Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hey, that's actually very helpful, thank you Bob. 15 extra ounces of fuel - I'll expect 2 extra minutes or so on the safe side rather than a bit more I was expecting. I have to admit I'm a little bummed I'll only get two minutes more for a tank swap out - but, in the end, that's several more laps, rolls, passes, etc per launch. It's still a go I suppose

Tommy and causeitflies thanks for the recount of the tank install.

Roy, I like your "Smoke Boat"

Do you have any pictures of the mount? I'm very interested in your equipment layout too - I assume the pump has it's own battery in the "boat", but how is everything plumbed? How do you get the smoke oil to the turbine exhaust? I like the idea of a completely self contained, removable assembly. Save the weight for when you want to lay down smoke, and fly light and clean when you don't.
