I have an MP5 on my titan .. love the thing .. and ooohh soo quiet Have to trim a little offa canopy but not as much as others

With regards to your comments on getting wood blades, what standard are you at at the moment? If you can confidently hover and maybe even some forward/sideways movement, then there are carbon blades out there which are reasonably priced, and would see you a fair while before needing to be changed.

Ok, the worry about having another spill will always come into it, but something worth considering. But woodies will see you fine in to basic forward flight etc.

i vote for gct carbons as cheap as woodies (almost) and fly 10 times better, also id get a zimmerman pipe really quiet and reasonably power full and i think andy BIG.CHOPPER has still got one for sale and while yer there hes got some decent carbons im sure hell let you have cheap so even better news

I use an MP5 pipe on my titan and love it, so quiet at idle & hover, but yet it comes alive with sound and plenty of power when nailed... I'd can't recommend it enough!!

Saying that both pipes are excellent and will serve you well, basically its personal preferance

[RaptorStudent]

Unfortuantly they arnt for sale anymore, i pm'd about both of them.
I am still at the learning to hover with the training undercarrage on stage but new blades will be purchased at the end of the month
So the results so far for muffler is

Curtis - 2
Zimmerman - 1
Hatori - 0

This is really helping cheers guys keep the votes coming .
I have decided to sack the blades off to the end of the month, as the old saying "buy it right first time " came into my head. So the budget is £185 for a Engine, Muffler and glow plug.....keep it coming guys cheers

I'll give a vote for the Hatori, I find them sometimes easier to tune than the mp5 can be.

but having said that the mp5's are also very good.

[steelie600]

align pipe is good as well and the most powerful pipe out there for the hyper

im on my 2nd cos the first got a bit bent up after my last heli earth interface

[jimheli]

when i got my rap titon kit it came with a pipe, so i presume yours will to , i also got a Zimmerman for it from a forum member, but here's a link Revolution Models Zimmerman Quiet pipes

cheers jim

Curtis - 2.5
Zimmerman - 2
Hatori - 1
Align - 1

decisions, decisions

[darryl]

stick with the standard pipe that comes with the kit while running the engine in and until you need a bit more grunt, as you're only learning you won't really benefit at the mo anyway ... then slip on the pipe you choose.

Ive got Hator 522's on all my 50 size nitros now and absolutely love them. Easy to tune, loads of power and they look far cooler than the others. Only downfall is you gotta trim the Titan canopy. I had a zimmerman on my Titan but changed it to the Hatori and the Titan is now a beast.

Use the kit one.

you don't need the power, 50 notes will be better spent on fuel, blades, booms.

but if u do have to spend choose the one u like the look of.

Got delivered today, a nice new 50hyper and a CY mp5.
Thanks for the tips and help guys
