I better sport one of these where the sun shines and all can see the new pipe!

Chris--how much nose weight am I going to have to add to my EB to counterweight the rear mount Zimmerman ? I think my wife is going to have to get me one for Christmas ( I can tell her thanks when the credit card bill comes in)

cbergen · 12-03-2008, 07:43 AM

Whatever it takes. At this point I have NOT put it on an EB to discern if it needs 1 ounce or 2.....

Hey Chris, I will have to have one of the rear mount mufflers for my new gasser. Its finally ready to fly. I think I am going to go home today and start it up for the first time.

HeliEdje · 12-04-2008, 12:26 AM

I didn't have to add weight on the nose of my EB whith the Hatori Muffler mounted

rccardude04 · 12-04-2008, 07:14 PM

Who cares anyway? It's heavy as hell anyway. Another few ounces won't hurt anything.

Ordered 10 of the rear mounts from Zimmermann. They look to be busy between the Spectra guys all getting together to have a muffler made, and getting ours finalized...

Should have the first 9 of the side mounts in shortly....

copterstudios · 12-06-2008, 10:50 AM

Chris,

When you get a side mount in for my Intrepid send me the bill and get her in the mail ASAP!!

Thanks,

Spring is here and flying weather has arrived. I have just over an hour airtime with the muffler and I love it. MUCH quieter than the original with a very nice sound. It has turned into a very nice gold color.

ErichF · 05-13-2009, 09:22 PM

yes, they are very nice...but apparently Chris' buying power for these mufflers is no better than the old muffler that fell apart. I've had two on back order for two Observers for about 4-5 months, now. We have aircraft that are grounded waiting on these mufflers, because the stock box muffler is not usable with our configuration.

cbergen · 05-14-2009, 08:32 AM

Well hell Erich, I wasn't aware that you were GROUNDED for the mufflers....You can order them from Zimmermann, Part number 2651.

maxx2504 · 05-14-2009, 01:04 PM

Hi Chris

Its nice to see a german muffler on your helis

Zimmermann is a very good company. I also got a Zimmermann muffler on my T-Rex 600. Very low noise and the motor runs very good with it.

For ppl who dont need much power but very smooth running motors, Zimmerman is the best choice

Does this mean you don't have any on order? I don't get it. If I can order direct, surely you can get them? I'd rather do business with you, than some goober in Germany.

ErichF · 05-25-2009, 11:28 AM

Just got a response from Zimmerman. They will not sell to the public. We are looking at other alternatives.

cbergen · 05-26-2009, 08:33 AM

Hmmmm, I didn't know that. Give me a call, I may have an alternative source for you....

AIRPLANEDOOD · 06-04-2009, 10:26 PM

Looks like i will be buying one..i like shinny objects..

phoneman · 06-05-2009, 06:39 AM

Airplanedood--where are you getting your muffler from ? I'm in need of one also--tired of the weedeater noise.

cbergen · 06-05-2009, 08:15 AM

I'm working on a quote and wire to Zimmermann right now, ordering both side mounts and rear mount types..

Will update with progress...

phoneman · 06-05-2009, 02:01 PM

That's good news as I will take either a rear mount or a side mount-- either one will be an improvement. Please let me know if/when you get them so I won't miss out this time. By the way-it's hot and humid down here.
