Status: offline 		I just finished my "Corvette" (Old School) sport pattern plane 72" wingspan with an OS .61FX with a Mac Pretuned Pipe on the business end. My question is, the pipe did not come with a presure fitting or anywhere on the pipe indicating where it might go. could someone tell me where would be the best place to put it and since the wall is so thin, how to secure it.

Drill the right hole and thread it with a tapl I added some blue RTV sealant to the fitting threads and base. There is a composite washer, make sure you get that on there as well. best if you add the RTV and thread in down onto the pipe barely finger tight then the next day snug it down tight and that will help form a better silicone gasket. Also, I think they have the directions for placement on the Mac's site
