More power!


Producing 100 rpm more than the DLE-55, the DLE-55RA screams performance — from the lightweight piston skirt that speeds throttle response to the rear exhaust design that permits easy tuned pipe installation. Ideal for warbirds and aerobatic aircraft, it comes with engine standoffs, electronic ignition, spark plug and Pitts style muffler.


Features

• Advanced CNC machining, tight tolerances and refined porting improve compression and fuel burning efficiency to raise performance and reduce exhaust residue.
• Redesigned, lightened piston skirt provides better throttle response, fuel economy and resistance to wear.
• Included 2-stage Pitts muffler reduces back pressure and increases power.
• Also features a special aluminum alloy crankcase, high-quality sealed crankshaft bearings and DLE-customized carburetor.

DLE Electronic Ignition
Enjoy hassle-free starts with the DLE electronic ignition system — now able to handle voltages from 4.8V to 8.4V, with redesigned circuitry and software for improved idle and throttle transition.


Loaded With Extras
The DLE-55RA comes with many accessories that add to its value — including an electronic ignition system, engine standoffs, spark plug and muffler.


Rear Exhaust Design
The included muffler installs without cutting your cowl. Optional tuned pipes route easily from the rear of the engine directly into your model's tunnel.
