    DLE 170 Exhaust Help

    I believe I was told around 40. Last weekend when I maidened it for my friend, I picked it up, (the best I could...LOL) and then did so with my 260. I know for a fact my 260 comes in just shy of 42 lbs. with no fuel. His just seemed lighter. So to answer your question? I am going to guess, less...

    Roto Flow fuel tank

    I was wondering about the ethanol fuel. It seems like a bit of a "pita" to drive 12 miles to get my 90 octane non ethanol fuel. But I see the difference in how my motors run as opposed to some of the other guys. I didn't think it would make much difference at first, yet I do now. Maybe that is...

    DLE 170 Exhaust Help

    If you're talking about the GP 38% Extra, it has plenty of cahonies. Flies pretty good. But not enough control for me. The previous and now new owner has not put much throw in the surfaces. My 260 with the 3dub is awrsome though. Can't wait till the Sukhoi is done.

    Yeah...the Blue Thrush shows really nicely. Another friend has the 42% Sbach in blue Thrush. It really shows great. Purple and Black, not so much.

    Knife edge spin.

    That works too. I usually roll in full right Aileron and exit inverted flat spin or continue until upright and fly out straight and level.

    Yeah... weird huh? I think my SD 260 is probably about the same age or maybe older than the GP. It has an awesome can tunnel.

    Roto Flow fuel tank

    Actually, no...I've never flown full scale aerobatics. I'm pretty sure I said "G" force and not referencing neither positive or negative. That being said, after viewing the video....it seems all information I have ever read or been told goes right out the tail pipe with the exhaust. I actually...

    Been working on my harriers... Question.

    A friend of mine uses an 11X with some really blinged up knob extensions that are like finger rest pads at the top. He really likes them and he is also a thumber. He is quite the pilot as he has competed and won some competitions. Any one else using anything like this? How is it working out for you?

    Dave; Will do.... Was planning on giving you a call as it is. As for the inserts from TBM, Those are the ones I suggested to my friend, however TBM said they could not say whether they would or would not fit. Thank you all for your input.

    Knife edge spin.

    Yeeeah..... I am not sure this old heart can take the altitude in which he pulls them out. He tells me he gets hypnotized by them. LOL.... I need to get some pictures of him doing them. I on the other hand....let mine spin about four or five complete rev's. and pull out.... Haa haa.... Guess I...

    DLE 170 Exhaust Help

    Calling all DLE 170 owners. My friend has a DLE 170 on his 38% Great Planes Extra. Incredibly deafening. Bleeding ears to say the least. This plane does not have the availability for cans as there is no tunnel. ???? Not sure why GP did that, but it is what it is. Any of you used the silencers...
