Hi together,

Well, over the winter months I spent some thoughts on the possibility to install a smoke system to my JMP Firebird.
I came to the conclusion that it is doable on my personal one since I have a just barely transparent canopy !
As usual, I found the stuff required at some well known US-suppliers :

-customized kevlar tank ( around 55oz ) from jettech ( Gary Mueller )
-embeded UAT from JMP ( Tom Cook )
-brushless smoke pump ( running at 6V directly from the weatronic receiver ) from Chance Harris

The install was easily accomplished and now I hope that the Super-dry will vaporize nicely even though I inject at the end of the thrust pipe !
The two stainless steel tubes (4mm) are routed between the inner and outer walls of the thrust tube to get some preheat to that fluid.
Furthermore I am pretty convinced that my AMT Olympus fills this thrust tube with a lot of hot gas when beeing above 50% power !

Only inflight experience will tell the final verdict !
I keep you informed about this

Hans

You won,t have any problems with the smoke injecting at the back of the tail pipe. my friends BD with a single smoke tube down a 24 inch tail pipe Has plenty of smoke. Also I have an f-15 with a single tube and it smokes great..

Good Luck

Here is my BD-5 with the copper tube running between the dual wall exhuast, 24" long exhuast pipe. I also use cement mold release from fastenal for smoke fuild.

Hi,
That looks perfect !!
So, hopefully it will work on my ship as well !!

Zagzoo

Is this what you are using for smoke oil?

That is what Zagzoo and I use. I believe it is called Corbasole Oil. Know as Form Release oil. We purchase it from our local concrete Co. At about $45.00 for a 5 gallon pale.
