The flex pipe broke on me today. POS. There was maybe 10º of deflection in it. Not like I was making a right angle with it or anything. Only ran it about 6 times. 44 dollars.


In an earlier post I said w/a flex pipe you need to anchor it near the end to keep it from vibrating [metal fatigue]. Put some kind of heatproof rubber around it & use an adel clamp [Lowe's has them.] I have seen two break when not anchored.

Status: offline 		Mike, this is the difference between the Horizon 90 and the RCSpecialties 90, the RCS being the compact one, I am not trying to be a salesman and I'm net even sure Jim makes the 13mm 90 yet. This is the 14mm one.

Status: offline 		Mike- are you getting a lot of visible smoke in your exhaust when you run the engine? Those are low numbers. The first thing I would look at would be for rich settings, especially on the low end.

Status: offline 		Mike, I tried to come up with some comparable props for my 1.25 to get some numbers, I don't have very many APCs as I don't fly them.
Saito 1.25/stock exhaust
WildCat 15% fuel with 18% 80/20 blend
Fox Miracle plug

MasterAirscrew Classic 16x6===9,450 rpm
MasterAirscrew K 15x8======8,975
Graupner 15x8===========8,795

And, just for kicks
Enya 1.20 GP
WildCat 5% fuel with 16% lube and 3 oz of castor added
Enya #3 plug
Graupner 15x8======9,050 rpm, not too shabby for 5% nitro.
