Hi Micktoon It's a long time ago since we made RC exhausts. Actually last time was the early 90's . They were simply made from milled bar 16x10mm with 16 or 19mm x 1mm alum tube which was bent to approx 135deg flattened using a former to maintain the shape required, which was a flat oval. The 'header' bar would have a recese milled to registar on to the exhaust port. When cleaned up & assembled we used aluminium solder made by 'Camping Gaz', which is a brazing process as the temps required are near critical temps for aluminium. Sorry I don't have any photos. I'll have a look and see if I can find any bits or units left over. We called the exhausts 'Rip Speed' we sold/traded them into a local model shop, as well as making the usual range for 40's 60's ect we made one off specials for scale planes to conceal/replicate the outlets. |
