Barkai,

I have no personal experience with these Indian diesels but have heard and read that they are very nice.

Sharma engines are said to be well made, easy to use, and moderately powerful. I have no actual experience with them.

Any one that use those engine can compare them to the PAW ??

Thanks

I would assume that muffling them would be a pain. Are diesels quiet enough not to need a muffler?

The PAWs come with a really small muffler that works well just a thought

What for I need the muffler ????
Only for the noise ??

Most of the flying fields I fly at here in the Chicago area of the U.S. require mufflers. I have to drive about 50 miles to get to a field where I can fly with out a muffler. My unmuffled Oliver Jaguar and GB sideports turn about 5K to 6K with big props and are quiter than a sport .40 glow 2 stroke with a muffler. Jacki

I would definitely want a muffler on the RC version of the Sharma 1.5cc.


I have a nice size retention pond about six hundred feet from my house and it is bordered by houses.

If I were to fly something like a Lazy-Bee on floats, a muffler is a must to not annoy the neighbors.

Since this Sharma looks similar to an Oliver or PAW, the same style ring type muffler would be the way to go.

FOLLOW-UP.

I contacted the Sharma factory and they are working on a muffler design.

If this is a good runner, with RC carb and muffler, it should have a place with the small field group.

I prefer a 1.5cc to an .049 because they are usually not as temperamental, you can use a larger prop to hold the noise down and they fly a model that is only slightly larger than 1/2A. Many 1/2 A models actually include the .09 or 1.5cc as an option.

Does anyone know how much these engines cost?
