[NSRCA-discussion] Icepoint

[John Pavlick]

Bob,
 I've flown a few Icepoints with the OS 160 - great setup for that airplane even though they don't come in a rear-exhaust version. That's easily fixed with a wraparound header. Karl Mueller will makeone for you, Just tell him which airplane and engine you have. Here's his Email address:

There's an aluminum pipe somewhere that is a copy of the MACS 1092 that I've used - works great and it's very inexpensive. Unfortunately I can't remember where I bought mine from - it was a while ago. The MACS aluminum pipe is good too and they last forever. Carbon pipes are a little fragile and they're more expensive but thay are very light. I'm using Aeroslave (carbon) pipes now and haven't had any problems with any of the second generation ones. Good luck with the new airplane!

  I recently picked up a slightly, damaged in shipment, "Icepoint" from a friend that made periodic trips to China.  The airplane is brand new and the damage was minor, but the covering on the fuse was unbonded and I had to strip the whole thing.  That's done, and now I'm getting ready to recover...no problem.

  I'd like to put either a O.S. 140 or O.S. 160 on this airplane.  Any comments?

  Also, I notice that the O.S. 140 comes in a rear exhaust version, and a header and pipe is available.  I doesn't appear, however, that the O.S.160 is available as a rear exhaust.  Where would I go to get the necessary header and pipe for the 160?

  Thanks
  bw
