Default Theres something strange in my G90 Muffler!

Flying with a new broken in G90 and heard a clinking noise. Flew it like that for 5 or 6 flights. Got home, pulled the muffler off and found what looks like a brass washer the size of 3/4 of a dime The hole in the middle of the washer is rather small. Question: Is this part of the stock muffler that came loose or is it just something that got mistakenly inserted????????

Also, using Byron Fuel 10 percent nitro/ 18 percent oil. Is this a good nitro/oil combo for this engine? If not, what combo do you recommend?

Sounds like the baffle came loose inside the muffler. If you can shake it near the big port, you can bend it and remove it with a pair of long-nose pliers. It won't hurt to have it out. If you send an email to the addy below, we can also give you instructions about warranty handling.

Bax,
It still runs fine without it. Is there any downside to not having the baffle?
Thanks,
Mike

The baffle is mainly for noise reduction. Without it, the engine will be a bit louder, but will also be able to turn a bit more RPM.

OK. I'll just leave it as is.
