flyerme Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Tim, can you give us a description of your system....are you just pumping it into the exhaust outlet pipe, like they do on ag planes ?.. It's called the " holy smokes system" from Bear Perkins. USA" designed for ultralight use - specifically rotax 2 strokes.

flyerme Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Still need a video Tim!!!!!!!!! Lol will do. Wx crap at present, next flight will film smokey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 The smoke doesn't actually burn. There's no oxygen left in the stuff from the engine. It's vaporised by the heat IF some of it burns in the pipe, it will be blacker. IF it starts to burn outside the pipe YOU might be blacker. I recently saw a pilot smoke the entire strip. The next aircraft nearly could not land as it was getting dark. No wind.... Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerme Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm still yet to fabricate an injector as per advice which improves vaporisation by almost 50%( so I'm told?) ,but I'm pretty happy with the system set up as is.

Pilot Pete Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It looks like you've taken some hits to the engine. You might be up for a forced landing behind enemy lines. Curses to the RED BARRON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
