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: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/sa102-103.php 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 RV-8 #82880 N998RV FWF Starts This Weekend! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:19:44 PM PST US From: christopher johnston Subject: Re: RV8-List: RV Smoke Systems I think lots of people roll their own, but in the absence of that, it seems that many opt for a kit from smokingairplanes. http://www.smokingairplanes.com 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. http://www.smokingairplanes.com/smokingairplanesphotogallery2.htm cj On Aug 5, 2009, at 5:41 PM, Matt Dralle wrote: > > > Dear Listers, > > Last week, someone posted a couple of pictures of 37 RVs flying in > formation at OSH this year.
