Garry G Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hello Peter, have been flying now several times with only one baffle and the motor has performed perfectly, tried today with the second baffle back in the silencer and problem returned. Surprised Just Engines didn't mention this could be the cause when I spoke to them originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 it isn;t by any chance the super quiet just engines silenceris it? i am wondering if they accidently put a baffle in each position, i think there is only meant to be one, on my one there is only one anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry G Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi Peter, Have spoken to Just Engines and you are right, it is the super silencer as the standard as supplied only has one baffle and no shiney centre section as mine does. I am going to try drilling out the holes on the first baffle to see if that will keep the motor running and also reduce the noise level which is noticeably louder with it missing.

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 So the super quiet one is supposed to have two baffles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry G Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Good morning Peter, sorry about the delay in replying but my laptop has been up the swannee for a while. Yes apparently that silencer does have two baffles: have tried drilling out the first one nearest the motor exhaust ( the holes were more like eyelids) to reduce the back pressure. The motor did run a little better but still not happy so I just took the baffle out again and it runs o.k. We live and learn.

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 maybe i just got the medium quiet one with just one baffle and the shiny bit slightly off topic, i managed to start the SC53 my silencer is attached to by bouncing it off the compression which i only thought worked on 4 strokes, it actually scared the willies out of me!

Garry G Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Have looked on Just Engines website in 2 stroke silencers and the Super Quiet silencer only comes with one baffle so why I have 2 in mine is a mistery.Don't actually remember ordering one but must have. Check out the website as it has some information about changing the location of the baffle and also adapting it. Regards Garry G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 yeah, we went for the increased silencing as opposed to the increased power, it is ample for the plane anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Went into hobbystores to get some brass plate, picked it up, asked how much it was, and put it back! BLOOMIN' HELL!!! £10+ for a sheet 10" x 4" x 0.25" Got an engine mount and blind nuts and walked out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
