Default what kind of muffler do I use ?

Hi guys. I'm building a "60" size Goldberg Super Chipmonk & putting a 61 Super Tigre in it. I'd like to mount it sideways. What would be the best "Pitts style" muffler to use? I want to keep everything inside the cowl. Oh, ya, I'm useing a Fiberglass Specialties cowl. I'm also wanting to add a smoke syst. Thanks By the way how can I expect this bird to fly, and land etc. ?

Very responsive airplane. I had a 70 Surpass in mine. Are you adding flaps?

Bisson makes a nice Pitts for the .61. I have one on my ST .61 in a Cessna 177, works great. It doesn't have a smoke tap, but does have the pressure tap. Tower has them for $39.99, their order # is LX8672.

Nope. Should I? If it just has to be landed a little hot-that's fine by me. Last spring I built a 60 size Super Sportster & put a Super Tigre 75 in it. I clipped the wings 1 bay & it has to come in kinda hot or it will fall out of the sky!! I've already got the wing done, but it wouldn't be that big of a deal (I don't think) to go back & work out flaps. The main reason I didn't put flaps on it was my fingers get confused when I give them too many things to do at once!! You know, like land, back off throttle, hit flaps, scratch butt, oh dang, that switch wasn't supposed to do that..& then, I think I can repair that!!!
