Default RE: Airworld Hawk Building thread


ORIGINAL: David Gladwin

Problem about smoke is I know what works in UK (the Reds told me) BUT I need to determine exactly what dye it is in Australia ! My friend who led the Roulettes some years ago here in Australia can't remember the spec. and I need to call the Rouettes at Sale, havent got around to it YET. Patience guys ! What I do know is that the dye expensive !! I do have the new Jetcat smoke pump to try out soon and it looks excellent and can be used with any engine, JetCat or otherwise.

Regards,

David Gladwin.

PS I have just been watching the new Traplet JWM dvd (excellent quality) and as well as the AW Hawk I took a close look at the Hawk of Stephan Volker. To my eyes that Hawk is not quite right somehow, I think it is that the main gear looks to long and dangly, any comments.
i got liters left of the stuff
blue done that
red done that
NEVER touching it again
here is why:

everything around you is blue
if the wind is blown towards spectators or cars they turn blue
your hands stay blue for weeks
they start calling you smurf
you airframe statrts turning blue
everything made of wood absorbs the blue dye
your tires , lawn

i also design smoke systems
i use no secret : bio diesel
it will be a big fat white smoke trail over one meter column if injeted properly
the stuff is bio degradeble so it can also be washed of with water
