Mike, do you have any photos you can send of your  slip joints?  I have about 450 hours so far with no problems, but I suspect  that one day I will.

 Thanks,

 Deke

Deke,  

   

This is what it looks like before you install it;  http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/hydroformslipjoinst.php  

   

I ordered the SPG-4 gearbox and have the engine off ready to install new pulleys on the other end of the engine.  I had to use a different location for my ignition pickups.

Larry,  

   

Nice looking muffler system.  Did you allow for expansion differences between the engine and the muffler?  I had a similar system (NSI) on my Kitfox and it developed cracks at the pipe/muffler joint.  I ended up putting a slip joint right at the muffler and no problems after that.  It is a much quieter system with the muffler.

  I don't know if these will come through,but I told you I would try to let you know about the results of my muffler for the Kitfox 4-1200 EA-81.       I had 2 straight stacks on it for 550 hrs. It was awful after the 1st 2 hrs.  ;o)     

    

  I didn't know much about mufflers ,but with a lot of help from the group and particularily from Al Wick,I have an exhaust system that seems to work very well. If you check Al's posts and ideas you will find info for a system that works better than advertized. I made my first flight with it today. I flew over a friends house. He said a little later a C-172 flew over much higher and my plane was much quieter. My wife and I have never been able to converse in the Fox,but today I talked with her on a cell phone from the air. The difference is spectacular. The only change I made from Al's plans was to make it 10" long instead of 6". This was only because I had the material and the space. Tomorrow we fly to Breakfast about 20 mi away. We will get Mary's input.  Larry Huntley,Dundee,NY
