Default The Doomed Ziroli Stuka Cowl?

Or is it? I am looking at a G-62 for power as most seem to use but I don't see too many without the dreaded muffler hanging out the side of the cowl. I know some mufflers have to fit but what one should I choose or is there another engine option without spending an arm and a leg. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Jon,

I really didn't think the Slimline would fit. The B & B i've seen is always hanging out and I thought they would be the best fit because they are so thin.

chook,

Just a reminder that with the G62 you will have the carburetor sticking out the other side. That's why I bit the bullet and bought a DA50. A ZDZ would work well, too. If holes are as much of a bother to you as they are to me, you may want to consider a change of engines.

Al,

I would love to have that DA for the Stuka but I already have the G-62, just sold a ZDZ80 that I thought would be too much power. It would be nice to have the carb concealed, but it's something I can live with. Jon, that removable wing panel is something I've been considering for mine as well, to make it easier to transport. Looks great!
