Looking for any tips or comments on this engine. I'm looking to put one in a Great Planes CAP-580. What kind of mufflers are you using and what are the sound readings?

Keep 'em flyin'

I am running stock BME mufflers and they don't seem that loud, but then again I like em loud.
As for care and feeding. Use a quality oil, run it a tad rich for the first couple of gallons, baffle it well, treat it like any other gas engine out there and you will be rewarded with many hours of fun flying. That's until you plant it, but then you get to buy a new toy (plane) to play with.
If you have not purchased this engine yet, wait a month or so and the new 115 will be out.

Loud, hell. You're in heaven when the props rippin'. I've seen that look in your eye

The best noise in RC comes from a couple of 289cc Herbrandson powered Unlimited race planes coming across the runway at 220 mph, down on the deck and racing...Nothing else like it

I did not think it was that obvious

All those guy's wear ear protection, that takes all the fun out of it. What was that you said
