| Subject: | RV Smoke Systems |
Dear Listers,
Last week, someone posted a couple of pictures of 37 RVs flying in formation at
OSH this year. Very cool, btw. But what caught my eye was how many of them
had smoke systems installed. I found the following at ACS which looks interesting,
but kind of big for an RV-8:

Is this what people are using?
Where would one mount this system in an RV-8? Behind the baggage area? In the
engine compartment?
Seems really cool to have one of these systems, but are they just a big pain in
the ass to maintain?
Thanks for the thoughts,
Matt Dralle

I think lots of people roll their own, but in the absence of that, it
seems that many opt for a kit from smokingairplanes.

They have pictures of a few different installations here, including on
the forward baggage shelf of an RV8. Seems like a pretty good place
for it.
