Pretty cool. I love the vintage stuff. My Great Uncle, a Lake Michigan Captain for +45 years, WWII Vet, just an awesome all around guy

used to tell me he had no time for antiques. That always cracked me up.

After further review.... I'm thinking this was an outboard rigger then someone converted it to I/B.....

[Grimracer]

I got a pipe like that. Used it on a 40 size Kaos airplane with a Schnuerle Fox 45 with Perry carb.

Rod built that boat to set the outboard hydro SAW record. At the time it met all the criteria to be classed as an outboard. have not seen it in probably 15 years.

In the first days of schnuerle engines for airplanes that could be bought that I could affort and my first experince with tune pipes it work very well. The pipe had a great ring to it amd my buddys at the flying field thought it was loud and it was. But it met the rules of a muffler at that time. I went on to run a piped engine in my last pattern plane. It was in a very modfied Dirty Birdy with a rear exhaust Super Tiger X61 and the muffled piped went thru the cowl. And this was just part of the modfications. It was a sweet, clean, and fast airplane. Was clock by the police radar at over 130mph and would fly where you pointed it.

Grim's "shop" is more like a journey thru time in all hobbies,it's cool as hell.

Got it for my collection, now if I can get my buddy Rod to put the little Picco back in shape and I'll do a little work to some of the bumps and scuffs it'll be ready to rock again.
