extra 300

My Feedback: (3)

Hi guys,

Due to sound restriction in our area. i am bound to install canisters on my giant airplanes and would like to start with either my 40% Carden Extra 330S or Edge 540.

What brand would you most recommend? i heard about the Krumshied L-vision which looks like to be a good alternative but maybe not the cheapest.

Would very much appreciate your input/experience as well as guidance on how to proceed with the install.... Photos etc...

Thank you in advance

best regards,

I have tried both MTW and Pro Flow. The Pro Flow has a touch more top end power and better mid range transition. The MTW 110 was the benchmark for years and I am currently running a set of them in my 3M Extra. If cost was not an option ( I got the MTWs in a package deal with an engine ) I would be running the Pro Flows.

Speed, are you fairly knowledgeable with regards to canisters? If so I'd like to pick your brain via PM's.

Extra, my install is in a CARF Extra 330 and would be worlds different then the install you would do in a Carden. I can tell you that the best thing to do is keep things simple. For a mount all you really need to do is provide something something for the canister to rest against such as a peice of rubber mat attached to a fiberglass rod running across the fuselage. Then I use a band made from silicon glow fuel tube to secure the the canister to the mat. The rubber mat wraps around the canister about 1/4. You will also need to make sure you get some airflow across the canisters as they need cooling just as your engine does. Some people will make a compartment to house the canisters but as long as there is enough airflow I personally do not see this as nesessary.

Has anyone tried the MTW Knuckle headers on different brand canisters (i.e. not MTW canisters? ).

Thanks in advance,
