As a side note, slightly off topic, but wanting to give credit where due.
That pile of "stuff" on top of the canopy is a homemade smoke system based on the principles MinnFlyer discusses in his excellent [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=455]Got Smoke?[/link] article. It has served me quite well in two previous gassers (a US 41 and G62) and will find a new home in the Edge.
It's made from a simple windshield washer pump, micro servo, and common RC switch, cost < $30 to put together, and smokes like a freight train.
