Hey all, I finally got my DNU back in the air this weekend. It has been sitting on my bench for probably 6 months waiting for me to finish the rebuild of the wing. I finally got it in the air but it was only for about a minute and a half. My little BW wasn't making any power. I have put on a fly quiet pipe I purchases and I'm thinking that I don't have it installed right, because before I put it on there, the DNU flew well, but now it barely flies.

Anyone have any suggestions with trying to get the engine pulling well with the pipe?

Thanks all in advance.

Make sure the slots are matching on the exhaust and that you "tuned" it by moving the pipe in enough. Sounds like you're using an ugly stik in the right manner! A shop hack/test bed.

Yeah, the DNU is really supposed to be my no hastle, fun flyer. But the troubles that the little BW gave me Friday when I tried for an hour to get it running and finally got it running and got 1.5 minutes of flight time. Was a little frustrating. It was sure fun however to see the little plane in the air again.

I'll have to spend some time this week, trying to get the engine running right. Unfortunatley I don't have a tack, so it is all by ear. We will have to see how it turns out.

I'll keep everyone updated.
