DLE 130cc Twin Cylinder Gas Engine (DLE130) – 13HP RC Airplane Engine

The DLE 130cc Twin Cylinder Gas Engine (DLE130) is a high-performance engine launched in December 2019 for giant-scale RC aircraft. Delivering 13 horsepower at 8,500 RPM, this two-cylinder, two-stroke powerhouse provides exceptional thrust, smooth operation, and long-term reliability.

Built with a 130cm³ displacement, 47mm × 37.5mm bore and stroke, and a 9.2:1 compression ratio, the DLE130 balances strength and efficiency for aerobatic and scale aircraft alike. Its twin-cylinder design reduces vibration compared to single-cylinder engines, preserving airframes and improving flight smoothness.

The DLE130 is equipped with DLE CM6 spark plugs and a modern electronic ignition system (4.8V–12V) for reliable starting and consistent operation. Weighing 2500g for the main engine, plus 350g for the exhaust system and 190g for the ignition unit, it offers a competitive power-to-weight ratio in the large-scale category.

Static thrust performance reaches 28.5kg at 100m altitude and 24.5kg at 1800m altitude, ensuring strong pull even in high-altitude conditions. Recommended propellers include 27x12, 28x10, 28x11, and 29x9, giving pilots flexibility to tailor performance for aerobatic or endurance flying.

This engine is designed to run on 92-octane (or higher) unleaded gasoline mixed with oil at a 30:1 ratio. For reliability, always use the same brand of high-quality oil—mixing lubricants from different manufacturers can cause carburetor blockage.

For maximum safety and durability, install using thread-locking adhesive (Loctite 242/243), follow proper break-in procedures, and confirm all hardware and mounts are secure before every flight.
