Hi,

Today I run my DA 170 for the 1st time.....

RE3 tuned pipe whit 12 inch custom headers (to fit my ultimate) around 1/2 inch between headers and pipe.
32-1 penninzoil air cooled , needles on factory position
Vess 32-A
typical winter weather (mid 60's)

Very easy start (like a already used gas engine)
Then around 50 oz at low rpm (2000 2500) to verify that the headers and tuned pipes suppost works well..
Then few minutes to cool down (wasnt very warm anyway) and on the next tank just a quick shot (few second..) to the "high side" of the trottlle to verify how good this engine can run..
IT RUN VERY WELL!! 6200 on the tachometer....very impressive.
P.S. idle nice and low (around 1200)

Well Done Desert Aircraft.
