Default RE: SAP 180 (Syssa Performance)

Hehe, thanks, it did come out pretty well, but there was a whole lotta cussin' during the process.

Yep, I've got a long way to go to tidy up the wires and figure out where everything will fit (read: ignition box!). Received in the mail today the Tech-Aero switch/regulators and they are beauts, very light and perfect for this application. Got a couple of FlightPower 800-mah 2S Lipos ordered for Rx/ingition. Using the Syssa IBE but didn't get that yet.

The next problem I don't know exactly how to handle is the header. With the right and down thrust of the engine, it exits in the pipe channel but nowhere near the middle where it can be easily connected to the ES pipe. So it is either going to have to be bent or, more likely, split between the exhaust flange and bend with a very short flexible coupler installed. Flexible coupler seems the easier way to go, which begs the question, what is used for a gasser exhaust coupler so close to the engine exhaust port??
