Default slimline skywritter smoke pump ???

There are a couple of us in our club that are using the skywriter smoke pump. These are new installs in each of our planes. We did not install them together. We didn't even know the other one was doin so.

Question being....Why would it not work at full throttle? I have the flow at 100%. Smokes like a train at half but goes away advancing to full.



Thanks
Scott

its been a long time since I entered the mix into my radio, but in your case it sounds like 100% is at midstick travel, closely check your radio mix, just a few clicks should straighten that out.
which radio?

dx18. I'll check that out but slimline states that anything over 100% is not going to make the motor run any faster. It probably is something crazy like that. This is a new radio in this plane. Was running a 10x converted to 2.4 with a modual. I wanted a built in system so I went with the DX18.
Thanks
