Rbgunner: Sure thing man... Actually as we speak I have the cowl off now.. I kinda touched up the cowl openings a little bit so they wont look so raggedy. I did put some screen in the air-inlet on the cowl to make it look kinda covered.. Ill show you with a picture. Looks pretty cool.

Glowplug: No pitts type mufflers isn't required for 2 stokers but, a lot of people do because 2 strokes expessually the big ones uses some pretty big mufflers. By using the muffler that big would really distract from the look of the plane. Pitts mufflers are generally smaller so they could be fit within the cowl without much hacking up if any.. I just love the look of two pipes sticking out the bottom of the plane..

Again on the subject of mufflers.. I have a Davis Diesel in cowl muffler for 4 strokes. I bought it to use it on this plane but, never bothered to put it on. Anyone interested?
