Smoke in edge...
I've got a TME in my AirWild Edge540T.
I'm using a 1000mah pack, and a 20 oz tank. With the supply line to the muffler pinched down, I get good smoke for about 7 or 8 minutes. Open up the choke on the supply line and you get unbelievably thick smoke for about 3 minutes. I ran the thing in my driveway one day and my neighbors house disappeared, hidden by the smoke...it was cool.
Have any other TME users out there notice any leakage from the pump itself? I pack paper towls in around the pump and change them about twice a flying season...seems to be a little smoke oil coming out of the pump.
I've also noticed that the smoke oil (Super Dri) attacks the rubber in my tail wheel and makes the tail wheel swell up, and eventually the tail wheel will come off the hub during a turnaround after a landing...I'm trying to find a tailwheel that will not be affected by the smoke oil.
