OS .55AX 90Degree muffler adapter
Hi:
There are many of us who received there 55AX over the weekend. Major question, what's the deal with the wording of ads saying 90 degree muffler adapter. We are all looking for adapter like the 1.20AX. Many on RCU want to know what's up (adapters-no need for expensive aftermarket mufflers). Missing part or goof in advertising? For the price it should be there. I'm not angry, just puzzled. BTW had .55 on test stand yesterday to break in. WOW fantastic engine. I have 2 of them.
FromTower ad AND other dealers!!
NOTES FROM OUR TECH DEPARTMENT
This is the O.S. Max 55 AX ABL Aircraft Engine with Muffler.
**Additional Technical Info Will Be Added When It Becomes Available.**
FEATURES: Same mounting dimensions as the O.S. Max 46 AX
Advanced Bi-Metallic Liner process uses a double layer of plating
material rather than one thick layer. This helps the metal bond to
the cylinder and makes the plating more durable. Also, the plating
process is more consistent, resulting in a more precise fit between
piston and sleeve for better compression and longer life.
Angular head design offers increased surface area for better cooling
Muffler includes straight and 90° adapters-no need for expensive
aftermarket mufflers
Ball bearing-supported crankshaft
40J carburetor with diagonally placed needle valve eliminating remote
needle valve placement
Two year limited warranty

RE: OS .55AX 90Degree muffler adapter
We answered this one in the General Engines forum, too.
O.S. originally was going to put in the adaptor, but they decided to not do so. Didn't say why.
The tech notes will be updated to reflect the engines as delivered.

And a more complete answer.......................
On the way home from the flying field (where I happened to be flying the new 55AX), my cell phone rang. It was about the 90degree adapter. (Hey, did they go to any lengths to track me down or what.) They wanted to verify my address to make sure the adapter was mailed to the right place.
Service? You betcha.
