Default Smoke Formula

Give me your best! Currently I'm using 50/50 diesel/transmission fluid. It's not very white. Actually it's kind of dingy. I want REALLY white smoke. Whats the best formula?

Andy if you are lucky and find some corvus oil and mix 50/50 with diesel you may be happy. Other than that I stay with airforce 7 and his MDM aviation dry smoke formula. I've try diesel itself and mixed with tranny oil but the best results are with the super dry. Good luck in your recipe.

Super Dri works great for me... 1 jug will last all weekend (15 flights...)


I'd be cautious about what you throw into the exhaust, because some of it will end up in your lungs.......

I have contacted a chemical company on the Conosol 260. I can buy it for $4.37 per gallon in 55 gallon drums. They are sending me a gallon free of charge to test.

If you really want to have fun...add a bottle of Brut 33 to one gallon of smoke fluid.

It's always good for a few laughs...

I had a kink in my smoke line, and upped the pump voltage...now a 32 oz tank lasts less than 3 mins.......

That would put me at only 4 flights per jug of super dri, now.........
