Each tank is 11oz so 22oz total. I'm using a Swiwin smoke pump that maxes out at 620ml/min.
22oz = 650ml so just over a minute of smoke full out but expect to get a bit more as I don't typically run the smoke pump wide open

I'm questioning your 67mm measurement, I get 50mm, have you flown it with this CG?

Definitely use your own numbers, we are most likely using different gear. I always double check with a mechanical CG checker. My numbers are good for my plane.

Maidened my BDXs that I got from qcsteve last weekend. Flew fantastic and looking forward to taking it up again this weekend. Im new on here so cant post pics or videos yet but when able, Ill put some up. I also made a custom smoke tank for it that mounts under the turbine like the larger BDX.

Maiden day went well. This is my first flight after a trim flight by my friend Chris--I've only been flying a Rebel Max so this landing was not good! The second flight video will be up in a day or so and I'll share it. Please like and subscribe to my fellow club mate's channel it helps a lot.

What kind of flight times are everyone getting? Im running a Swiwin 120 and get around 6.5-7 mins depending on how I fly. Ive got my timer set to start when the throttle is over 5% and have fuel readouts through my radio. Just curious what others are seeing
