Here is one for you guys. I seen one fly at a pattern contest long ago.

Olympic bi plane model.Is it a Dan De Luca design?

Man, you wasn't suppose to tell so soon. I had the name on the tip of my tongue.(sure I did)

Ron

You have the designer's name right (Dan DeLuca).... but the name of the plane is wrong. I am pretty sure it is the one before the Olympic. I'll give you a hint though. The name starts with a "M", named after a certain "duck".

Mallard. How did I guess?

You got it! Mallard

What kindda muffler is he running?

Woops

I do not know the name of the muffler...but it is a flow through style. (open on the front)

I think the muffler was made by SEMCO.

How well does it work? I have one that I bought in a bunch of modeling junk.

Woops

Woops,

The last word in your sentence adequately describes the muffler. JUNK !! Not that I didn't like Semco mufflers, but the last thing they did was muffle anything. Honestly, I believe they were made just to appease those "muffler" rules at the field. I had one of their other models on a Skybolt, again just to say it had a muffler, and it actually increased engine performance. They are well made, and look cool, but don't really muffle a lot. Put it on an engine and find out for yourself. They made the muffler and then the fun part was finding the appropriate "adapter" to make it fit your engine. I think I've still got one somewhere... have to dig it out.

I'm flying my Tower .61 with the tuned muffler, but I'll have to take this one along to find out.Flying them back to back shouldn't be a problem.(as far as changing mufflers, I don't know about the noise)

Woops
