[NSRCA-discussion] OS exhaust

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

One way these designs could be easily handled is to build an access hatch on 
the balsa or composite pipe floor. The pipe could be mounted to the bottom of 
the fuse pipe tunnel rather than the pipe floor. 

Good luck with your Brio. Looks like a pretty fair flier

But with designs like the Brio and Vivat, aren't you limited to the inlet 
and/or stinger?  Access to the mid-pipe area is a problem on this type of 
airplane.

The only thing I could add to Nat's statement is that in my exhaust set-up 
the pipe is also soft mounted on a single Lord mount. Same location as Nat. Been 
doing that for at least the last 10 years and have never had a failure in any 
exhaust component in a 2 stroke powerplant. Really don't remember the last 
time a coupler blew either, but then again I don't fly as much as many do.

With soft mounted engines I have never had a header failure with a single 
pipe support placed about 1/2 to 1 inch behind the CG of the pipe/coupler.
