    DA-70 and Plane Bender Smooth Pipes

    What are you planning to put it in ? The biggest challenge for most 60 cc size airframes will be trying to fit the 2 pipes into the tunnel. Most airframes have a tunnel designed for one can or 1 pipe off of a 60 single. Some airframe mfg's would need to rework their current designs...

    Tbrum and I are flying together tomorrow. Maybe I can get some video with the header length changes I did. Engine is much smoother still. If my buddy Andy or John are there. I will get one of them to fly while I video. They are both much better than me at slow 3D.

    Awesome Terry !!! Congrats :devil: I found the same thing with my CG. I just kept pushing it back until harriers were dead nuts solid. I pushed my batteries back under the turtle deck as far as I could and still easily remove them. (I don't like charging Lipos in the plane). Then added...

    Aerotech 55% extra 260 SORT OF BUILD THREAD ???

    Dr Evil, which gorilla glue are you using. This winter I tried some of the new "white" gorilla glue. Expands very evenly. Dries 4 times faster. When gluing leading and trailing edges, doesn't require any water. Works well with just the humidity in the air. But if you do spray some...

    DA-70 and Plane Bender Smooth Pipes

    I had some discussions with Dave Sullivan. We are both thinking the same thing. With the engine being 70 cc ' s. A regular mid size pipe like an RE-2 or ES 55 pipe are probably to small. To restrictive and not enough volume if using a 2 into 1 header. I can try an ES 55 pipe and an RE2 for...

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    Perfect :) As a side note. I use Stihl premium ( non synthetic ) for break in at about 35:1. After 5 to 10 liters of break in mix. I use iPone Samurai. 100% synthetic at 45:1 The iPone Samurai is rated to be able to be mixed from 50:1 to 100:1 like Amsoil. The oil is also...

    Hi Terry, We spoke about this the other day. Here are some photos of the cross bracing I did on the top of the motor box and bottom where the servo mounting plate is. The top carbon rods didn't stay attached. Not enough bonding area and have been replaced with with 3/8 balsa square stock...
