| Subject: | smoke system for rv7 |
Don,
I, too, have always wanted smoke in my 7 but I went with the Smoking
Airplanes 3.5 gal system. Since my "mission profile" is mainly cross
country with my wife, I have the Classic Aero Designs interior package
complete with baggage compartment carpets, side/rear panels, the works. I
didn't want to have to worry about getting smoke oil all over that nice
carpet plus I didn't want to be carrying the extra weight all the time
(already going to be pretty heavy with full interior and a Subaru engine up
front!) so
I added some nut plates to the baggage compartment floor (a good reason to
fasten the floor with screws rather than pop rivets) and attach the included
brackets to the floor when smoke capability is desired. The smoke hose and
electrical are designed to be easily disconnected so out it will come when
the carpets need to go back in.

gonna do smoke in my -7.
Any reference to a site with a good design for a -7? (I've seen
smokingairplanes.com, which looks like a fantastic kit, but I'm not signing
up for a tank in the baggage area.)
Questions:
- I know there are special hoses for oil, but for the main runs from a
wing tank to the firewall, is aluminum ok? (same tube as for fuel)
- what's the best spot for a p the pump be? mid wing? under the seat
where the oil line comes in?
For electrical
- planning dedicated circuit/breaker, smoke arm and smoke on in panel,
add'l smoke switch in stick.
