How big of a smoke tank for a 160-210 size turbine
I'm rebuilding a lightly crashed Avation Diamond. I'm currently building my fuel tanks and I'm copying the originals just a few oz bigger.
So im try to build the smoke tank but I'm trying to decide between building a 40oz or 50oz smoke tank.
So my question how big of a smoke tank would you want for a 160-210 size turbine? Thanks

There is no relation between the size of the smoke tank and the size of the turbine. It really depends on how much room you have for a smoke tank. I have a 120 turbine with a 48oz smoke tank. Also I want thick smoke so I have the smoke turned up as fast as it will run. Also running two sticks

Go with the 50oz Mike. Bob-o's right about the size of the engine not really being a factor.

On my new Natrix, I'm running just one of Dreamworks "Super Stick" injectors with a JetCat smoke pump. The set up puts out great smoke (Super Dri oil) but after about 70% throw the smoke does not noticeably increase. I now have it set to 70% at full throw and manage to get longer burns per/flight. I haven't timed it but I guess I'm getting 4 minutes or so of smoke with about 50oz of oil.
