Dalton setup

[khedge]

anyone with a 42 or 35% dalton with tuned pipes or cans installed please post pictures of your install so I can get an idea of how to do my setup in it dalton I'm buildng. Also is anyone making a inclosed tunnel for the tuned pipes or can?

Here is my set up on a Dalton 300 that I had, I enclosed the tunnel but lately have seen people leaving them open with great success. The only thing I would do is vent the aft fuse. near the rudder. I'm just starting on another 42% 260 that will have Greves pipes without an enclosed tunnel.

Thanks for the great pics, I like the way you raised the floor for your electronics. When you say vent at the aft of the fuse I know you mean at the pipe exits, but also do u mean make a vent hole by were my tailwheel is. This is a 35% right. After looking at the pic I don't think it will be that hard to mount the pipes. I know greeves says to place the mounts for the pipes a 1mm from the end of the pipe, but do you have any additional mounting place for you pipes.

There are a number of threads with great pics on Dalton builds, here are a couple.

Yes, all the way back by the tail wheel, 3W did it on some of there large airplanes. My big fear is pressurizing the aft end of the fuselage (maybe its overkill) but I do like the idea of venting the rear of the plane since we are now putting remote Rx way back in the fuse. The pictured airplane is a Dalton 39% 300. On this plane I did not put any support up front, only in the aft as pictured. I never had any problems but on my next plane I will support the front end also.

Steve Ok, sounds good. Well I was thinking about making the tunnel like u talked about. Then make take a piece of 1/16 or 3/32 balsa and angle it where the pipes exit.
