My muffler bearings keep going out on me on my .40 engine, can anybody please advise me upon what I'm doing wrong?...........


Clean the inside of the muffler in a bucket of steam; then take about  six inches of chow line to dryout and polish the inside of the muffler (chowline is great for this kind of clean up and polish); and finally relube with true bearing grease available at your local US Navy surplus store...Caution...Don't use the relative bearing grease as it will not hold the bearings in their true position...

Alot of people just don't know the proper technique in getting their bearings straight in the first place! Crooked bearings are just inviting problems.


It's probably because they have always relied on unreliable relative bearings and get confused when they upgrade to the true bearing that are much more reliable in keeping your bearing straight....

Ya know, I have been having problems with my OS 32SX-H overheating, do you guys think it is the thermostat or it is a faulty radiator cap? Try asking a young guy at autozombie for a 65 VW Beetle radiator cap some time if you want a laugh.



Heli aye...I think you need a Tuned Immelman Glow Plug from one of the Pattern guys...I heard you can fly inverted with a heli all day long with that plug...Make sure it's the one with the 1/2 roll filament on top...

Hey wait a minute, I've went through chow lines and bearings is not what got cleaned out on me. But hey, I do believe you could substitute the bearings out of a bore evacuator from a M1 Abrahams. They look like the right size.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I seem to have a problem. After several flights today I found my plane extremely sensitive to control. I found on inspection the plane had become rather tail heavy due to an accumulation of propeller pitch all over the tail planes. I tried my usual plane cleaner on it but it wouldn't come off. Does anyone have a good cleaner for this stuff?



I love this forum...I like when I can give back what I have learned...

I had the same problem and a friend at the club had some gyroscopic solution..worked perfectly and my plane balanced right up...This stuff is so good, I cleaned the relative bearings and converted them to true bearings and very stable...My muffler is now perfect...

I like going to the restaurant and ordering a grilled cheese sandwich, hold the bread. Heehee


Oooohh, hehe, I can be kind of a stinker in a restaurant. You know when the hostess always asks you how many are in your party, especially when clearly, it's just two people? I've thrown many of them totally off guard when I blurted out 40, lol. They are immediately shocked, lol.

My latest one, we ordered something at Mc Donalds drive through, at the end of the order I told them that it was for here. You'll get some funny reactions with that one as well



I've gone to Burger King and asked for a Big Mac. When they said, "I'm sorry sir, this isn't McDonalds, it's Burger King"...I replied, "So are you saying I can't get it my way"...
