Sorry for the delay,

I'll post some photos of the smoke set up for you tonight. I think it works pretty well and you can set it up to sit over the CG. As it turns out I'm a little tail heavy! It's a little tough on take off but in the air it is sweet and the landings are smooth and slow with no bounce. I was always told that "nose heavy flies and tail heavy dies" but it's not too far off.... maybe a 1/4 inch.

I tapped a nipple on upper bevel on the muffler of an OS 120. It is close to the header pipe and it appears to put out some heat. I'm running 30% and thought about wrapping the header with copper tubing as a preheater... did not because I of lack of tube. All in all it gets hot enough to make smoke and it was quick cheep and easy.

My club is having a FUN FLY on Sunday. You are more than welcome to join us! Send me an e-mail if your interested.
