Output is a top tier 3.7 horsepower at 8,500 rpm with an engine weight of only two pounds. It also comes with a rear mounted pumper carb that makes installation easier, idles smoothly, and delivers consistent fuel flow during flight. For convenience and power in quarter scale models, trust the DLE-30.
