At least during your early flight testing. That is all I've ever used and it is bulletproof. I just passed 560 hours TT. Experiment with mufflers later. I'm happy to just continue using the stock manifold because it is worry-free. Broken exhaust systems aren't good on pushers! Richard Sohn: what is the status of your 1-rotor? There is a guy at my home field building a Fisher plane, don't know the model name. It requires two 60 HP engines, he was inquiring about the rotary. I told him it wouldn't work unless he used one-rotor engines with aluminum side housings. Perry
