Steve,
Let me explain what I am trying to do:
I will compare 76 with Lite Header Muffler to 76 with Lite Header ONLY connected to the pipe.
Light Header Muffler I am getting from Dub Jett, will have the "Muffling Part" not attached and I will play with it myself.
Specifically, I will install the "Muffling Part" in such a way that it will be removable and properly sealed while in place.
Lite Header has OD=7/8" and the coupler I have will allow me to connect it to the Windy's pipe.
There will be a minute mismatch of diameters ( Windy's pipe inlet OD is greater than 3/4 but smaller than 7/8 ) though.
Will this affect anything? I do not know therefore I will check it.
Windy's pipe I have is primarily a muffler ( cylindrical aft part ) and I may benefit from simply not having it in my next, large model.
Instead, I may use 76 with Lite Header AND the Muffling Part installed.
Weight savings will be around three oz. and everything will be simpler. When the prop is selected, all I will have to do is to get 4 cycling on the launch and fly.
Regards,
Matt
