Ringmaster Engine Setup
« on: November 16, 2017, 09:49:42 AM »
Hi Guys,

 I am just about finished with a Ringmaster which will be powered by an FP 25. Question, what should the tank height be relative to the center line of the engine?  Second question, what is preferable, stock muffler or tongue muffler?

Thanks

Do a search on the FP 25 as well as the others.  Be prepared to read. D>K

Lots have had great results with a Uniflow tank 1/4 above centerline, a 9X4" APC prop spinning spiritedly, 58' lines, stock muffler.....
Have fun!

I strongly recommend the stock muffler.
