50cc size ARF ready for full tuned pipe?
Are there any 50cc sized ARF's that will accept a full length tuned pipe?
Thanks, Jamie |

The Aeroworks 50cc ARFs will. I'd like to do the Extra 260 with a DA 50 on an ES Composites tuned pipe.

The Yaks are out of stock and the 260's dont seem to have enough wing for the extra weight.

Re: 50cc size ARF ready for full tuned pipe?
there wouldn't be any reason to add the extra weight in the extra 260, because i have one w/ a DA 50 on stock muffs, and it is a rocket for a 50cc!

Re: 50cc size ARF ready for full tuned pipe?
I want to experiment with a tuned pipe on a Taurus 50. That WILL add weight to the plane.

Re: 50cc size ARF ready for full tuned pipe?
Look into the Wild Hare Extra 300. I know he put room for a canister and you may be able to do a tuned pipe since the wing tube would be higher. I'm not sure if you would run into any obstacles though. The wing area is also around 1360 sq. in. I think. I'm not sure what the Air Wild Extra 260, but it's another plane to look in to.

Re: 50cc size ARF ready for full tuned pipe?
The Ultra Yak does look awesome. As for the Aeroworks 260. I think that if you went with the composite pipe that Ben mentioned, the added weight would be minimal. If you went with a lightweight lipo setup for batteries, lightweight CF spinner, all CF stuff and the bare essentials of electronics, I think you could get away with 16.5 pounds or less, which wouldn't be too bad.

Re: 50cc size ARF ready for full tuned pipe?
How is the es pipe holding up to Gas engine heat? They don't hold up to the heat of a YS 140.

Re: 50cc size ARF ready for full tuned pipe?
The ES pipes are holding up well, I know of one setup on a DA 100 that has a hundred flights or more on it with no problems, and the guys running zdz 40s with them are happy campers as well.

Re: 50cc size ARF ready for full tuned pipe?
I suppose its all part of experiment, even if it adds a bit of weight. but I'm sure your not talking a lot of weight are you???? Roger
