| Hi guys,
the gasser will fit some fuse inthe 60 size class but they have to be you r bigger ones for eg, the century hughes 500 will take a p gasser where as it doesnt look like it will fit the 60 size longranger very comfortably if at all. see, the gasser has wider frames than the glo version so your narrower fuses are kinda out of the question. you mayget away in other fuses if you use the stock muffler and lose the air cleaner. as for the v2 (and v1) muffler century put out, it wasnt designed for use with a fuselage, but to extract the maximum power form that zenoa.
now you want to put a predator in a fuse where it will be at home, look at the vario line. their fuses are huge and that p gasser will haul them around like there is no tomorow. you may hav to redo or come up with your own woodwork to mount it tho but not a big deal. as far as bladelength, if you fit in in a fuse and the fuse wont allow you to runthe long blades you usedin pod n boom configuration, then run what works for the fuse. no law says the throttle has to go wide open, thats waht pitch and throttle curves are for. the motor will even like the lessload from the shorter blades especially with the extra task of lifting the fuse.
back to the muffler issue, vario makes a clever scale oriented muffler that with the use of a header, the muffler sits behind the frames instead of using precious space at the side.
i have a Vario dauphin fuselage just waiting for my buddy's p gasser if i can ever talk him into selling it to me. but, it flies too well and that doesnt seem to be happening.
