it works . . .and works very, very well. Bill Hatcher and I (at my insistance) have installed this system on each and every jet that leaves his shop. To name a few, 2 large Futura Jets, 2 small Futura Jets, CARF Tutor, DJM Vampire, CARF Ultra Flash and so on.

Pre heating is not necessary as this is accomplished by running the stainless steel tubing down the pipe between the inner and outer pipe walls. We use the 10 o'clock and 2 O'clock positions or the 9 - 3 positions. The ends of the nozzles are compressed almost flat as they would be in standard smoke nozzles.

The smoke put out is equal to or greater than spray bars inside the jet just aft of the turbine nozzle. . .and the big benefit is SAFETY ! No more chance of smoke oil fires due to residual drip inside the bellmouth assembly. I have witnessed more than one jet flame out during a smoke on pass. The pilot forgets to turn off the smoke pump, maintaining his focus on landing the plane. Smoke oil ignites and is being fed by a full flow of oil. You know the rest.

Try this system. . .you will never go back to internal smoke systems again.

I will ask Bill to post some pictures
