I turned on cookies LOL.
Fasst 2.4 Ghz 6 channel on 5 servo .50 Coroplast high wing plane.
A plane called a Coro wot is my current favorite RC Airplane, a SPAD.
I cut my stock Kingsmotorbile baffle too short.
First the break in.
Then all of the mods for reliability, also speed.
Finally the muffler.
POP POP POP Too LOUD.
I used an old scrap 1.5 inch 90 degree bend from an automobile exhaust repair.
Spad to the bone Musse can muffler was my starting point.
Jam on the 90 mark where to drill for a mounting screw.
Wad some aluminum screen material into the end of the pipe.
Drill for a 2.5 inch 14-20 mounting and screen retaining bolt.
Add some plumbers tape for a mounting strap.
No more POP .
Way too much speed. for me.
Bent rims, dented tank, broken headlight.
No more pedaling up some hills now.
I use partial throttle only now.
A mousse can muffller spreads out the powerband.
I really miss the mixture screws.
Kinda hard to do a pinch test when riding a spad type bike.
Bog! Bog! OMG!!! when the mix gets right.
Then taper the needle some more.
Too rich now !
Solder and redrill the jet.
Lather, Rinse , and Repeat.
I finally got it right.
Way too much work.
