My smoke system on my Legal Eagle is fully opperational! the only issue being that I burned through a gallon of diesel in 3 passes! I will have to resetrict the flow of the diesel through the injector in the muffler.

here is a link to some video of my first smoke pass, normally make my passes a little lower but as it was the first aerial test of the system I wanted a little extra altitude just in cas it abnormally affected the engine.

was a blast seeing you guys smoke the field.  The advice I got tonight got my tail wheel up in the air and gave me a boost of confidence.  One more small step in the ladder to the air.


The light at the end of the tunnel has been sold to China, if you need the light at the end of the tunnel please send 100 Yen.

Pretty cool.  Does it leave a residue on the plane?

Doug,
As far as I can tell it is not leaving any residue on the plane however I will continue to monitor for this on my next couple of passes.
