Subject: [FlyRotary] small muffler suggestions for single rotor?

Greetings,
 
I'm looking for ideas for a small, lightweight, durable (no pieces through my prop please) muffler for the single rotor.  I'm not opposed to making one if necessary.  Any ideas?
 
What ever happened to the VAM muffler?  Something like that would be perfect, as it's hanging out in the breeze, so it would get all the cooling airflow it could stand. 
 
Ed Klepeis, didn't you make these, or something similar?  Any ideas, or better yet products to sell :-)
 
Thanks,
Rusty (gotta finish my sump)
 
Rusty,
 
I have a muffler running on my test stand for several hours. It is a tangential expansion type with nothing inside so nothing will come out. I can stand next to the engine running witout the need of ear plugs.
The only critical issue is dimensions, which sometimes go against intuision.
Feel free to copy it.
