Texx,

Check out the build thread here......The pitts muffler that Rcshowcase sells is a nice unit....but requires hacking a huge hole in the cowl. That's what I decided to use.....I posted pics in the thread. Or OM your email addy....and I'll send you the pics directly. I'm not sure on the dimensions for the side mount muffler that RcShowcase sells, but I think it may be a better fit for this application. I would give them a call and see how big it actually is. My gut feeling is it'll fit better than the wrap around pitts. The canister install is possible.....you'll just need to order the pieces parts and braze then together. I just don't have the time to mess with it right now otherwise I would have pursured it. 3 kids, my boss at work is most likely on his way to jail, that leaves me with a HUGE network upgrade this summer to run by myself. I'm having trouble just trying to get the ARF together. If you any other questions, just ask.....I'll answer what I can.

BTW.....my buddies with the 3W80 and Canister weighs it around 24lbs. The advertised weights on these planes is not even achievable. I'm looking at 22lbs with standard exhaust.
