Default GP pitts

I thought of using a gasser as well but decided not to for two reasons. First, we had some bad experience with a gasser recently, and although I think I can manage to make the receiver noise proof, the whole airframe is complicated as is and I do not want to risk it in favor of cheap fuel. Second, I store the plane at home (in my 9 months son's room) and the smell of a gasser is something neither me nor my wife will tolerate. The MVVS 1.60 can ingest a diet of 10% oil FAI fuel (no nitro) so mixing my own fuel (as I do for my other 2 and 4 strokers) will bring the runnig cost to the gassers ballpark.
I now need to get a pitts style muffler for the engine. I saw Bisson makes such a mufffler to fit my engine and I might order one soon.
Happy flying to all.
