Any of the engines (even the old high RPM short strokes) could be made to go rich and slow down at the bottom of loops and Split S if the pipe was set long enough.  Of course this type of talk is “greek” to an increasing number these days…..  J

I ran the Webra 61 rear exhaust short stroke (160 degrees exhaust duration) on 5% fuel, Rossi R-8 or OPS RC-300 plug, IM pipe at 14-1/2" from the high point to the plug, Max Dailey 11-7.5 prop at 15,200 rpm, not many (if any) engines could do that.  In contrast the OS 61VF rear exhaust has an exhaust duration around 148 degrees and was a full 800-1000 rpm less with the same setup (except the pipe was between 12-3/4" and 13-1/4" from the plug to the high point).  The Short Strokes were all about 12-18 degrees less in exhaust port duration which made them less peaky with a bit more torque.  The overall HP was actually less, but more usable for the new style of flying, and the lowered RPM also helped with propeller efficiency. Interestingly, the Webra 160's I flew for several years before going E had exhaust durations of only 128 degrees, closer to a control-line stunt motor.  At that point the tuned pipe is essentially a big muffler, and the motor would actually slow down at the bottom of a Split S!

It’s amazing how much I’ve forgotten about back then but the pipe was a Hatori and I think we ran the header full length with about a ¾” gap in the coupler. I want to say that the prop with that combo was an APC 13-10 but I wouldn’t swear to it. By comparison, I found the Hanno to be unimpressive but that anodized head looked pretty nice. I’m pretty sure I was running K&B 1-L plugs and low nitro fuel, like 5 or 10%. If my time frame memory is correct, they were in Summit II’s and Summit III’s.

I remember it being a very easy and powerful setup that didn’t require frequent needle tweaking. I seem to recall having some header breakage problems early on that we resolved but I can’t remember how. Maybe making the pipe mount softer so it could move with the soft-mounted engine? Anyway, I was fortunate to have a friend at the time that had daily access to a Bridgeport so the mod to the exhaust port was no problem. Seems like a lifetime ago….

The OS were always under scavenged compared to other motors of the day, and accordingly lower in power output.  Just guessing, but your fuel consumption went up a bit with the mod?

I ended up selling the Hanno because it couldn’t match the power of the modified .61 long stroke. In time, I had three like that and they were all awesome. BTW, I had the ABC version.
