Default RE: 2-stroke or 4-stroke???

What mouse can do you like the best??(Brand name)
You can't select the can based on brand name or net ounces because they vary too much. That's why I listed the measurements of the can instead. Just make sure the can is seamless aluminum so it's light weight.


I'm gonna try a MCP on my OS .37 in my heli........maybe even my .28 monster truck.....
For the 28 you'll need to use the smaller mousse can listed in the instructions. (1.5" diameter by about 6" long)


I'm gonna go mousse can crazy!!!
Yep, once you see what a MCP can do, you'll never be satisfied with a stock muffler again.

I found a video link to one of my 3D spad planes that was powered by <insert drum roll here> a TT 42 GP w/MCP. The plane weighs 3.5 pounds dry, which should be very close to the dry weight of the Yankee Twister.

The TT engines are very good.....on par with OS in many cases, and superior in some (GP vs. LA).

BUT.....the TT factory must use anemic grannies with arthritis to assemble them because none of the screws, bolts, nuts, etc. are fully tightened when you get the engine. This can cause air leaks that will drive you crazy when trying to tune it. But the cure is simple. Before you ever run a TT for the first time, tighten everything. If it can come apart, tighten it. (head, backplate, carb, needle valve assembly, fuel nipple, etc.) The end result will be an engine that runs great.
