UMMMM….How easily you forget! Do you even read what you type?
For a whiner who lives in a glass house, you sure like to stir the pot! LOL
Does it make you feel like a, “Big Man” to call people names? Asking for a friend.

There you go AGAIN assuming that I don’t know the definition of decibels. You and your boyfriend Astro really need to stop thinking that the two of you are smarter then anyone else. First off I know the tone difference between a muffled pipe and a non muffled pipe. If you would actually read and give my posts some thought instead of instantly trying to come up with something to debunk what I am saying you wouldn’t sound like such an idiot. The tone/pitch difference I hear in that video is the difference between muffled and non muffler pipe. There is no way in hell a non muffled pipe is going to make the 85DB that you originally claimed. Both of us have confirmed that NAMBA requires 95DB. A huge difference from what you originally stated. I do give you credit for correcting yourself though.
With that said, you are forgetting a few things that will also account for different exhaust pitches:
- How about we start out with different pipe lengths? A longer pipe will have a lower pitch
- How about we follow that with different nitro and oil contents? A higher nitro content requires a richer needle, lowering the pitch
- Now, what about head clearances? Does that matter? A shorter squish band will use less fuel and a shorter pipe, raising the pitch
- And what about boats that are set up to run leaner? Seems to me a richer running boat will be lower pitched than a leaner one
- Then again, the prop can't make that much of a difference, can it? A 1.6 pitch thrust prop should need a different needle setting than a 1.4 lifting prop due to a heavier load though the 1.4 will not have as much thrust due to a different blade shape that is optimized for lifting the hull

I also corrected the club requirements AS BEING 5DBS LOWER THAN WHAT NAMBA REQUIRES!!!!!!

Nice try there Water Boy, your buddies Frank and Astro ( whatever his name really is, maybe Frank Jr. for all we know ) may buy your crap but you and I know your supposed technical fun facts are fake.

- When did you become an expert on hydroplanes and marine two stroke engines?
- When have you actually raced a scale hydroplane?
- When was the last time you were at an R/C hydroplane race?
- Do you even know the difference between a 1.4 and a 1.6 prop?
- What is the rear wing on a hydroplane used for?
- Why is the rudder offset to one side instead of being centered on the transom?
- How deep is the prop normally set under the hull?
- What is the normal starting size of prop for a nitro scale hydroplane?
- Why do scale boats run clockwise and the full size boats anti-clockwise?

Remember that time you had the same attitude when you asked me when did I become a helicopter expert? Did you net get enough embarrassment from that? So to show you I know my way around a piped 2 stroke how about a couple pictures. The first is two seasons worth of pylon racing with a couple piped Rossi engines. The second picture is the carbon fiber pipes on my 3W 106 that a buddy and I designed last year. Those pipes boost power enough so that the 106 is able to spin a 26x12x3 to the tune of 7400 rpm.

Thank You Mongo, I appreciate you mentioning my post. At some point it's gotta stop being about what has happened in the past between fellow members here, and instead become about how our organization is putting out dangerously misleading information to our fellow members. To be sure, I stop short of accusing the AMA of intentionally disseminating incorrect info regarding the TFRs, for all I know the AMA leadership does actually believe Control Line is kosher during a TFR, when in reality all it took was a simple Email to the FAA for me to verify that it is, in fact, verbotten. I didn't ask about free flight, mostly because I live no where near the wide open spaces needed for that endeavor, but if a plane that physically can't ever be more than 100' AGL is subject to TFRs, I can't imagine something that will fly higher than that, and uncontrolled to boot, would be OK with the FAA either.
PS, Kudos to the FAA, I sent them my Email yesterday, and got my return answer today, I wish all correspondence could be so timely ! .......

Talk about Nero fiddling while Rome burned, here I have provided written proof that the AMA is putting out mistaken info, info that could cause some members a whole lotta grief someday, and all you guys want to do is run over and over the same old tired ground of the pissing contest between yourselves. This really ISN'T about the AMA with any of you, is it?!?!?! Whatever. I've done my part, and now I'm done here.

How does a series of questions on boats get answered with Rossi powered pylon racers and a 3W 106? Seems to me the scale boats run water cooled .65/.67 with a single tuned pipe. Your post would be like comparing a ZO6 Corvette to a Mustang GT, not answering any of the questions I asked, that is unless you can't answer them
The fact that regardless of what the engine is mounted on there are very small differences between marine 2 stroke and airplane 2 strokes. Since you think there is a significant difference tells me you lack knowledge. Not a big surprise as most advise you give in the airplane forums is often wrong. I once had a conversation with Terry Prather about his tuned pipes ( actually manufactured by Wally Mcalister ) and that the airplane pipes looked identical to the boat pipes. Terry assured me there was no difference. Your whole rich setting, lean setting BS was just that. Pipe tuning is dependent on one thing, rpm. High rpm is a short pipe, add more prop load and lower the rpm, lengthen the pipe.

There is a big difference. Let's start with RPM capability for one:
- You try running an OS .65AX at 20K and it will fly apart. My CMB .67 won't even blink since it can handle 28K.
- You try running your 106 at 20K, something my CMB 27cc gasser can do all day long, it will explode as well.

First off I would never own an OS 65AX. Compared to the engines OS used to make, the FX and AX series are junk. Your engines rev higher because they are ported to run that rpm, have needle bearing connecting rods and are tru ABC construction. Your able to run high nitro due to lower compression. All this is pretty basic info that you seem to think is rocket surgery ( not really a term, at least by those who have actually worked on rockets ). Now if you were to start explaining something like squash band contouring methods to increase fuel atomization or something other then simple tuning I may be convinced that like with you may have graduated out of the “ wannabe “ stage.

Face it Astro, we're never going to know as much as 'The Almighty Speed of the All Knowing AMA". A couple of trophies makes him the ultimate authority on anything R/C, even though he don't know crap about anything marine related. If I tried to tune a boat the way he thinks it should be tuned, it would never get up on plane.

Am I the only one who has B4UFLY on their phone? It was developed jointly by Aloft and the FAA. Of course you also need to use it for it to be effective.
Also it does come with a lot of warnings about how up-to-date the information is but mostly that is to protect the developers from lawyers trying to cash in on their clients bad decisions.

I followed the link above. This is a quote from that story: "A third senior staffer said, “It’s alarming and I’m sure traumatizing to Capitol Police officers and staff who had to consider that a plane was heading to the Capitol.”" So now we are on the hook to pay for the PTSD of all those Capital Police who were traumatized.

Staffers I understand, but If some Capitol Police crapped their pants due to an incoming aircraft they are more suited to delivering pizza than wearing a badge they signed up for.
