Ok just figured it out,,i found some 3/4 tubing I had,,it's kind of big but it's the only thing I had arround and it works..

If I could ask a favor, what is the diameter and the length of your canister?


I thin kthe DIA is a bit less than 3'' and lengh 9'',,one thing it's a bit heavier than the Slimline Pitts muffler I heard a guy saying it was only 3oz,,but it's more like 6oz 1/8.

Status: offline 		To be honest I hung the plane on a Berkley Digital Fish scale to weigh it. I'm sure it's not the most reliable but close enough for the way I fly! LOL BTW Did I say GREAT PLANE TOM!!!! I love this bird.

I had to scales togeather and they cant be wrong!!! one it's a anolog or whatever they are called,,you know with the needle kind of scale and then I have the Digital Fish scale and they both say the same weight!!!

17lb 11oz with the canister and empty fuel tank ready to fly. so I guess with the slimline pitts muffler would have been 17lb 6oz about the same as Redeneck Shawn.

always my planes come out heavier than advertised and everyone else,, but I probably added like 3oz of thin CA and 1 or 2 of paint.

It's still lighter than my old one but I really thoug it would have come out at less than 17 or at least 17 even.,,well not too bad.

Question I did start it today for the first time to test the canisters and I found I was running the engine too lean I guess,,casue I had to richen the high neddle like 1 or more turns to make it run good.

Is that normal when switching from a Pitts to a canisters????
