DL50 or 3MM-50cc for GP Pitts Special
Trying to figure out which way to go between the DL50 or the 3MM-53cc for the GP Pitts. At the present it is flying nice with a US41cc but definately feel a weight reduction and power increase is in order. My major concern with the DL50 is that the mounting lugs look to be rather weak.

Thanx for ur reply. I have just ordered the 3MM, even though this engine and others like it have caused such a fuss throughout this site. Just imagine a world where nothing was copied, changed or improved. One make of car, One make of aeroplane, One make of TV, One make of BBQ and One FORUM etc etc etc...

Yea, but imagine all the women to be absolutely perfect in build and disposition with the only options available being hair color

Yeah but most of the fun is trying them out before you settle on Miss Right
But it can be expensive - ask me how I know [

Both engines have their advantages. The DL is turning out to be a well manufactured engine, with a re-designed reed valve from what the DA 50 has. Different carb, too. The two engines share some distinct similarities. This makes for an engine with a nice transition and mid range. I have a three bearing engine in the Taurus 3.2. Exceptionally smooth running for a single.
Between the DL and 3mm the only decision you have to make is how much do you want to spend and how much does it need to weigh.
