I have had one of their fist planes a few years back and was amazed how it flew. Then I got the Addiction XL and again enjoyed the plane the best plane I have ever bought. Will buy the 61 next will always have one. This company knows how to build a plane and design it right.I think mine is 58". It's about 4 years old.

We had a guy with a DLE120 that lasted one flight. To get it started they had to use a starter. It was horribly lean but they flew it anyway at full throttle the whole time. About 8 minutes in he went into an long upline and that was it, locked up. He said it had RedLine in it, but the fuel was black and it stunk like a lawn mower. It turned over after it cooled off, but it was done for. This was his second one, he killed the first one to.Guy at our fun fly last weekend was starting his dle 170 with an electric starter. He had it on pipes and the tune and prop where way wrong for the engine. From 1/2-3/4 throttle the engine surged horribly and from 3/4-full throttle it prop ripped so bad that I was tempted to get out some ear plugs.
I bet he just stood there dumb faced and said that the oil was no good or DLE makes bad engines, and just cannot understand how this can happen to him.We had a guy with a DLE120 that lasted one flight.

There are just some people that can screw up an anvil with a tack hammer. There is a bean field on the west side of our field and he's been in it so much he should be paying the farmer rent.I bet he just stood there dumb faced and said that the oil was no good or DLE makes bad engines, and just cannot understand how this can happen to him.
