Hi Pete, and other engine guys,
I have one of the .72 CL Saito engines. It is going into a Strega. I would like it to be as quiet as possible, and keep as much of the mess off the plane as I can. I normally fly ECL, but I love 4 strokes and think they are allmost perfect for CL stunt, 2nd only to ECL. ;-)
Other than weight (I'm not worried about several extra oz.), and poor looks, Is there any "downside" to using one of the wrap around headers and a tuned pipe strapped to the bottom of the plane?
I am not looking for more power, I think it will have more than enough, just want it very quiet and clean as possible. ... TIA for any answers on this.
Regards,
