I am looking at these 2 to put in a Seagull Yak-54 90 size (yellow black)
as this would be my first gas engine I am not familiar with these...
are there are other engines you folks might recommend?

Thanks!

I would take the DLE 20cc over the RCGF. DLE is lighter and more powerfull

Hi

DL-20 ......................... period

rcpilot · 02-28-2011, 05:15 PM

+1, 2, 3 on the Dl20, even the mounting bolt pattern is same as a 120 4 stroke glow motor, so, it will drop fit on the same mount.

i vote the dle 20 way more power
but i would want a 30 cc in the Seagull Yak-54 90 size i have a 25 cc in mine wish i had more power ! also with the dle 20 you would need alot of extra nose weight.
i would go with the dle or the dla 30 that great hobbies sells

DLE - it's a ton lighter.

Thanks everyone, looks like the DL is a winner...

I will be looking at the 30cc option as well... but would it be too big for this plane?

pipercub17 · 03-01-2011, 01:22 PM

no it will fit great i have a spe 25 in mine and it is bigger than the dle 30

like i said before mine with the 25 cc sucks it needs just a bit more power to do any 3d stuff

but if you wanna fly around and do some loops and rolls the dl 20 would be fine

I think most of the comparisons here must have been done to an early version of the RCGF because the new version looks like an exact copy of the DLE. Mind you these RCG 20's have just come on the market I believe, so I'm not sure people have put any abuse on them to see how they will hold up. The RCG20 is $40 bucks cheaper than the DLE20 at Hobby King, problem is the DLE's are never in stock and from what I hear won't be anytime soon. The RCG20 is only $159 from Hobby King so for under a couple of hundred you could land one. Here is some pics of the two engines. The DLE20 is on the left and the RCG20 is on the right. Kind of tough to tell them apart.

I can tell you I put a DLE 20 in my Seagull 60-75 Decathlon and it'll hover at 3 clicks up from idle DON'T bother with a DLE 30 you'll rip it apart. Actually it'll just self destruct all by itself.......... unlimited vertical from a hover.
