<DIV>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. </DIV>

<DIV>The only thing I could add to Nat's statement is that in my exhaust set-up the pipe is also <U>soft mounted</U> 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.</DIV>

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.
