Default Smoke question

I have a Carden extra with a 3.2 brison and a slimline smoker muffler. I have just installed a mega smoke system in it. It worked well on the ground but in the air it melted the tygon tube off the nipple on the muffler and sent fluid everywhere. Has anyone experienced this or any advice on the mega smoke with setup, tank size,vent etc would be a great help?

You need to use black neoprene for your connection to the muffler. There are many threads on here regarding this subject - try this one.

Got the tube works a treat. What size tank are you running? they seem to go through the fluid. What is the best fluid I am using 50/50 kero and transmission fluid seems really thick smoke.

I use Super-Dri smoke oil . Doesn't leave an oily mess on my plane. You can try straight diesel fuel. Vic G.
