RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

That is not the same muffler. The one listed is the stock JTEC Pitts. It will not fit within the cowling of the TF P-51.

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

Is the issue with the pitts muffler the fact that the header that attaches to the motor too wide or the canister sticking out past the cowling?

Doug,
