140RX Exhaust setup

[Anthony Romano]

Hi Scott,
I am running around 25 1/2" to  the baffle on the shorty ES pipe. Don't know 
the overal length but it just fits in my Hydeaway. I cut the Mac's header a 
few inches after the bend and then used a piece of an old Al wing tube to 
give the extra. Had two pieces of the Aerotrend coupler and zip ties. Held 
up over three hundred flights now playing with the Macmaster-Carr teflon.

Whatcha buildin'?
