Install the Canister Mufflers
(DA-100 only)
This section covers the installation of the optional MTW
short canister exhaust system for the DA-100 . This airplane
was designed around this particular system, but other
short canisters may fit . As is, the model will accommodate
twin 70mm diameter cans whose can lengths are no
longer than 250mm .
As a word of caution, canister style exhaust must not
be considered maintenance free . Periodic inspection is
required (especially after the first few runs and flights) . The
sixteen silicone supports must be replaced when heat has
deteriorated them . Also, the cans should be removed from
time to time to check the surrounding wood support and box
structure for damage, failed glue joints, and dry or charred
wood . For a more maintenance free system, please use the
standard mufflers for your DA-100 .
o 1 . Inspect the silicone supports and replace any that
appear damaged, loose, or are otherwise unusable . These
can be replaced by using any standard silicone glow fuel line .
o 2 . Fit the canister into one of the fuse supports . Slide
it all the way back until it stops, and then slide it forward
about 1-1/2" [38mm] so that the end of the front pipe is 1/2"
[12 .7mm] forward of the firewall face . Do the same for the
other canister .
