The Tiger Stick has a Magnum XLS .52A 2-stroke engine on it that is ...

I am trying to add smoke to a Cub I have with a Magnum 61 2 stroke on
it.  I have poked around looking for smoke mufflers, and I've found
plenty for OS, but I'm not saeeing any for a Magnum.  The engine is
already mouted sideways, and I've got a Pitts-style muffler on it, so

I'm looking for the plans for this kit. I was given the kit (an estate), but

About a year and a half ago I bought a new, game optimized high class
computer system (Dell) mostly for use with R/C flight simulators.  Then
I bought Real Flight's G-3 with add-on packs 1 and 5.  Recently I also
