Probably going to go with the MTW RE3 pipes and I ordered the mounts from Tony as well. I don't know if I'm going to go with a DA 150 or 170. If I can find a good deal on the 150, I'm not opposed to going that route. I may also try an EVO 150 since there's going to be a dealer and service in the US. Of course, I'm going to have to see what people say about them first.

If you can wait a couple of weeks I'll show you what a Mel with a DA 150 with KS 1090 pipes does with a Dalton. I have the tail parts you need> I'll send you a pm on the cost and shipping. Rob

How much more do does the DA 150 / KS 1090 pipe combo weight compared to the DA-170 RE'3 combo.

Would there be problem with the plane balancing with the pipes?

What weight are you shooting for?

Are you building it for IMAC, 3-D, or both?
