>> Steve- Robert H. and I have discussed substitutes for the Texaco Canopus No.> 13oil used for smoke by the airshow folks....and after looking at the chemicalpropertieslisted under Texaco's web page it looks like a close match might be a lightweightmineral oil. You might want to try that if the vegi oil doesn't work.

Oh how sweet it is to get back up in the air. If I had come back to workthis morning without having gone flying this weekend, reading about Dom'sfirst flight and Roberts new plane flights, it would have driven me to getgone to the airport! It is going to be great. Duane and I went upformation for over an hour and I gave him a burst of smoke. You should haveseen him lite up. He thought I was going down! I had told him that Iwanted to do a couple touch and goes before we headed to to sod farm. Hejoined up with me after a round or to, and just as he formed up I hit thesmoke, hesitated and peeled off back toward the airport. He was rightbehind me and sweating for me until I turned it off and straightened out.We flew around west mountain and smoked the fishermen on Utah lake. Landedat our favorite 1600' sod farm between the wheel lines. The grass had beenfresh cut and cast up shallow green clipping roosters as we blasted off.Can't wait to go again.SteveeSteve EldredgeIT ServicesBrigham Young University> -----Original Message-----> Wayne and Kathy> Sent: Friday, April 16, 1999 5:24 PM> To: Pietenpol Discussion> Subject: Re: Wings back on...>>> steve(at)byu.edu wrote:> >> > Nearing the first flights of the spring.

So, let me get this strait, you have no electric system, but you do havethe luxury of a smoke system?!? ;-)You should check with Dick Starks and the gang to see what they use inthier Neiports for smokin'. With the way he writes, I suspect that it maybe Canabus, not Canopus . Thier web page is athttp://www.kcdawnpatrol.org/ and theyt seem to be able to produce quite abut of smoke with the little VW engines.Ken.On Mon, 19 Apr 1999 steve(at)byu.edu wrote:> Oh how sweet it is to get back up in the air.

Isn't it cool! No electrics and smoke! Borrowed the idea from Mike Cuy inusing a manual pump up insecticide spray bottle. Just fill, pump topressurize and connect. Very simple very beautiful.
