Status: offline 		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?
Daniel

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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.
