can.

Yes, a "bottle"
I had mine on a TT61 Pro and in my poinion it didn't have enough volume.  It
ran like it had a too small tuned pipe.
What engine was it for?

Do you remember if there is a stinger or small tube exiting the back end?

It seems to me that I can see the stinger.

It's pointing toward the camera.

About 1/4 of the way up the curve down at the
tail end.

ah ah.  What size does that engine look like.(.46?)  It's on a profile but I
do have a large profile plane.  The OP says it's for a .90..........that is
a long header, might work.

Here is a Picture of the Plane if that will help.

That worked out well. Here's the reply from David Brawley:

Its my airplane.  its a 67 inch fusion ARF that was stripped to the
base and monokote design laid on.  Its a copy of John McNees's 79 inch
Amsoil Yak that is in Aerofly pro simulator.  I am sponsored by
Fromeco and it was a display plane for them...but now its my everyday
flyer.

Right now there is no plans to offer this graphic design in an ARF

The muffler is hand made and the pipe is a macs long pipe.  Muffler is
beer cans.  Motor is Super Tigre .90 with 15x4 prop.  the graphics are
all machine made.

Havent worked out the kinks on the muffler setup yet though, it lacks
some midrange.  I ran this on an OS160 and it was great, but on the .
90 its a bit too much pipe, so we are tweaking it.  Plane is Ohio
Model Products Fusion, which is the best flying profile I have ever
flown.  Just used JB weld on the muffler.  with brass pipe as stinger
but again we are having issues with it.

Servos are standard JR821's on a spektrum

The landing gear and wheel pants are custom made as well but you can
use any wheel pants.  the Gear is made by a buddy that does them ever
now and then in lots of 4.

Contact OMP through their website and order the fusion ARF 67 inch and
strip it to the china cote and do your own thing too if you like.  I
think the ARF is about 250 dollars.  good value.  plane is straight as
a board and will fly pattern as good as my 1/3 scale suky and hover
like a foamie.  It rolls like a drill bit and will snap and recover as
fast as you can hit the sticks.

If you are a good pilot, put some faster servos on it and it will
dance.  something like a 6xxx hitec or an 8411 JR.  My friend has an
OS.91 2 stroke on his, and I have to say it is more powerful.  the
ultimate setup on this plane is a YS 110.  It will do a climbing flat
spin with a YS.

Nice work, MK!

I'd say that answers all the questions, and then some!
