Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: SmokeDave:You can contact Chunk or wait for my video. I interviewed Chuck and one of the segments included how he installed his smoke system. My video won't be readyfor a long time because I have a lot more shooting to do, but Chuck is a real easy-going down to earth guy and smart as a Rhodes Scholar. His system in neat.Also Mike Cuy has a system. I haven't seen it but it is different from Chuck's________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks, Gary. That was a very peaceful evening. For those who don't care for the music, there is a "naked" version at:http://youtu.be/byXrhoBYfHg?list=UUSToJ ... AkowDQIt's too bad that there's so much jitter on the tail-mounted camera. I guess I'llgo back to using the PVC "boom" on the left wing.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Smoke

You=99ll have to beat it out of me, Ray, =98cause the plans are in my head!...but here are some picsThe tank is just a basic windshield washer tank with motor. It may be for a Toyota. I have =C2=BC=9D aluminum tube from the exhaust, through the firewall, then clear tubing to the tank, located in the forward baggage area. ON/OFF switch is at the panel. Picture #007 shows the small irrigation line valve. I can only adjust by trial & error.Gary BootheNX308MB

Thanks, Gary! I guess we won't have to go through the beating process. I will save the pics with your notes for future reference. I'm sure this is something I will want to do. One of the crop dusters here in Colusa has smoke on his plane and uses it a lot to let us know where he is in the pattern. He uses unusual patterns and we all accommodate him because he is making money, we are just playing and we can easily see him. He monitors the radio and announces (very unusual for dusters), then gives a puff of smoke and we tell him to go ahead of us. Really a nice way to operate.Thanks,RaySent from my iPad> On Sep 1, 2014, at 5:24 AM, "Gary Boothe" wrote:> > You=99ll have to beat it out of me, Ray, =98cause the plans are in my head!...but here are some pics> > The tank is just a basic windshield washer tank with motor.
