You need to pack up that Rascal of yours and head my way for the BIG Rascal 110 Fly-in on the 25th & 26th of this month. I've already counted about 20 110's that should be here. You might even be able to take an extra Rascal 110 home with you as we have a 110 as one of the raffle prices. We'll be serving breakfast and lunch. Can't wait for this event.

You don't know how much I would love to (forecast for my days off 15-20 mph gusts to 35), but it wouldn't fit in my work schedule...

Originally tacked 7500rpm but without needel change it's now turning 8000rpm. Who knows after some more running it might pick up a couple hundred more (Xoar 18x6) All for now ....Jim

Wow, today I thought my engine was broken and I was going to need to send it back for repairs. It took three flips to get it started! Maybe the 100+ degree heat was getting to me and I wasn't flipping it over as hard as usual.

I slowed down quite a lot on my flying last month; only went through two gallons of gas. Having five doctors appointments and two eye surgeries took a toll on my flying. Got a good start this month, got in four good flights with nothing coming loose or falling off today.

Grey Permatex should be used between the muffler and the head to form a gasket.

It is best to use green Locktite on the small screws to hold the back of the muffler in place.

Status: offline 		Well I finally recieved my second syssa today, I ordered late June so it took a while. It has the new style muffler which looks good and I also got a few things I didn't expect....Todd threw the muffler sound inserts in the box as well as his cdi mount. I did not order these items so was pleasently surprised to find them. I was a little choked that it took so long but in the end well worth it. The guy makes a quality engine and I'm really looking forward to seeing how they work in the air. I have to admit I was alittle nervous when I didn;t get responses to emails and phone calls, but my story has a happy ending. I just wanted to let everyone know.

I never had the guts to build a twin, saw too many of them that had control problems when one engine quit. I think I would try to shut down the other engine too and just treat it like any other dead-stick landing. My GSS has survived several of those with very little damage.

Why not just get the $4 assortment of gasket material sheets at your local ACE & cut out a gasket out of one of the thinner pieces of stock, or even a thin sheet of Alum that you could cut w/a hobby knife?

Status: offline 		Hi Guys,

I just put the New Style CNC muffler on my Syssa, and I took a few photos. I knew you guys in this Syssa thread would want to see it up close. Liked the hex-head bolts. Didn't like that there were no Nord-Locks with it. I used Ultra Copper sealant for the seal between the engine and the muffler, and the Permatex Hi-Temp LockTite # 27200 (I think) for the bolts. Cleaned the threads out with a 10-32 tap, Acetone, and then spray alcohol to make sure there was no grease left in them. There are a TON of those little bolts for the back plate. Hard to get to some of them, I was tempted more than once to remove the engine to install this. Do I think it's going to work well?

Yes.

I'll let you know!

~ Jim ~

Status: offline 		This is the GP Giant Super Sportster. What a beautiful plane. I love it.

Today I'm installing the New muffler in my GP Super Stearman Bipe. A full inch less clearance behind this engine, so I'm giving some thought to yanking the engine for easier access.

I said above that I thought this would work well. That's because of the engineering on it, and the fact that having to do this much work to put a muffler on means that it wouldn't have been designed this way, unless it stood the best chance of lasting long-term.

Engineer's logic. But the structural premises are sound. No matter. Time will tell what nobody can know now.

Status: offline 		The Nord-Locks are not required with this muffler. Just bend the tabs up against the face of the bolts, they won't rotate due to vibration. We used that principle on the "Jesus-nut" to hold the rotor blades on a helicopter, it works great.
