yeh it has a vent on the front left and an exit on the back rear towards the bottom, works well, in fact they talked me out of a roof vent saying you dont need it and it may leak eventually, ...the one on the back side is low like i said, it has that same cover over the screen but facing the other way, one of the guys at the field said it looked like jato assist

Roses usually do the trick.



Keep us posted on the build.

Need help Guys,

 Has anyone taken Decibel readings with a 100cc and carbon fiber pipes? Or any exhaust or engine combo in that matter.  Ready to take the plunge finally and I figured I would ask before I drop the money. For once I am actually thinking ahead....  Thanks for any help.

Doug,

Sorry to hear about your plane. I really hope you get another. You know you will miss it.

Never checked it with the ESComposites when I had them on the plane but it was nice and quite. Just my 2 cents but stay away from thise pipes if you wanna huck your plane. They are great for full throttle but the midrange really, really sucks. I heard the RE2's will work better or just a set of cans.

The plane flies great on mufflerswith a Vess 27Aand has plenty of pull out.

vfalcon7

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think it is louder than a DA50 with a canister?

Rush7

My Feedback: (74)

Yes it is louder than a DA 50 on a can. Trust me when I tell you will never have a good transition on those pipes.

vfalcon7

I do have sound issues that I am trying to work around. I will listen to anyone that has a quite setup. I definately want a smooth transition. I do not want to sacrifice performance to much.

How about a DA85 on a pipe or cans? I hear their spinning a 28x10 prop and putting out DA100 power..

Like I said earlier. I think that the MTW RE2 pipes are the way to go if you have to use pipes. Lee (mxcop) has been have really great luck with his DA 100 on MTW RE2 pipes.

I have a DA 50 with an MTW RE2 on an EF Extra and I had very good luck tuning the pipe and have very little throttle curve. The engine has a smooth transition and very mangable while hucking it around. 
I found that with the ES Composite pipes that I never good get the peakiness tuned out. No matter if I shorten or legnthed the setup the pipes were always peaking right at half throttle were I wanted to hover the plane. It made my plane look like it was on a pogo stick and I was always on and off the throttle. It just made the plane no fun to fly. I put the mufflers back on it changeds from the Vess 28A to the Vess 27A and have been smiling from ear to ear ever since.

I did not just try the pipes for a while and give up on them. I put almost a year of research and effort into getting the pipes to tune. I tried everything and it seemed that it had no effect at all. With that being said it took me three trips to the airfield to have the RE2 on the DA 50 dialed in.

Like xtraflyer said the DA 85 on the MTW RE3 pipes has been getting some really good feedback. I just like the twins better.

Rush7,

Ihave the RE2's and ES55Gs.

The RE2s where easy to set as there is loads of info for them on motors like the DA100......and MTW make headersspecificallycut to length for them.

The ES pipes are a different matteraltogether. It was not easy to find good info. I ended up taking the motor, in this case a BME116, out of the plane and spent about 8 hours on a bench playing with props and different header lengths.

All pipes have a point where they come into resonance and if your planesweightis such that with the prop you are using, it is just coming into resonance at your hovering RPM, the throttle will get very sensitive. The cure for this is to change props, or lengthen the headersso the pipe is less in transition and more "on".

Can Iask what header length you where using?

Best,

Branwell

im using stock mufflers, but i thought i heard that cans are better than pipes as far as transition, they are not like a long tuned pipe, plus i heard the do perform better than stock mufflers because you use a header which flows better, anyway i think id look into cans(in fuse silencers some call them) before id look at a tuned pipe, but i have no experience 1st hand just going by what ive seen at my field and heard from others, i could be wrong on all my info

vfalcon7

Once again, you guys could not be better. I really appreciate the great information.

If you want a super quiet plane run a set of pipes on a DA-100 with a Mejzlik 25x12S Three blade. With my greeve pipes it is quiet enough you can hear the sound of the air rushing over the airframe. My Mejzlik 28x10 will bark some at full power. Transition is great with the greeves also. It would be hard to go wrong with greeve or mtw pipes.

Ibought a 110 from Tim Fulk a few weeks ago and plan to camp out at the field this weekend

Be sure to film it when you release the monster.

Here is a little footage of my 110taken at our fly-in.

is that other yak and sd? what size? btw very funny when the extra hovered over it, surfaces moving, lol

cjcyclesrc

My Feedback: (10)

Yes. It's a 37.5%. We do that all the time. I followed him in and hovered over hisplanewhen he landed. We have flown together for a long time and are very comfortable with each others flying. Another one of my friends has a 88" Extra and we will do formation take offs and landings. It's pretty cool to see both planes come in and land together.

i fly my 110 with my other buddies 88 sometimes, we did some close hovering too, it was realy cool, if i drift out away a tad, they look the same size...i dont go to his field that often though, its further and im not fond of the crowds there, my field is further for him as well...anyway i have the 33% sd and i love it, thats why i was curious about that one, looks like a good flyer, if i could afford it id love to get the 40% one
