I cant say for sure... but on an OS 50 I picked up about 300-400 rpm...best I remember. I think the main advantage to using the Macs muffler is the weight savings.

Before you get either the Tower or the Macs mufflers, take a look at the "mousse can pipe" thread in the Glow Engines section. A MCP will give you considerably more power than either one of those.

For info on how to build a Mousse Can Pipe, Go here: http://webpages.charter.net/rcfu/
Look under the CONSTRUCTION link for the Mousse Can Muffler building
instructions.

im not very handy at stuff like that..
is there any tuning necessary?
if there is im out of luck..

If you don't want to fool with building one, try Flying Z hobbies http://www.flyingzhobbies.com/main.html

Harold Parker and Tina Z are masters of the mousse can pipe and sell them pre-made.

If you can change your own glow plugs, then you can build a MCP from scratch.

For a TT Pro 46, you'll need a mousse can that measures 1.75 diameter by 6.5" to 8.5" long. The stinger tubing is optional if you want to skip that step.

Be sure to get the original JB Weld epoxy. We've had problems with the quick curing JB Weld breaking loose after about a dozen flights.

Tuning a MCP is pretty much the same as tuning a Tower muffler or an Ultrathrust muffler. You bolt it on.....set the needle valves.....and go fly.

Unless Flying Z Hobbies has added something new, their KY Mousse Can Pipe only works on .15 to .36 size engines. It's too small for a TT Pro .46.

You can build one.

These things are fantastic. It made my 46FX a fire breathing dragon :lol: The burrito is like a whole new plane.

I think Diamond Dust sells a MCP for the .46 for about $30.

The MCP construction link is in my first post in this thread.
