RE: GP <span class=
Booker RCU Glad to hear your wiring idea worked out. I thought about doing this, but decided to just use the extensions throught the wings. Mine weighs out at 18 lbs also. Just finished her today. Hope to do the maiden next weekend.
Goldwing RCU, I mounted a Simple Smoke system by making a mounting try out of thin ply. I put the tank and the pump on the tray. I then used epoxy to mount four short wood strips to the fuse stringers. Then put four #4 socket head screws in to secure. Mounted just aft of the fuel tank. I used the same system on Pitts I and then transfered the tray to Pitts II. This worked great on my last Pitts. This time I used a 24 oz tank vs a 20 oz. The 20 oz. just ran dry too fast. The pictures below are from Pitts I. On Pitts II I mounted the same way, but put the battery down in the fuse and used a 24 oz. tank. Same position, but mounted the tank a bit more forward with the 24 oz. tank.
