    I don't use the Mfg. supplied gaskets. Just use about a 1/8" bead of red high-temp silicone gasket maker, just SNUG the muffler bolts down and let the silicone cure then tighten the muffler bolts all the way. check bolts for tightness after the first couple runs and you are good to go...

    Have you checked to make sure your elevator halves are precisely matched? Both in total travel as well as through their range of motion? If they are not matched, it could cause the condition you describe. Regards, Astro

    Funny how you happened to "Find a little time between jobs"! :D I can't tell you how many times I have stopped at the field (between jobs!), only to find a gaggle of guys sitting there NOT flying because it is, "too windy". I then proceed to pull out whatever little foamy I might have in...

    Why do you love this hobby?

    I grew up with two older brothers. When I was about six, they started messing around with Cox .049 CL models. I remember a Fokker Tri plane and a PT 19 trainer. I also distinctly remember the smell of the glow fuel. I remember incessant flipping of props to get those little engines running...

    That is Mt. Baker in the background and it is just shy of 11,000 ft. My field is less than a mile from the salt water and sits at 6 ft. above sea level. Good flying days start here in mid-May and end usually mid to late September. One can usually find flying days here and there...
