Hello all,

I have been contemplating putting a smoke system on some of my airplanes. I have one that I can use for a trial set up. It has a fairly light wing loading and could handle the extra weight just fine.

I guess my only question is how to connect the pump to the muffler. I am using an os 65ax. Do I need to get a new muffler, or is there a kit to tap a nipple into the exhaust? Second, what part of the muffler does the nipple go into, right next to the motor, or in the middle of the muffler?

Also, is their a special tubing that I need to be using?

Do a search here on RCU for an article written by Minnflyer. It is called Smoke On and it contains all the info you might need. Good Luck, Dave

Read the article, did more research and have another question.

Is it true that using a smoke system will raise the engine temp and can create a lean condition?
