80" Cap 232, Moki 210 and Smoke. Thought I would share.(pics)
Hey all,
Just thought I would share some pics with ya. It's my Cap 232 , Moki 210 with smoke. It took a bit of work to get the smoke to work like I wanted but as you can see it's working now.
Enjoy!
Ken

Other than being a great flying plane, it has the absolute best smoke system I've seen. I don't know what any of the particulars are, just that it flys great and smokes awesome.

Hey Gary,
It's a Model America ARC(I think) or RC America ARC somthing like that. Maybe Rthorne will chime in here and remind me.
They are not around any more. I have been told that it is the same as the Midwest Cap 232 but don't qoute me on that. A buddy of mine built it and then decided to do somthing else. So I got a heck of a deal.
It has taken me a couple of months to get the smoke system working right. It's a TME simple smoke pump with 24 oz tank on the CG. A home made pre heater coils on the muffler a Fox remote needle valve to control the amount of smoke fluid. The best I can tell I'm using about 5.5 to 6 oz of smoke fluid per minute.
Chuck,
Thanks for ego boost. I sure do like flying it and that Moki is finally coming around so that makes it even better.
later, Ken

nice pics!!
I gonna be building the old H9 CAP with a Moki 2.10 myself. I was looking at the TME smoke system also but dont know enough about them to worry about them
Need to learn what the pre-heating buisness is all about!

Hey Minnflyer,
Sorry I took so long to get back to ya.
It's the Super Dri Brand smoke oil. It's the only smoke my LHS carries and the only smoke oil I have ever used. It works well but I can't compare it to anything else since I haven't used anthing else.
Clean up is easy and it doesn't seem to leave too much of a mess..

They settled, and continued to produce them in Mexico.
There was a difference between the two, the RC America had an airfoil shaped stab, and the Midwest didn't. It used a slab stab. Midwest had a problem with them breaking off too. I'm not sure what the solution was to that problem.
Other than that difference, they were hard to tell apart.
You are correct in that it was offered as an ARC around 1997~1998.
I had one done up in the Breitling scheme (yellow and blue) and had a SAITO 300 twin in it.
It was a real sweet flier. I eventually sold mine to a fellow club member who still flies her.

I am curious about your smoke. I have a Moki 1.8 in an Edge. I would have never thought that the muffler could get hot enough for smoke. Are you injecting smoke oil right into a Pitts style muffler?
