I started my first and only "green box" Nobler is 1972 and it took me years to get it in the air.  By that time mufflers were mandatory.

Back in the 1960's there were so many Top Flite Noblers with Fox 35 Stunts that people were sick of seeing "just another Nobler".  The addition of the weight and power loss of the muffler killed the deal for many of us.

The Nobler challenge of today is to get a muffled engine that will fly the plane as well as 6-ounce wide open Fox 35.

It is quiet and it is stronger that any Fox 35 - Cobra 2820/12.

My first Nobler was a Chrstmas present that didn't didn't arrive in time.  Folks were upset but the Nobler had just been advertised in the magazines.  I built it with a McCoy 35 Redhead for power.   Dad would launch for me .   I think I totaled it at City Park when the engine quit in a bad spot.   H^^
