Attempt to make an aluminum muffler from
scraps and brazing together with Alumiweld sticks..
(Also New Rev55 installed on 27% Edge 540)
Two pics below are comparing the RCGF 50cc mounted on plane, to the Rev55 engine in my hand...
I used square tubing, but I also used my RCGF 50cc "b" muffler as a "guide" or template for dimensions...
Some more pics of the installation on the Edge 540 after removing the RCGF 50cc "b"... Rev55 is Shorter in a lot of ways... had to
put spacers behind the standoff mounts, and move the cowling back almost 3/4"....

Second run-up after taking to the field, and the Rev55 engine was falling on it's face.... but it did fly and ran ok, less than 1/4 throttle.....
I guess the timing moved..... had to reset it... now it's kickin' tail!!!!
