Smoke Formula
 

Give me your best! Currently I'm using 50/50 diesel/transmission fluid. It's not very white. Actually it's kind of dingy. I want REALLY white smoke. Whats the best formula?

Andy if you are lucky and find some corvus oil and mix 50/50 with diesel you may be happy. Other than that I stay with airforce 7 and his MDM aviation dry smoke formula. I've try diesel itself and mixed with tranny oil but the best results are with the super dry. Good luck in your recipe.

Super Dri works great for me!!!

RE: Smoke Formula
 

conosol 260, buy it at your local chemical supply, about 6 bucks a gallon

its basically what super dri is

RE: Smoke Formula
 

Well i use 50 % diesel and 50 % summer oil, works really well.:D

RE: Smoke Formula
 

Can you buy the summer oil in the winter??

Seriously, what is summer oil?

RE: Smoke Formula
 

Whats making that glow out the back of your exhausts?

RE: Smoke Formula
 

Super Dri works great for me... 1 jug will last all weekend (15 flights...)


I'd be cautious about what you throw into the exhaust, because some of it will end up in your lungs.......

RE: Smoke Formula
 

how can one jug last 15 flights? Two sprays per flight?

RE: Smoke Formula
 

nope just use it on show center,,,only get 5 minute flights cuz I got more smoke oil than fuel on board...

Sorry, it was only 10 flights... I just checked my logbook........

Hey Paul, all those red LED's look good, but more importantly has it flown yet?

RE: Smoke Formula
 

They look cool don't they.

I will be flying it this week if the weather permits.

Have i met you before ? :)

RE: Smoke Formula
 

Paul those red LEDs are crazy !!

How \ where did you mount them ? they make your F-18 look like it has after burners !

RE: Smoke Formula
 

I have contacted a chemical company on the Conosol 260. I can buy it for $4.37 per gallon in 55 gallon drums. They are sending me a gallon free of charge to test.

Cool, let us know how it goes. A picture would be great too...

RE: Smoke Formula
 

cool yeah superdri and consol are both the same cas numbers and hydrocarbons, they smoke the same to me, probably are exactly the same liquid just resold as superdri

RE: Smoke Formula
 

If you really want to have fun...add a bottle of Brut 33 to one gallon of smoke fluid.

It's always good for a few laughs...

Better yet,

Throw a bottle of Chloe in there and your wife will not believe you've been flying all day. She'll be thumpin on you for being @ the strip club....

RE: Smoke Formula
 

I had a kink in my smoke line, and upped the pump voltage...now a 32 oz tank lasts less than 3 mins.......

That would put me at only 4 flights per jug of super dri, now.........

Yep, at jet action this year. I've got a Rookie 2 with a Jetcat 160 in it.
