Good day,
need some advice on a replacement Irvine 53 muffler. I've had some trouble with the assembly bold breaking a few times in flight. Apparently due to the extension piece expanding too much while the engine is running. The supplier I bought it from was kind enough to replace the bolt and muffler end-piece on two occasions. It happened again a third time, but I moved away before I could stop by and get another bolt and end-piece.
1. Does anyone know where I can find replacement parts for this muffler in the US (extension, bolt, and end-piece). Sig sells the entire muffler for around $38
2. Or, is there another muffler that will do the same which is sold for less? I saw some thread on RCU mentioning the Tower ??? muffler.
By the way, this little engine flies as well as it looks. This is it on my Stick:
