Default OS .46 LA - pitts type muffler?
I am working on my second build, a sig 4 star 40 into which i'm looking at a cowl mod. Currently I have a boxed OS .46 LA and would like to use a pitts type muffler to avoid the unsightly zeppelin hanging out of the cowl.

It isn't too late to go to an FX but I'm not so interested in investing more in this particular plane as I hope number three will be a lifetime keeper and this one will get passed onto my now 6 year old as HIS second plane. So, anyone know of a pitts fit to a .46 LA?

Lastly, I've considered engine mounting entirely inverted which will hid it completely in the cowl, BUT I don't wish to invert to start. Ideally I'd like to fit an external connector for the glow battery to in turn wire to the glow plug. Any ideas? suggestions? manufacturers?

Thanks and all the best,
