MaL Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I have two RCGF 15's, one in an enlarged Hots Hot (180cm) and one in a 1/4 scale Stephens Akro. I use a 14*10 prop. Is it noisy?......how long is a piece of string? The included muffler is not the best! I have the pitts silencer fitted to mine and they do a slightly better job. You can fit a pepper pot to the outlet pipe(s), which helps with the 'bark' if you can live with a loss of top end RPM . Biggest drawback in my view is the radial mounting is a bit vulnerable to breakage in the event of a heavy nose over or 'arrival' and that means a new crankcase to fix it.

Chris Channon Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hi all, why are petrol 2 strokes so much noisier than a glo engine ? Is it just because the petrol engine silencer is not as good as a glo engine ?Thanks all,Chris.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 They tend to be larger CC they also usually have naff "silencers" which is a waste of money, might as well not supply it, heard plenty of noisy glows mind. Evolution 10cc comes with a similar silencer to modern glows, the noise is very little and got an inoffensive tone to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Ive got 3 15cc ones. You might remember the Eflite Carbon Cub from last year- that had one. Have another in a Seagull T-28 Trojan, the medium one and a Yak 54 from Graupner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
