Default Home made muffler

Hi Juice

Well.....................I built the muffler with silver solder. It looks functional but pretty it is NOT. I have not tested it yet. I plan to run silicone tubes from the muffler to the metal exhaust stacks on the side. It is a spitfire and is completed with the paint. Some cockpit detail and the exhaust are what's left. The spit has a narrow nose and has presented some problems. Might bench run the setup in a week or two.

Here in BC. we have had a real warm winter (touch wood). Have done some flying, spads and gliders, but there is a inch or two of snow so that eliminates some of the trickier planes. Some guy's use ski's. This is really something for this area. We normally have 4 feet. In fact we hold the Can. record for the single greatest 24 hour snow fall (about 4 feet in 24 hrs.).
