Default DV / DA50 / PITTS MUFFLER / JUST LIKE MANUAL / HEY CHIP

Hey Chip,

I am trying to figure out how you ever mounted the DA50 on the DOUBLE VISION with the PITTS MUFFLER as shown in the MANUAL without cutting this ARF apart. With the bottom of the cowl lined up with the front of the main gear the front of the cowl is about 5-3/8" from the firewall. This does not allow clearance for the PITTS MUFFLER as shown in the MANUAL. I ordered this plane, engine and accessories based on the photos in the manual because this is the exact setup I wanted and believed the airframe would handle this Muffler setup as there is no mention anywhere in the MANUAL of cutting this ARF up to make it work.

I will be the first to say I may be looking at this incorrectly so I would again like to request some info and pictures, which are not in the manual, depicting the installation procedure you utilized to install the DA50 with PITTS MUFFLER in the DOUBLE VISION.

I have emailed your website in the past stating the same as above and the response by one of your employees was "buy the quiet pipe!" and no reply to to my question relating to the PITTS MUFFLER.

I look forward to your response.
