Tail pipe thickness
I have asked this question before but I have misplaced my paper with the specs on it! 
What are the wall thicknesses of the tailpies everyone is using? Do double wall pipes use the same thickness for both?
thanks again!

Tailpipe thickness
Jetset,
.007 seems to be pretty standard.
Double wall outer pipes are the same in most cases, although some are thinner, say .004 or so as the outer wall is for a cooling layer of air only.
The original BVM pipes were only .004, but would wrinkle with a hot start, so they are now a much stronger .007.
Many people prefer a single wall pipe with an outer cooling duct of .002 aluminum that is a part of the airframe (not attached to the pipe).
Take a look at the BVM Bandit, MiG, Raphale, T-3, etc. That's how they are layed out.

PIPE's
Myles, check out Tam's web site- http://tamjets.com/ IMHO Tam's tail pipe's are simply the best! Not exactly sure of pipe material specs. Hopfully Tam will chime in and answer some of your questions Myle's.
Its a shame Tams pipes are hidden away within our model.
His F15 bifurcated pipes, are amazing.... : )
Tam your an artist mate !

F15 PIPE PICS.
Here you go MEC, This is the bi-furcated pipe that Tam made for my Avonds 15...
As an interesting aside. I am aware of certain, if not all pipes restricting/decreasing out put thrust on our turbine engines. Tam has some experiment tests on this, on his site.... I am curious though! has there EVER been any record of increased thrust being achieved in any given pipe applications.....???
