       Mark,
       keep a very close eye on the exhaust pipes. looks like they are
       welded solid. My previous pipes were like that and most of the
       welds cracked in 2 hours of flying. My new setup has slip joints
       wherever possible, and are fine for the last 15 hrs.

       Good point Buly.
