Default Trailing smoke

Hi,

I am new to turbines and am flying a P120. So far I have done about 15 flights with no issues, but in some conditions when I go to idle my plane leaves a traling smoke but the turbine does not stop. Is this normal or shoud I be concerned about it?

Thank you for your advise.

Go to the Turbine Clinic JetCat forum and you will see it has been asked many times, including by myself, if its white do not worry about it, normal after an idle situation during flight.

I don't think so, the smoke was not pink.
