I have an O-320-E2D sitting out in my garage, to be bolted to the nose of my Wittman Tailwind W10. It's out ofa '67 Cessna 172. Do you know what engines are effected ?Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________

Technically you're right but to be able to say for a FUN flight, you must have a full container of smoke oil on takeoff. Puff once before takeoff just before you putout the leading edge slats and 20 degrees of flaps, okay ?
)) Mike C.Yep, and for safety sake, I always give a few puffs when entering the pattern, or crossing over any thresholds of any airport, or in the vicinity, orwhen I see other planes in the sky. However, the Smokin' Take Off always looks cool when I turn around to see the vorticies curling up !! I think Smoke oil inthe tank rates up close there to Fuel in the tank !!Hey Oscar, that Boarder Patrol sounds like a Great idea !!Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________
