Default Adding a smoke system???

the smell afterwards is the only problem i encoutned.

other flyers comments below:

I've used diesel fuel, mixed with Marvel Mystery oil with good success.
About one gal of fuel with 4 or 5 oz of MMO. Not too hard to clean up,
either.

almag, with a little marvel mistry oil mixed in.

1 agree . After trying every available product and a number of
concoctions, ALMAG produces the most volume with the longest hang-time.
Significant increase in hang-time can be had when gasoline is added. The
longer the mixture is allowed to sit and "ferment" the better the
smoldering process, and the longer the hang-time. Nothing like burying
an aerobat...especially when the sound goes away (denser - significantly
absorbs the exhaust note)!

ALMAG. And if it needs a little thinning, use mineral spirits.
Diesel
fuel will give the smoke a gray color.


that looks like a rich engine.... Try some straight liquid paraffin if you
want some real smoke!!!
And leaves no mess like that stuff does!!

Where do u find liquid paraffin???

at a restaurant supply store, I had Astrohog get it for me, the stuff is
like $7 per gallon, and leaves no residue on the plane, and has awesome
white puffy smoke!
