Yes, it does. You should have seen it before cutting off over 5" of outlet pipe. Longer than the gear!
Not cheap, and unfortunately for some reason Keleo no longer make them so a bit of a hunt to find.

Frank, hopefully this one runs just as good on the plane with that new exhaust as it did bare pipes on the test stand. |
Nice exhaust system, makes for a clean installation look.

The ignition aid we used to add is MEKP (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide) otherwise sold as “fibreglass hardener”. I used to buy a bottle at Can Tire. Yes, it is hazardous if you get it in your eyes, so wear glasses and dispense carefully.
MEK is methyl ethyl ketone which is a solvent. Don’t use that, lol.
I have some old (I’m guessing 25+ years) fuel that still runs the diesels, although I do add a squirt of ether once and a while.
Nothing smells like a diesel!

Have a little leftover for patches lol. No differences in color, never had problems with monokote until this project. One roll of 24feet was no good guessing old stock. Horizon hobby sent me rolls to replace it.

56 ft is that with no mistakes? I found sometimes the colors between lots were not the same any problems that way?
