Thanks Derek, I checked a few chopper places and none have any instock at this time. It's no biggy as I won't need them untill this fall when I start building two Brio's. I'm going to use twin servo's in the tail so I was really considering the short muffler to eliminate the weight of the pipe behing the CG. How has this pipe and mount worked for you? Time wise it's no big deal but looks like with shipping that mount is going to be +$30. I might order several items to play with.

Installing the mount is quick and easy. Just make sure that you buy the right height - I mistakenly bought the 20mm riser and should have gotten the 29mm one. Nothing a couple of pieces of "nest of bees" (honeycomb) can't cure.

There are some rubber inserts in the legs that the clips slide into - these do wear out (and break) so make sure you have some small fuel tubing handy to slide in as a replacement "grommet". The pipe has worked out very well - being short doesn't interfere too much with sound since it does muffle the motor enough. It also makes removing a one piece wing a piece of cake now.
