[NSRCA-discussion] How to minimize exhaust trail?

[Chuck Hochhalter]

Glen, Todd Blose ran a diffuser for about ½ a contest last year that I
saw and it departed sometime in the middle of a round.  It was a carbon
fiber plug that exited just like an extension that had a “pill” looking
end to it with many holes drilled.  Worked ok but he would know more..
give him a call or drop him an email.. I know he is on RCU.

Bill,
 
As you and others know an exhaust trail should not be used by a judge
for awarding any type of a downgrade.  Nevertheless electric powered
aircraft will be more prevalent this year. With the absence of an
exhaust trail on electrics I believe the trail left by glo power may
present a visual queue by which some judges may utilize when awarding
downgrades.  Why give a judge not following proper judging criteria an
opportunity to downgrade if it can be avoided.  
 
We have come a long way in educating judges.  This needs to continue and
include shifts in technology and the effects these shifts may have to
the sport of pattern.

the judges ever mistake I make.  (And, there's lots of them!<G>  Bill

Dear list,
 
Anyone using a diffuser, if that is the correct term to use, at the end
of a muffled pipe to minimize/cloak the visual effect of the exhaust
trail?  I am interested in knowing what you used and if it is
commercially available or homemade and how effective it worked.
