This is a pirate extra 260. Had for about 4-5 yrs. 102 inch wingspan with 3w70 twin. Very light though. Hangs at about 7 clicks of throttle. Johnson mufflers and simple smoke system. I just put a wheel collar over the line going to the mufflers, and tightend the set screw crushing the hose about half way. I actually used a bolt instead of set screw so as not to put a hole in the line. I dont have any check valves, so when I turn off the smoke it still smokes a little til it burns off. I should probably tighten it a little more, like i said this thing is a mess when I land. especially after hanging on the prop. slimy all over .......

I also have one in my stinger and carden cap. The stinger smokes just as good. I havent turned on the smoke in the cap because its loaded with graphics and decals and I worry about wrecking a good looking plane.
