MTW Canisters on DA 100 in Carden Edge
Putting together a 35% Carden "baby" Edge.
I want to run canisters on the DA 100, DA only has the MTW cans in stock right now, NO KS canisters available. They're not sure if the MTW's will fit because they're kind of short and fat, also front exit.
Anyone running them in this aircraft ?
Sincerely,
Mike

RE: MTW Canisters on DA 100 in Carden Edge
I had the same problem last year when I built me carden 35%edge. You would have to cut the headers so short that the coupling would be right at the curved part of the header. I decided to go with regular mufflers and a mejzlik 28x10. This combo just passes IMAC noise restictions. Mine's 27.5 pounds with this conbo. If you want something quiet go with the airmodels 25x12 three blade prop. In my opinion you just don't need cans on a 100 cc engine, they're nice but not necesary

I have to say that it depends very much on the airplane but for a Carden edge the plusses are out weighed by the minuses for fitting cans.
