Hey guys,

Ran the new setup tonight just before dark. The new little baby smoke pump works absolutely perfectly! Unfortunately, it was too dark to get any pictures; maybe tomorrow if I have time. I'll go ahead and post some pics of my homemade smoke muffler now.

Couldn't get any real numbers on the engine yet as it was getting dark and I didn't have enough time to really tune and play with it, forget put some running time on it to let it settle in a bit. (I'm trying not to be disappointed because the only number I was able to get was a quick 8300 rpms on an APC 17 x 8. I expected to see something like 9000 with that prop, but maybe I'm not being realistic, especially at this altitude, and with no tuning efforts.)

Here's some muffler pics, it works super...
