I have a WM mustang.
I was thinking of running the tuned pipe/rear exhaust engine on the plane’s right side this time. Of course the plane would be laterally balanced.
My thinking is that the pipe’s proximity to the wing may cause the wing to stall before the other, and if this idea holds any water, I’d rather the right one stall first in a turn. In a race, if the right stalls, the plane would roll top side up instead of inverted. Also, if the plane is near low speed stall and you need to feed in throttle, the prop torque may not be as likely to roll it in.

Or am I over thinking it? Does it matter?

No, I cant run the pipe under or on top. Too much mods (wing) or outline (top) to do that. Keepin it simple.

Thanks Guys

Well, you probably are overthinking it. That being said, every pylon plane and fast plane I have seen has the pipe down the right side. Is this worth anything??? I always run the pipe on the right.
One way to find out, build it and fly it.

Best of luck always

I mounted an inverted TT PRO .61 with an Ultra Thrust pipe down the left side and the plane flies great. It was a competitive Silver Class Warbird racer. Your pipe will not be a problem anywhere.

If I had it to do over I would have mounted the engine 90* to the right and had the pipe coming under the right wing. Invertyed motors for racing are a pain in the carburation department.<br type="_moz" />

I don't think it will matter. IMO the biggest factor will be which side of the airplane does your caller feel most comfortable holding during start up? Put it on the opposite side so he dosent get blasted by the exahust.

Hadn't thought of that one. Well, right side it is. Thanks guys!
