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.

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. ****************************************** Don Hall N517DG (registered) rv7 fuselage http://rv7.donka.net ****************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv7-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV7-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv7-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv7-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
