LOTS OF SMOKE WITH HALF THE OIL!
Just installed the new "ultra spray smoke tube" from Tamjets and I am getting the same amount of smoke as before but using about half as much super dry smoke juice! On my last hornet I ran the Tamjets smoke pump at 100% to get TONS of smoke on the old smoke stick but now I can tune it down to less than 50%. I can't tell a difference on the density, in fact I was reminded to turn smoke off after a low pass before turning so I can see the jet....AHHHHH, I hate not being able to see my jet! Anyway, with smoke oil prices on the rise...I'm all about saving some smoke oil cash!
I also only used one stick on the F-18 going straight off the top of the turbine. Equal amounts of smoke came out of the pipes. http://www.tamjets.com/original/prod...roducts_id=718 |

Cool
I will have to look into this, I was only able to cram in 28 oz of smoke tanks into my R54 w/P70<br type="_moz"/> |
RE: LOTS OF SMOKE WITH HALF THE OIL!
I had a 40 ounce tank in my other F-18. I put two 15 ounce tanks in this F-18 and I didn't even use all the smoke oil!

RE: LOTS OF SMOKE WITH HALF THE OIL!
28 ounce is more than enough.

I bought that smoke tube from Dreamworks for my CARF Hawk, figures Tam made it! Haven't used it yet but I guess I can expect it to work well with the Sullivan Pump I bought. Thanks

Any pics of it airborne?

RE: LOTS OF SMOKE WITH HALF THE OIL!
No. I went flying with my 4 year old and he isn't too good with the camera yet. :) Next time I will try to get some pics. I will post an install pic later tonight.

RE: LOTS OF SMOKE WITH HALF THE OIL!
Where are you flying Russ? There are a few turbine heads near me these days and we are sometimes looking to make field trips to Nor Cal.

RE: LOTS OF SMOKE WITH HALF THE OIL!
Anyone use Sullivan Skywriter with these new sticks yet.
I have a Skywriter but not sure if I should get a JetCat / Evojet / or Powerbox pump because I think they can push more pressure. Not sure if the Skywriter will have enough pressure to give a good spray instead of stream with these smoke sticks. Can't get any info on what pressure the Skywriter can make. Have 36 oz's on board. Thanks, Tom |

Eddie,
It has been a long time. How is the A4? Man that thing is pretty! I do a little flying at Tracy Skyliners just out of Tracy. I also do some flying with Tam at the Hollister field but it is only about 500 feet long I think. The Flash does fine but the A4 with the P60 likes to use the whole thing on take off. :D |

Well time to put the P-100 in the Blue Angel A-4 and new smoke stick. Hollister no problem. Weather get warmer and free up some my busy weekend party. We should fly more often.

I installed my new Smoke stick in the Ultra Flash today. Smoke was excellent even with my crappy home made smoke oil. I have one more stick to install in my Hawk next.
Next week I will run Super Dri at the Coachella Monster Jet Jam. With the powerbox smoke pump I had good smoke at half speed. I am sure I will end up dropping the the max speed of the pump. Sorry Tam, no pictures. |
RE: LOTS OF SMOKE WITH HALF THE OIL!
Russ, thanks man let's try to do some Nor Cal flying soon with all you Norcal guys. Tracy Skyliners - I think I've flown there before, it's the unused runway extension or something?
I've got a new external smoke tank setup for the A-4 - not quite finished yet but nearly done. With Tam's smoke pump. But I'd like to use the TJ smoke tube as I really don't have too much smoke, only about 20 ounces including smoke header tank and old school that was about 1.5 minutes flat out I think. If I could get 2 or 3 minutes that would be very good. |

I think you will be fine with the 20 ounce. Here is how I put it in...I just bent the tube down after the turbine so the tip is in the center of the exhaust. |

Has anyone used the Dreamworks Smoke tube and found the same fuel saving result.

<div></div><div>Hi Tam
I like the look of your new smoke injector sticks, is there someone in the UK distributing them?</div><div>I'm guessing if I order it direct its an odd shape to pack or can it be bent and then straighted after its here.</div><div>I'm very restricted as to how much fluid I can carry in one of your F16 with a Wren 44 so more smoke from less fluid would be handy. </div><div>The "sticks" seem quite long are you mounting the nozzle near the cone or a ways down the tailpipe</div><div>Also looking at the pic there seems to be a small extension on the end, which way are you facing the nozzle</div><div>Thanks if your able to help <font face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">Regards Mark </font></div> |
