RE: smokin it!!
It's pretty hard to beat Super Dri sold through tower hobbies. You can get it in a 5 gal. bucket for around $50 and they only charge you standard shipping!

RE: smokin it!!
Gents great pix. I'm enjoying my smokin' Boomer also.
In an effort to maximize my smoke to $$ ratio I re-read the various threads on smoke oil mixtures. Diesel / ATF, Diesel / Corvus oil etc etc in a 1:1 mix seemed to be the consensus in all threads.
For one stop shopping, Super Dri in a 5 gallon pail is the way to go. However the various threads on smoke oil mixes got me thinking and so I put the pen to paper and discovered for my installation:
I can get 15 flights out of a 5 gallon pail. 40oz a flight or...
I can get 30 flights with a 5 gallon pail of concrete form release oil (corvus oil) when mixed 1:1 with Diesel. both 5 gallon buckets are priced within a $$ of each other
As long as you don't mind mixing your own smoke oil the 50:50 mix works well and allows you to maximize your smoke - flight ratio.

RE: smokin it!!
Does anyone know where to get the corvus oil? chevron/texaco canopus 13?
I have called and visited a few hardware and concrete stores and they just give me the look like i am crazy. They have never heard of it.
if someone has a link or knows where to obtain it it would be greatly appreciated.

you could probably get started with this location in Fort worth. perhaps they can ship or recommend possible locations in your area.
Supply Depot
817-581-1344
M-F 7-5
Ask for the oil base concrete form release oil 49.25
I dealt with Mike (I forget his last name) very helpful

You can order Super Dri via Tower Hobbies or perhaps Al's Hobbies???
