I would like to put a smoke system on my P-51 that has a KNIGHT 100, can someone send me a link to which one is a really good one too use? This is my first smoke system and would love to put one on my Alpha trainer and pulse XT when I get it, now I am new to smoke systems and the RC hobby ( Planes) in general, how much can I expect to pay for a smoke system for a 100 Knight 4 stroke and do smoke systems only work on 4 strokes or 2 strokes? ALso how exactly do they and where do they mount too? Thanks alot and sorry for another smoke system question.

Jacked69 -

I'm in the same boat as you. I just bought an OS 91 Surpass and did some research into smoke systems as well. I went with a [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGVU1&P=ML]TME SmartSmoker[/link]. I haven't used it but from all things I read it was quite reliable and very competitive for pricing compared to the Sullivan brands: around $100 (ave. price) I went a bit higher in quality as this is an investment for me not a toy (I plan on using it in a 28% Extra in the coming years).

As for the 4-stroke/ 2-stroke - from what I know your best bet is a 4-stroke because they produce more of the heat you'll need to get a good smoke cloud: so i've been told. But the bottom line is - the more heat, the better smoke - regardless of engine type. Also, how you install the smoker to the engine can be done with a [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLDR6&P=7]Smoke Muffler[/link] which pre-heats the smoke liquid.

[link=http://www.tmenet.com/smartsmoker.htm]TME's website[/link] has great info on how to install and use their product (better then the others), that's why I went with them. But again, I haven't installed mine yet - it's my winter project.

There are plenty of smoke pumps, etc... but the most important factor is how WELL the muffler retains heat particularly after the smoke fluid is applied.

Regular mufflers tend to cool off quickly once the smoke fluid is introduced, producing low volume smoke in the air...

Is a Knight 100 a Saito 100 ? Just wondering.

More than likely he is talking about the golden knight which is made by saito.

BTW: Wouldn't a smoke system on a Mustang make it look like it just got shot by a messerschmit?

LOL Brett that was good, it is a golden knight 100 series. Actually the smoke will look like its pulling away from the messerschmit like a corvette pulling away from a ford focus LMAO. Good one though LOL.....
