Guys,
I am looking to make some $$ making exhaust systems for turbines, including fixed wing. Keep me in mind please. Here is a link to some of my learning.

Chris,
Well lets just say less than Tam. A little early yet to say as I haven't made any aircraft pipes. Custom one time stuff probably $35 and hour plus the stainless. Straight is much less than turns or bifurcations. Oh yeah, every pipe includes the price of a box of bandaids for me. :wink:

Jack,
First of all, I only got to speak to Greg for, maybe a minute, tops, but did pass along your hello. That guy was busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest with his camera ships.
I have a very definite and distinct interest in your products. If you get the time, take a look at my Turben and, then, imagine putting those Benzine works into an Airwolf. Then plan on building me an exhaust system for the Wolf. The low mounted turbine exhaust system is the biggest problem I have to overcome. Phil and Giff over at Hobbyparts.com may have started in the right direction by removing the stock Wren exhaust and substituting a "T" with straight, but shorter pipes out the side that could be used for connecting a bifurcated system and my initial impression is that maybe a flexi-duct system would work.
Let me know what you think.

Doc,
I would have to envision this, and at this time I just cant even imagine. I hear the uncoupled turbines have less exhaust....somehow I find that hard to believe. I need some info from wren I guess, but Doc, I would have to have the model and the turbine with the fadec to make you one. Something like that, is a one piece at a time challenge and I would want to make sure it didn't overheat....I made 3 for mine before I got it right. Wouldn't be wanting to ship the thing back and forth all over the country now would we?
