DLE 20 With an ES Composites Tuned Pipe
My next project is an [link=http://www.valleyviewrc.com/Yak%2054%20Pro%20SD%20Model.htm]SD Models Yak Pro from VVRC[/link] with a DLE 20, ES Composites carbon fiber tuned pipe with a Macs 2986 header. I've got and have had several glow engines with tuned pipes but this is my first time doing this to a gas engine. I'd like to turn a Vess 18x6 the same/more RPM on a pipe as the DLE 20 will turn a Vess 17x6 on the stock muffler. Do you think that is possible? Any tuning tricks you can recommend would be appreciated.
Secondly, I'm hoping for a huge noise reduction as well. My DLE 20 on a Jtec Pitts is really close to being too loud to fly at our field.

Yea, like I said in my original post, I'm going to use a 2986 header like you describe above. Should be a fun project. I should have everything I need in a week or so. I was hoping I wasn't the first one to try this and someone else had some information that they would like to share.

Karol,
Is that a Giant Big Stick that you have your G-20 mounted on?
Give us some details about the can like does the pipe extend inside the can etc?

Well, if the heat isn't melting that zip tie, it won't melt Alumiweld either.

Plane, engine and servos (Power HD DSM090M) came in today. Opto kill came in yesterday and the only thing left is the header. I'll start the plane build this weekend.
