Personal Observations:-
This engine was purchased in the mid 1970's for scale RC Goodyear racing. This was a time when engines were being sold without mufflers and there was a school of thought at the time that our engines were not designed to run with the back pressure created by a muffler. Du Bro introduced their solution, a muffler said to produce almost no back pressure, they called it the Muffl-Air. Just to prove I was a responsible aero-modeler I installed a Muffl-Air on my OS H 40 P.
Most model airplane kit manufacturers were selling kits of scale racers this engine was used in a scale racer called La Jolita produced by Williams brothers, this was their first and only attempt at full flying model airplane kit manufacturing. The kit included many molded parts cheek cowls, cockpit, canopy, turtle deck, wing ribs, wheels, spinner and of course one of the Brother's famous pilot figures.
