Hey! This "stupid" thing is going out of its proportions! Someone is touchy, others not... I actually also speak Norwegian. The ones that come from Jutland speaks Danish!
but I'm not offended...
This is ruining a very good thread about silencing those noisy gassers.
I'm also having a "noisy" 52cc gasser, and looking at good solutions to eliminate this problem. I've ordered a tuned pipe, actually designed for my 120AX, but I will test it on my gasser, just to see what will happen. If it reduces noise, then i can live with it. But I was actually hoping for a slight power increase. Based on what I have been reading, the shape and volume of the silencer is not crucial. It's the header length and backpressure that's matters.

for nicest results -you have to have some expansion .
her is a pic of a small volume setup -note tho it is fairly long - and had fairly open outlet engine was ZDZ60 -turning MenzS 24x10 at 6500
If you look closely -you wil lse that I used two small aerosol cans -bottom to bottom the header went to 1"of the last can -

Super08, yes, it goes all the way to the back of the can, traverses back through a baffle to another chamber and then out the bottom.

RE: Need to quiet down my DL 50
Okay everyone. So i still haven't recieved my muffler yet. However, i am basically getting it cut, drilled, and welded by my friends dad at a machine shop for free so i am not complaining. I am looking over the plane and brain storming ideas for mounting this thing. First thing, with these long canister like mufflers i constantley here references to a tunnel. First off, is it necessary that the muffler be open to the outside. If, i decide to mount it inside the plane will this cause problems. I am thinking of moving to a smaller fuel tank, in the 12-15oz category (all ready get 30+ minutes on the 24oz), and moving it back on the cg. I am worried about over heating the inside of the plane as it isn't very big and it would be pretty cramed in there.
