I don't think there's very many trainers with the room capacity in the fuse for smoke. There is a great thread on here for smoke, I'll have to beg your pardon and ask Minnflyer to post it for you that explains how to setup a smoke system. I too have been looking to setup smoke in an airplane of my own. Haven't done it yet, waiting on a Goldberg Ultimate to be built, that one's getting smoke!!!

Pretty impractical with small glow engines to get a meaningful smoke trail but here is an effective method.

True, small 2-strokes are not known for making good smoke.

Here's an article that tells the whole story (Or, most of it anyway)

how would you light the smoke bomb type thing? Or do you just do it on the ground

You could do it on the ground, or use an electronic model rocket igniter (do a google search for Estes Rockets)
