Title: Tongue Mufflers
Post by: Tim Wescott on April 27, 2013, 04:50:58 PM: Why is the control line community so ready to make airplanes that look perfectly real, yet when confronted with an engine component named after a body part they shy off and take refuge in cubism?

I could be wrong, but I don't think he drew it out first. n~

That's right Mike, they were popular in the late seventies to mid eighties. But when tune pipes came along, the Gene Simmons Tongue Muffler lost its popularity. They are quite the collectors item now, fetching big bucks on E-Bay.
I understand that they worked great on Fox .15's
