Kirt, that was Roger, not Kevin. I've become about as addicted to the internet as RC, especially in these cold months.

I have been reviewing the thread as I wait for my supplemental materials to begin assembling my short kit Jungmeister. I really appreciate all the years of contributions. I feel I will be able to build this thing and enjoy my time doing it rather than being frustrated, as I think I would be without this site....Thanks Again!

One question that keeps coming to mind: Has anyone made their own muffler that uses the dummy on the Jungmeister cowling. That sounds kinda neat to me. Any ideas or comments? Thanks, Kirt

Status: offline 		Kirt, here are a couple of photos of my much modified Bisson side mounted muffler. I didn't want to cut a hole in the cowl for the muffler. I accomplished this by slicing the bottom off and having some custom welding done. The most important thing is to find a skilled welder with an interest in the project. I found one here in Arlington and he does great work. If you go to the Bisson web site and look at the original muffler you can see just how much was done.

After the work on my muffler was initially done I realized that the sound of the straight pipe coming out of the muffler was just too harsh. I cut one of the necked down tips off of the part that I had removed and had him weld it on to the pipe. This made the sound acceptable. As a suggestion, you might be able to take the same muffler and have the exhaust pipe welded on the front side and use some of the curved header pipes to make what you want. A word of caution, the Bisson muffler uses very thin aluminum so reinforcing is necessary. I don't think you want to run a straight pipe without muffling because you probably wouldn't be allowed to fly at most fields.

Here are a few photos of the welding that ASIL Custom Welding did for a friend of mine on a KI-84 scale exhaust system used on a Brison 4.8 twin.

Status: offline 		Hi Guys, Thanks for the suggestions. As to noise pollution, I'm not sure that my part of the country has ever heard of such sophisticated considerations. I usually fly on a seldom used highway that eventually skirts the north rim of the Grand Canyon. I'm usually OK as long as the wind doesn't change and I watch for dump trucks. On occasion I venture down and force the guys in the St. George, UT club to associate with me.
Anyway, thanks for the photos and comments. This is really neat, being able to finally share building comments with somebody. Thanks, Kirt...

Just a post script. The ideal of modifying an existing muffler would probably work. Believe it or not, we have a premier manfacturer of aluminum boats right here in the middle of the southwest desert. They are always happy to have something different to do. Kirt

Status: offline 		Oh to be able to run straight headers on my models, tis but a dream here. We have people who complain about the smell of farms after they move up here from the Chi-town.

Quick update on mine. Wings are covered, begining stitch and tape tonight then on to the fuse. Need to paint the cockpit area before I cover the fuse. Its been alot of fun spending the last few weeks on details like the windscreen(pain in the butt), crash pad, turtledeck pad, fuel guage, throttle quadrant, pitot tube, wing walk, fender mud flaps, and wing root fairings, etc. I now have a pile of little components awaiting installation on the model. My shop is cluttered with Bucker parts and I have to be carefull where I step. Once the fuse is covered I can do the nose panels,inspection covers, and louvers. My home computer is down right now but when it gets up I will post some pics. The end is near!!
