Smoker in Pitts with DA-50-R
Hello,
i´m just planning a smoker in my greatplanes pitts with DA-50R and BCM Pitts Style Smoker Muffler, but i don´t know which system i should use.
The Problem i have that i wouldn´´t smoke that often and therefore want a very lightweight system. What about the Perrypump Systems ? Which one will work best ? The Regulating or Oscillating (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTU96&P=7 , http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTU95&P=7 for example). I would of course like most to not make any wholes into my new engine and take the oscillating version and mount it direct on the engine (hydromounted). But does this sollution is OK ?
Regards
Comde

Hey I'm a rookie here but, I looked at a bunch of these systems and they all seemed overly complicated.
extra servo, linkage, extra hoses, etc.
I went with the Deluxe TME system that plugs directly into an open receiver channel and a 250ma receiver battery to run it.
(I think EVERYONE will advise against running your smoke pump off of you receiver batt.)

-and a 6 Oz. dubro tank with the gas/smoke stopper. Though a tight squezze, all in all an absolute snap to install.
Ship: GP.40 CAP with .91 fs. -Yea that's right a smoke system in a .40 Cap.
Thrust to weight- no issue with this engine and very little AUW gain and kept it at CG. She still floats in like a trainer.
The result was a very compact instl that has worked perfectly and creates incredible abouts of smoke for a glow engine.
The four stroke part helps as the exhaust is hotter. Your gasser will smoke you off the field with this set up.
Though with that large a plane you may want to increase the tank size as well as the battery capacity for the smoke system
for longer smoke times.
I have another tip for this system, If you choose it, that does away with the somewhat unreliable pressure regulator.
I would be happy to help.

RE: Smoker in Pitts with DA-50-R
what were you saying about doing away with the pressure regulator? I am fixing to install this on my shoestring with a saito 91. I also need all the help I can get.
