6300 RPM with MTW tuned pipes and Mejlzlick 25x12x3. Perfect IMAC prop and very quiet.

Nice! What plane/weight? What is the pullout like if you chose to 3D, I know 3 blade is not ideal, but just interested.

how is the sound compared to greevs? on 100cc. i hurd the greevs dont sound that good but only offer good midrange and not much up top. do the ks or mtw sound better?? quite but a nice crisp sound. and another question. how long do the da's last befor the need a rebuild?

Hey guys I am ordering a new DA-100L and MTW pipes for it within the next few weeks. Question is with pipes during break in do I stick with the recommended 27x10 for break in or go right to a 28x10 because of the added boost?

if you are ordering already ask DA what they think. i would think using the 28/10 would be ok because of the added power of the pipes but they would know best. good luck with the pipes so far i love mine. using a mezjlik 26/12 prop.

28x10 Mejzlik will be fine for break-in.
Keep in mind, there is not much difference in load between the 27x10 and 28x10 Mejzliks.

im just running the same header lenth that comes from DA. i think it's 11" 6900 rpm. mark dennis at aeroworks says that prop load the same as a 28/10. i plan on trying one this summer to see.

11" to 12" works well with most typical 100cc props.

I used the stock header length DA sent me with RE 2s, and with a 26x12 mejlick In muncie about 70 degrees out I was getting 6900-7000. I haven't tached the 28x10 mej but it feels to me like it pulls a little bit harder. All on the 100L
