Neo.........

The full pipe will work well. The Mac on-piece-muffler is a good product, but provides no boost.

A Jett-Stream or Ultra-Thrust muffler will bolt on, and give you a significant performance increase without any hassles.

(shown here on an OS46 - available for any engine)

Sean- Sounds good, have you ever flown a Whip or Dust with a Jett? Sounds like you would enjoy one...

I am working on a Delta wing spad, Should easily hit 100 when done,


25 inch wingspan 20 inches long and a 40 LA,
The possibilites are endless.

This weekend i am going to just go out and use it as a glider, because i have NOTHING else to fly.

Um... I don't know if it is me or what but nothing with a .40 LA should count as a speed bird[sm=surprised.gif]. Nothing against you PC, in fact if you got a turbine mounted on your avvy victim you would get my vote with a lite stick.

Keep in mind it isn't speed minded people. The brotherhood consists of freaks.[sm=bananahead.gif][sm=stupid.gif][sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
UUHMMM, those are my wife's kids.... yeah I had nothin to do with that.[sm=bananahead.gif]

Default RE: SPEED!!

"Hi, my name is Bob, and I am a Speed Plane Addict.
I have been a Lover of Speed Planes for 2years,
and with the help of the Revvers Brother-hood I hope to
make my planes even FASTER !!!

My screamers are:

A 40 Shrike, powered by an OS 40 LA turning an 10x8 prop. Maybe 100 mph, but I don't know. I've been going up in prop pitch, and I think the 10x8 is about it for Old Blue. Next year I'm going to put a 46 LA on it. That's probably about all it can stand without shedding the wings, as I didn't do anything special in the way of reinforcement.

A Jim Ryan P-38 Lightning powered by Astro 020s.

A Stinger pylon racer, powered by an Astro 020.

I'm currently building a 1/2A Shrike that will be powered by an Astro 020. It will be my "suitcase" airplane that I can take to remote job sites.

....Bob, it looks like you are well on your way to becoming an addict....
Revver Bro #123 is assigned to you....[sm=thumbup.gif]

Rev on, my Brothers....

I have a 1/2a Shrike with a Wasp 061 that is not all that fast, and when the engine quits, it drops like a rock. Got a buddy with the 1/2a with the Astro 020. Fast, and the greater control of electic allows you to make it back to the field under power. Let us know how it works out

Move the CoG backwards, it sure will glide better ;-)

OK....it looks like the enrollments are slowing down a bit. I guess the Guys
are out at the field tearing up the skies with fast planes.

I may have to initiate the "Special Incentive Program".

Naw it didn't blow up! That was the ejection charge shooting the motor out.

Don't know if this is fast enough but here's a pic of me at an airshow at the New Richmond, WI airport this past July where I was the warm-up act.

There's me with my Lyle Larson Dago Red Q40 with a Nelson Q40 engine. I flew for the crowd doing large loops along the flight line.

I didn't dare roll much, just do a fly- by, climb into a big loop let it go inverted and climb out and come back down over along the flight line.

Going somewhere between 180&200 MPH's in a big dive, otherwise it goes 175 on the straight and flat.
