Default RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair


Thats great are the exit point assy's going to be separate or attached to the manifold?? what I found with my custom muffler exhaust side exit is part of the muffler and the right side is separate and attached to the fire wall with large blue silicon tube connecting, and I think that is why right side is about 3 db quitter.

They will be detachable from from the manifold and will have flex tubing passing through the firewall. Each flex tube will attach to a smaller canister that mounts to a hardpoint behind the firewall. These canisters support the exhaust stack assembly that crosses over behind the firewall and exits on the opposite side from the inbound flex tube from the manifold. At least that's how Kelvin described his design. Apparently he's already built one for a H9 Corsair so if that pilot is hanging around maybe he can chime in. I should have pictures in a week or so.
