Hi Dave:
Used to fly with Nick Damuck at Windingbrook R/C in Rocky Hill, CT. He did in fact have a Magic Muffler style on the big Pattie. It had that Moose Can sound to it. I do have an original set of 15 size PP plans down on the shelf with Nick's business card still attached. He had them in several sizes. I believe that he did a 40 size also for himself. They always had that wild stripe paint scheme. The Patties would do wild long knife edges and always made alot of air noise coming off the rudder. A fun plane and a Good Guy to fly with. Nick came out to the R/C Propbusters field in Salem, CT last year or fall 2005 and brought the little Pattie with him. Still a head turner and good flying design and he never had a problem with the belly landings. I bet it would make a good electric if you lightened it up a bit and put a good outrunner onboard.
Peace
