Anybody try the Mega Smoke Plus from RC Showcase? $88.00 with an Opto Ignition Switch wired in. Here's a link. [link]http://www.rcshowcase.com/html/accessories/smokepumps.html[/link]

How would you set up a variable output smoke pump for a JR 10X??? What I want is less smoke fluid at lower RPM's and more smoke fluid at full throttle. I want to mix channel six (flap) to the throttle and use the Mix switch on the upper right hand corner to turn the smoke pump on and off...

Thanks!!! Kevin

Any comments on the use of a 50/50 mix of diesel and kerosene for smoke oil?
I have some not-to-old diesel and Kerosene that I would like to discard or try as smoke oil.

I have been using %20-25 Kerosen and %75-80 Diesel since years. And having very clear steady white smoke.
Good luck.

I put some super-dri through the GCMS and it contained med chain hydrocarbon mix just like it sez on its MSDS. Parrafin has a VERY similar composition. I have gone away from smoke but would like to try lard with a little a little hexane to liquefy it.

The problem with kero, diesel etc is they contain too many benzene containing molecules which dont burn too well, hence the slime.

The slime sucks. That's why I haven't been using the smoke for a while.
