Hello All,
It's been awhile and I hope all had a good Thanksgiving. I got a PM today asking about the WWR as Space Cowboy just scored a NIB kit. Everything is here but I wanted to update. I found that the G62 was not giving me the performance I desired. I have G62's on two other aircraft and they scream. Both of those have Bennett Mufflers on them. So last year I did a test comparing rpm's with the Pitts and the Bennett using Xoar 22x10 and 23x8 props. I found the Bennett gave over 400rpm's better top end than the Pitts and the 22x10 was the better prop.

I fabricated a hatch to cover the part of the firewall removed for the Pitts muffler (post #106). I weighed the mufflers and added weight to the hatch to make up the difference for the lighter Bennett muffler. Will post some photo's tomorrow.
