Status: offline 		The smoke is not bad on it, but the heat is. It may melt at the muffler. I used it on a glow motor years ago, and had to make a 3" copper extension off of the muffler to keep the temp down.

Be another material
You could get some of this black tubing in the past
That did not melt at the muffler

Status: offline 		Yes, even more than fuel lines.
Smoke oils can make a huge mess if spilled
Inside fuses.
Make sure the covering is super solid
On the belly and rear stabs, if oil gets in there
It's a recover over oily wood, no good.
Hey Zachary, we agreed on something
Holy smokes..

Status: offline 		you prolly know already, but tap into the muffler close to the head exit. straight down or slightly away from the port, make sure your fitting is tapped nice and clean and secured with some sort of cured thread locker. Having it piss all inside your cowl is no fun either.
