Default RE: Finished My GP Eagle 580

The rule of thumb is to make the exhaust/outlet about 3x the inlet area. If that inlet in front of your engine head is about 1.5 sq inches, you need about 4.5 sq inches outlet. SOmetimes 3x is hard to get, and I settle for maybe 2x or a bit more. It's worked for me. Your plane looks nice!
