Status: offline 		most will say mdw superdri is the best but it's pricey.
robart has some that is good, corvis oil is awesome, concrete form release works great and not too pricey

Status: offline 		Check it out:

http://www.smokingairplanes.com/smoke-oil.php

Shipping to the east coast would be high, but the MSDS link shows the ingredients of their product - looks like plain mineral oil - the guy at smokingplanes said it was parrafin based mineral oil, with a small additive he said wasn't necessary. He suggested checking with local oil distributors to source it.

Be sure to check the MSDS of anything you plan to use - some stuff can be highly carcinogenic when burned.

Status: offline 		Is diesel still ama legal? I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it. That is what I have used., it works great for me -at $4 a gallon, on the way to the field.
But I may try some fragrance oil from wallmart to mix with it, just for the smell.
Anybody tried any used french fry oil from a restaurant?
If it worked it would be a "green thing"!
and make everybody hungry at your fly-ins.

Status: offline 		I've used diesel, but it does not really produce the volume of smoke that SD does, and it stinks if you get a lung full after someone does a low pass smoke on............

There are lots of home brew recipes out there, but I prefer super dri myself. It's expensive, but the results are worth it...

This is super dri on a single injector tube behind a Titan SE:

I agree Wayne.

You don't get awards like this using Robart oil....

Status: offline 		Super Dri produces great smoke or sure... Still a rip at a buck n a quarter for 5g IMO.. The ROBART sky smoke in a nutshell was a waste of $$.. Thin grey looking trail at high speed but not bad if you are going to be putting around.
