come out.. AJC |

Re: New Magnum .52 gasser I have a 55 and have researched the 20 to replace my 125. The "guy" your talking about is Jody from Valleyview(the thread I copied). If you spend any time on RCU or flying giants you will know that he is a stand up guy. I'm sure others would agree. I also like to see proof so here is all the parts on a scale. I'd be happy to wait till you get one and see your results. I don't buy engines to see how they perform, I buy them to fly and with some very good people out there that I trust I tend to make good decisions. Sometimes that requires some sifting but I prefer that then getting a lemon.  It's all good. |

Re: New Magnum .52 gasser And I ask again... do you own and fly a DLE20 or is this just talking about what you read on RCU? It means a lot to me. I hate discussing engine specifics with guys who havent even had one in their hands. Personally I only state info on engines that I have run, and placed on my scale. That way, I know exactly what I say is true. I have found - especially with some on RCU - the figures tend to get enhanced or de-enhanced at times, depending on who's posting about what. AJC |

Re: New Magnum .52 gasser Most reputable shops I can find are advertising the bare engine & muffler weight as 29 and change. That is why I dont believe anything until I get it on MY scale. AJC Quote:

Re: New Magnum .52 gasser 29 ounces is with ignition unit but no battery. Then again use one of these and save even the ignition battery and then some. http://www.valleyviewrc.com/Zeus%20f...20Products.htm The DLE 30 weighs 39 ounces, everything except battery. The DLE 20 has numbers close to the OS 120ax. Great news for us.

And, in a small aircraft, every additional "few ounces" adds up. Again, dont get me wrong, I am ALL for small gasoline engines. I love them! Clean, cheap fuel and easier to run (no need for starter, etc). However I like to talk specifics and in a small plane, say 5 to 8 pounds, forgetting to add the weight of something seemingly small as an ignition, battery and wiring/switch can add up to 10% of the plane's weight - which is substantial. Good discussion though. AJC |
