Tongue Mufflers
« 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?

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I don't know who made that muffler or how old it is, but certainly the modeler deserves much credit for pulling it off.

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

"The modeler" was me, and if you look closely at the bottom picture you'll see that it's already cracking out -- that happened before it even got onto a plane.  I'll take credit for more than a lame joke when I actually make one that can be flown.

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
