No more leaky after run oil!
I hate moving planes around inside the house because the after run oil invariably drips out the mufflers of my glow-motors. I have some latex finger protectors from Wal-Mart that I use to keep CA from dissolving my fingertips. Well, some are to small to use, but they roll right onto my muffler! No more runs, drips etc.
Some of you might even get a cheap thrill out of putting them on.
Practice safe flying,
Fred

None of my YS 4-strokes drip afterrun oil as their fuel system is sealed.
The Saitos OTOH are drool monsters - not from the muffler, from the crankcase vent. I used to close them up with a short bit of fuel line and a plug, but would always forget to remove the plug before flying. I now use a (somewhat) long piece of fuel line from the vent and slip the other end over the needle valve extension wire. The extra oil just stays in the line until the next time I fire the engine up.

I use a dab of quickcrete. Seals that little drip up nicely and gives me a little nose weight when I need it *laughs*. It's 5 P.M. here, TIME TO GO FLYIN.
