The new muffler is an RJX Tuned Pipe. It is extremely quiet now. Not quite as quiet as the nitro, but really close. I had to fatten it up some before it would make power, but it's running pretty sweet right now.

However, I'm tearing it all down and replacing every bearing in the heli. I'll be using these for the clutch shaft:

and this kit for the rest of the heli:
www.rc-bearings.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=33_35_39&products_id=364
All bearings are ABEC 3's or better.

I'm also replacing the tail with a Quick UK tail:

It's got a few dings in it now. But the great thing about a canopy is you can always repaint it. If it's not busted up to bad that is. Ordered everything today. Should be here by monday or tuesday.

Then a short hover at the end of the street.

I flew the gasser, and a couple of electrics yesterday at the new field. The gasser was tuned perfect and flew on a line. It was a good feeling to have it in the air and perform the way it did. Makes all the front end work worth it.

My son's shot some video for me, and I made a movie. However I'm not going to get the video up before I have to leave for work, it's rendering right now and it's going pretty slow. Look for a video sometime late tonight, early tomorrow morning.

doozer awesome vid.

but i gota asky why not run pump gass coleman fuel is unimpressive and i think the smoke on spool up is just mostly unburnt in the pipe. i saw no smoke in a hover were id guess your throttle would never go below what it is in a hover.

otherwise very impressive bird. i do not like helibug 600 for front mounted fuel tank i may go 700 helibug conversion when i do mine just so i can have the fuel tank were itls suposed to be

Ed Zachery!

Coleman is worth it for me. I live in Phoenix and the summers can get pretty hot. Trying to work on a Gasser in an un-air-conditioned garage sucks. There is no noticeable power difference between Coleman and gas, and I can switch seamlessly between the two. So if I'm in a pinch, I can go to the corner gas station.

You are right about the smoke on spool up. It smokes a bit until it warms up then disappears. I don't like the front fuel tank either. Even though I have it timed almost to the second I still get a little itchy around 10 minutes. I always fly about 12 minutes then bring it down for a check... I always have more than a half of a tank of gas

I'm getting another gasser soon, but it wont be a helibug. Probably a Century G30... with a Z231. Lots of good gassers out there if you do your reseach. Just some are more expensive than others.

i was born in diesel and gas fumes as my family are all mechanics so i guess if colemans better int he house i wouldnt know it as i work in chainsaws in the kitchen and ive often had hydralic fluid and disel baths i think antifreeze is the worst. there have been a few times ive got home and the wife kicks me right out of the house.

you tried AV gas ive ran it in chevy 350 and it didnt seem to chane much but that truck was a super gutless turd to start with
