Have at it Finn!  I'll be working on my muffler.  If you recall, Tracy welded the disks I have stuck in the 3" tubes onto the 5/16" rod that I use to keep a disk at each end of the muffler.  Well, apparently the new (more powerful?) engine has done them in.  The end of the rod with is not back to the end of the tube and only my squeezed down fish tail has kept it retained - so that means the two  1/8" thick stainless Steel disks have been destroyed.

I sure am curoius about the price of their cheapest unit.

I'm fairly sure I could make something similar for about $50 to $100 in parts.

Obviously they would want to get paid for all the time they put into programming and development.

I any case, I'm sure Ed will beat me to it, so I might as well drop it :)

You might want to download some of the manuals from the ACES website, there they specify the capabilities.
I believe the 1717 model is the simplest they make - as far as I know it is no good for helicopters, but does engines and props.

Do you think there would be a market for a $200 - $300 unit for homebuilts?
