My apologies to those of you who use a classic pipe in the manner for which it was intended or those who came across a pipe in a good deal and think it just looks cool whether it does any good or not.

I'm currently, just a sport flyer and have no use for one. I'm around 3D some and know how the engines are used and know that a pipe is not functional on a glow powered 3D plane.

30 years ago we all flew our planes at WOT and the faster the better. In those days, a pipe would have made more sense to me.

I do like tuned mufflers and have several.

There are also pipes sold that have a "less peaky" performance increase and these may be useful for more of us than the old classic tuned pipe? These should be looked at more closely by many of us?

Enjoy

Jim
