    Da-35

    I concur. have to buy the header & pipe for no less than $250, vs the Jtec Pitts for $70.... I haven't heard of anyone using a Plane Blender 3D canister either. From what I have read, people would rather save weight and stick with the Pitts Muff. The ES pipe is light, but once you add the...

    vegasking: Since you have both... what is the noise reduction in comparison, and any noticeable performance loss/gain between the two?

    Build question - DA 35 to 71 slick

    I have a 71" slick with a DLE-35RA, Pull-Pull, A123 Battery (1100IGN, 2300RX) under the turtle deck, Throttle servo as far back as I could put it, One elevator servo, Dual Miracle Switch up front with fuel dot., and a 16oz fortitude fuel tank just in front of the tube (basically touching). When...

    Da-35

    Anybody running anything other than a JTec Pitts on the DA-35? I've seen video's of piped planes, and like the noise reduction. But it seems like everyone is going with the JTec Pitts... My DLE35RA is pretty loud with the stock muffler. I'm guessing that is because it just spits the exhaust out...

    Ha! Well you know how home depot calls their gift cards "Man Cards"... once you run out of money... you have to give it up HA! :facepalm: maybe it's that phycology they are after anyways?

    They may not look the best, but they are very practical!! I have a Snugtop Hi-liner on my F150 supercab with a 6.5' bed. Keeps your planes safe, dry, and they wont blow out of the back while cruising down the hwy. You could even put a piece of plywood over the bed rails and make a "two/split"...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    I was having a hard time with this myself. Still trying to figure out the best method. It really depends on what exhaust you are running and how you position the choke arm on the carb. I like the top photo personally, but might run a phenolic board instead of the aluminum. I still haven't...

    Has anyone ever used a 3s A123 with a voltage regulator to 7.4v? Seems like it would be a way to use HV for an A123 pack.

    DLE 35RA Muffler bolts

    Much better! I would even consider another 1/4" on either side of the exhaust pipes (outboard sides). It would even make it easier to take the clamps off the exhaust tubes, and get them away from the ign lead.

    RedwingRC Pin and Flag with Hidden Dual Battery Redundancy Switch!

    I like this idea. I could essentially make a redundant Rx setup with this, and add an RCEXEL Optio Kill Switch w/IBEC to get rid of the extra battery just for the IGN. It seems to me that a redundant LiPo setup for HV makes more sense than a redundant A123 due to their know reliability under...

    RedwingRC Pin and Flag with Hidden Dual Battery Redundancy Switch!

    So is this the Booma RC version? Or? http://www.boomarc.com/en/hidden-balance-switch-with-pin-flag Would this work as a battery redundancy for Ign & Rx for smaller 30cc planes? Or is that a no no and will cause interference?

    DLE 35RA Muffler bolts

    I would personally say that the outlet is too small in comparison to the openings. Will it work as is... probably. If you wanted to you could blank off the two cowling ears to help with the ratio. You should be able to fly the plane for a flight, put your finger on the nose of the crankcase...

    Can you upload a pic of the inlet too? It should work but maybe borderline small.

    DLE 35RA Muffler bolts

    It's a little tricky to get the right airflow with these rear exhaust engines unless you have a tunnel. I've seen people block out the forward cowl inlets to concentrate the inlet air just around the cylinder opening itself. Some have even re-directed the airflow but using small Dixie cups, and...

    Thanks for the kind words! The only reason it's been coming together so quick is that I am into the build pretty far already and am playing catch up. I'm about to plateau, because I have a few questions in the near future regarding batts, switches, and throttle linkages to come. and so true...

    DLE 35RA Muffler bolts

    This is what's great about forums... people who share their experience with each other without pointing fingers. I said "some throw away the gasket", I also said "the original bolts did not protrude out the casting" meaning that the bolts were not grabbing all of the threads. That's what I meant...
