Simplicity Prevails


I would really like to have the 4 into 1 exhaust on the Skyote but it is just too bulky and heavy for the little Skyote. I managed to fit it all in but it would be difficult to get the cowl off plus the primary pipes were quite close to several important parts of the air frame. Did I mention that it was heavy? So I reverted to a system which is very similar to the set-up used on the O-200 powered Legend Cub. It is simple and sounds pretty good as well.


The finished pipes will be similar to this except the exhaust pipe will be more vertical and near the center. Also, no cabin heat muff.
