Most definitely does explain things, thanks for that!

How much smoke time do you get with 24 ounces? Great work on your setup!

The turbine pump I am using will pump as much as 15 oz. a min at 7 volts so a 24 oz. tank will last less than a couple of minutes. I have the pump set up on a slider switch on my transmitter to vary the voltage so it will pump as slow as a couple oz. a minute which gives a light density smoke. A few clicks more and I can get a medium density smoke and of course at full voltage, it makes a lot of smoke. I have the same set up on my Big Boomer, most of my flights last 6 to 9 min and I have smoke on at least half the flight. I have been using SuperDri but I just bought a 5 gal. can of Freedom Form Release Oil to try. I always try to empty the smoke tank prior to landing so I don't have excess weight on board.
