Status: offline 		Got the whole article. What are you looking for? I can scan it in and email it to you but it would be a very large file due to all the advertising on the pages of RCM. You might not want all that emailed to you

Status: offline 		Hi, these pipes were designed by a chap by the name of Wally van Heeckeren who I knew when I as a member of the WRCS club in Sydney, Australia in the 80's. He was a jeweller by trade and a Canadian(I think) by nationality and was well respected for his craftsmanship, man he built some nice planes. I have one of the pre-production pipes, a one piece header/adjustable pipe for the old OS 40/45 fsr series. I saw one of the production model pipes on Ebay some months ago, the guy wanted USD20 for it, never made the reserve. I would try contacting the WRCS club (run a net search) and see if Wally is still around.

Status: offline 		I've got a couple of those pipes. Fun to play with.
I use one to let people feel the pressure wave of
the engine at different rpms so they understand
the idea behind tuning the pipe/header to the
rpm they want.
