I'm new to your forum and to heli's.
I,m a little worried about using the standard muffler on my Raptor inside the century longranger fuse, It seems to be a bit close to the body, Is it likely to burn my fuselage or the paint? has anyone been there before? I don't want to use the scale muffler
after what I read in another part of this forum.

Thanks for the tip! I'll contact Starwood Models and see if I can get some. Sounds like it will be just the ticket.
cheers' Glen.

Better photo's coming soon. No it's not a century paint job, It's many hours of pain staking work I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the compliment, It's my first one, the next one I hope will be even better!
Cheers, Glen

The tail rotor is on the wrong side though
