Weight of Smoke Setup

My Feedback: (25)
I'm thinking about putting a smoke setup in a plane of mine. the unit I am thinking about weighs 7oz for the complete unit not counting the tank. This seems a lot to me, being half a pound and all. Do any of you with Smoke, know what your unit weighs? And are you happy with it?

Splais, they run from 2 to about 10 ounces plus the tank and fluid depending on the system. The lightest are the ones that use crankcase pressure direct to the tank with only a check valve and a line pinch. Next comes the crankcase to pump style {like the Perry}. The heaviest are the electric motor driven pumps and they can get real heavy if they need a dedicated battery. They can all be made to work well with time and tinkering, the most common mistake being too much fluid flow. Unfortunatly they become more reliable and easier to set up as they get heavier.
