Mike Cuy and all.This smoke thing is interesting, but does the smoke have to be kept well clearof the fuse? I'm just assuming that wherever the smoke goes, there's some kindof residue on the plane.I built my pipes out to the side (A-65), and if there were "slime" left, mine wouldbe a mess in no time.thankswaltNX140DL(north N.J.)________________________________________________________________________________

I emailed an aerobatic friend at www.airshowunlimited.com and I am fwd. hisanswer. Hope this might helpBArry , the oil is vaporizing from the heat. It's smoke not fire (unless thebuffoons put gas in it) . if your nozzles are correct the exhaust is just alittle residue . A little coat of PAM cooking spray keeps it easy to cleanup the exhaust area. Jeremy and I have been trying to invent a way to make aheater to make smoke on the wingtips. No luck yet. The idea would probablyinvolve a dyna jet engine with no thrust and good flow and temps. Right nowit is smoke cartridges.Come visit sometime.Best,Chris>>________________________________________________________________________________
