Thanks for the info. I have had the power discussion with Mark a couple of times. I thought about a 140 RX, then a 140 L, then came to my senses and realized that the only way to go would be a brand new 170DZ. That way I can fly current designs and have power to spare for the next ultra wide power hungry designes that are likely to come down the pike. I am just waiting for the 170s to hit the street and I am going to pick one up.

I love the ES pipe and already have it sitting on the shelf so my intention is to use it with the YS 170. It is too nice and too lite to just have it sitting around. I just wanted to see what the mods for mounting the longer pipe were. It doesn't look that bad. I will just extend the sheeting on the floor of the fuselage by another bay (wish I had done that before putting the top turtle deck on) and cut out and cap the bottom turtle deck as shown in the pictures.

Thanks again
Anthony
