    DA-70 Exhaust

    Maybe so. My experience tells me you need an individual pipe for each cylinder to see a performance gain. But being that both cylinders on twins fire at the same time the combined resonance could be effectively tuned with a single pipe and Y header. I'm intrigued none the less.

    I am currently working on a cheeseburger seed that can be grown year round. Let you know when I get it figured out and approved by the department of agriculture.:confused??:

    Header Tank pros and cons.

    The "vent tank" is a great idea! Thanks! I used a "header tank" on glow back in the day for two reasons... 1) Eliminate bubbles in the fuel. 2) Consistent engine runs with carbs not centered to the tank ( avoided lean outs). YS engines solved this anyway along with tetra tanks. Being gassers...

    Respect and the Power of Nothing

    Is it the compelling need for people to lash out these days? I have always liked the "If you have not anything nice to say then say nothing". Lot's of communication break down in the typed word because it is hard to show emotion and most of us are very passionate about our hobby and easily get...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    I was over a fresh field of peanut plants and a hard flare saved my plane. The guys ultimate was just at the edge of the field and darted hard in to the strip. My DA 120 was unharmed his went back to DA. Remarkably though the nose of the ultimate was the only thing that was destroyed. My 104...

    DA-70 Exhaust

    I am hoping someone will chime in with some performance with a 2 in to 1 and a large smooth pipe. There are a few pics on Dave's site @Planebender . Very interested in getting the header and pipe.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    lol...When I first flew my 104 I had the same attitude and then the engine quit running nose facing straight up and only air speed was in reverse. lol Never knew I could yell "Chit" so loud. My ignition cut off failed. Now a fellow with an Aero-works Ultimate did the same thing but he was...

    DA-70 2 into 1 Header Now Available!

    Truth be known....I have not seen any actual testing but the 70 on a large smooth pipe should do quite nicely on @Terryscustom Cap if I can get it built really light say 22 lbs or so. The DA 70 is pretty light but the pipe performance off setting the pound of weight gain and trying to keep a 35...

    Try heating it? Maybe a flat Xacto scrape to see if it will "pop" off?

    EME 55, Anyone Running One?

    Same guts as the DLE but a better 4 petal reed system. Older models had issues but all has been corrected. Personally I would opt for the 60 in a 50 cc airframe. If you have the EME 55 give Mike at Mile High a call with the serial # and he can maybe let you know if it has been updated.
