I think I'm repeating myself when I say I'm jealous of your flying field!

Question... Has anyone added a smoke system to the 1.8m yet? I was watching a friend with a Mini T-One and I thought hmmmm...... I sure do like that. Just wondering because I have a Sullivan Skywriter lying around and it is almost winter here. I would love to know your thoughts.

Hello Mike, I´m considering the Pilot 1.8 and would appreciate if you could share wheel dimensions and landing gear length. I already have a set of Electron EV30 and a M70 Turbine for it, kindest regards from Lima-Peru.

About to get the predator airborne after what has been a long time between flights. Thinking of trying out crow. For those using it, how much are you putting in? Would a 1/4” be a good starting point? And does it make a noticeable difference on the landing speed on this jet?

Thanks in advance

That "bounce" is 100% avoidable.
