RE: 35% Extra 260 on tuned pipes thread
Hi guys
I am doing the holes in the wings for the ailerons servos but there is only 1/4''x1/2'' brasswood included in the kit. I plan to use 2x JR8411/ailerons.
May i use only 2'' long brasswood or should i built servo boxes with plywood for the servos?

Hi Bob
Yes i am going to tune it for Mejzlick 28x18. I have an eye in Advance (IMAC) for 2008 and i need the maxium power i can get for the long vertical uplines/snaps. Like i already said, we need more power for IMAC than 3D. The MTW tuned pipes cost is about the same of the cans without weight penalty but a lot more power and less noise.

The litle syringue was very useful for the sheeting. Not so bad for my first sheeting experience

Yeah, i meant 28x10.
I would like to have a plane with more than enough power to do all that i want, whatever the condtions hot/cold. Everytime i ask recommendations to engine manufacturer about exausts, they propose ''tuned pipes'' for better throtle response, noise, and power.

Stay tuned for the final round
The CF wing tube for 33% WH 260 fits perfectly with the Carden 35%!

Hi Scoubidou
I'm about to start building the same kit. Have not decided engine/exhaust solution yet.
Do you know where your CG ends with the pipes?

RE: 35% Extra 260 on tuned pipes thread
I will get that information next week. My plane is covered and i am installing the electronics
From what i have seen, the plane is nose heavy and the tuned pipes will help to balance the CG.
