DLE222 quad

[poprlite]

Hello to all

Well I finally decided to get a four cylinder to see what all the rave is about. My new 222 came a couple of weeks ago and before I get started building the plane its going on I have been trying to figure out a few things.

The airframe is 2.8m ultimate, so do I wanna use cans or pipes? Two blade or three blade prop? Two fuel tanks or one? Plus their is probably other things but I can't think of them at the moment and maybe some of you guys can pitch a couple of idea's at me.

Thanks

Sub, some day I'll have one of these baby's.

Definitely 2 tanks. You can tune your engine that way, against your fuel consumption.

I would also look into Bowman rings.

As for the others..... It just depends on how you want it to look and sound. Scale aerobatic airplanes are supposed to be noisy.

Never thought of that being a tuning aid using separate tanks. Bowman rings are definitely going to be installed. I have used them on all my latest engines and have great results with them.

I have Bowmans in 1 engine, an EME 120. It performs very well on WrongWayRC tuned pipes. I never ran the engine with the stock rings, so I have no comparison.

There are lots of 222s out there, and everyone seems to be happy with them.
