RE: 4-stroke engine for pattern
I'm with Jason. I've had 2 OS 1.40's and have run them on pipes and mufflers with equally good results. In fact the easiest set up is a muffler and a 17-10 or 17-12 prop. You don't have to worry about a tuned pipe and getting that set up correctly, just pretend it's a just a big OS 46.
