Smoke
 

Heres a question....


I was yipping with my buddies at work today, telling them i bought me a rc airplane finally and plan on gettin into the hobby, and the question came up. They asked me if you can sky wrote with an rc. The thought never even occured to me, but now im really curious myself.

So, whats the deal?

RE: Smoke
 

Smoke oil pumps are usually added to larger aircraft (.90-size +) equipped with 4-stroke engines. The larger airframe size helps absorb the added weight of the smoke oil and smoke oil pump without making the plane too heavy. The 4-stroke engine is required to create hot enough exhaust to activate the smoke oil, 2-strokes tend to run at a cooler operating temperature.

I'd save skywriting attempts for your third or fourth plane, it's quite possible but it isn't for beginners.

indeed. Was curious about it is all. But now that u mention it, i just might make that a goal for my third or fourth plane. ^^
