Global warming ( which USA politicians are now accepting I believe - cant
but help notice NY + 20' in January !!) will produce coloured smoke when a
low sun gets refracted by the pollution/ carbon partials in the atmosphere.
You can see this effect in a couple of the shots taken as the sun was
setting at Old Warden, UK.
The only other way a piston a/c can produce colored smoke is pyrotechnics.
If dye like used in jet a/c was used the whole a/c would be seriously and
irrevocably colored ! I believe the dyes used by jet a/c are biro inks and
the crews use full NBC suits when handling them. (In UK at least)
BTW you can make your smoke smell nice if needs be without detriment to the
a/c or pilot. :-)
Happy new year to all. Mj

Colored Smoke
Just curious, is anyone aware of a smoke oil that will produce a color
other
than white?

My version cuts off after about 1/3 of the play time. Any ideas why?
Good video though! At least for the part that I got to see.

Blitz is right here, I did a bit of research the last time this
question came up and found that most colored smoke was generated
through a type of smoke flare or chemical additives that are harmful
to the aircraft.

Both the Snowbirds and the Nothernlights experimented with color. The
simpler solution they found was to add a specific dye (don't know any more
details) to the smoke oil. Unfortunately, this dye has a tendency to clog
the nozzles to a point where it may need to be cleaned after each show. Both
continued with white smoke.

Julie Clark also uses it.
At the air show convention this year I heard that someone actually has
actual smoke that is colored for sale that comes out of the exhaust. They
may have a patent on it. I didn't pay much attention, so someone that was
there may know and I will make a few phone calls. I have also heard that
whatever is used is not good for the airplane, but this guy may have
something I've never heard of or seen before.
But on a personal note...colored smoke is as dramatic as white and not as
easy to see.

RPA Members, I have some items that may be of interest, and are for sale off
list. Have recently had Dennis install his auto plug conversion. Also, an
avionics upgrade at Gulf Coast Avionics. All of the items listed were
removed in proper working order when removed.
1. Dennis removed the entire Russian ignition harness, carb horns for
carb heat.
2. Two complete sets (18) Russian spark plugs. Each set has about 200
hours. They have been cleaned and gapped.
3. The below items removed by Gulf Coast from my 2000 Yak-52W.
a. Intervox Intercom voice actuated intercom. Serial #17388.
b. Mid-Contenent Instruments quartz electric clock. S/N K99736.
c. Cockpit instrument (red-white) 28 volt light, with coiled flexible
cord.
d. Vertical Speed 3 1/2" instrument. 0-2000,' UMA P/N 8-310-20.
e. Electric Gyro Corporation Turn Coordinator, 3 1/2," Model
1394-T-100-72, S/N 9811-151.
f. Front cockpit overhead magnetic compass.
Some of you may remember my 2/3 scale P-51, which is now on display at the
Valiant Air Command at Space Coast Air Port. These instruments were working
when removed five years ago, but have not been checked out recently.
1. UMA oil pressure sender. 0-150 psi. P/N A2330
2. UMA VDO, P/N 1E3, S/N A1376.
4. AmeriKing ELT model AK-350, 1,000-30,000. S/N H3529-851 13.8-27.5
Volts.
5. Grimes Cockpit Utility Light, 15-000743.
6. ICS Nav-Com-Vor radio. 720 channel and all Vor frequencies.
The P-51 was built at Edwards AFB by two engineers who were working on the
X-Plane series. They made everything by hand, without any plans from
1964-1978. These instruments were removed after I purchased the plane from an
Air
Force pilot. Since they have radium dials, the rebuild shops would not touch
them. They can make a nice trophy place, or a paper weight. They were
removed from various military planes at Edwards.
1. VSI, 3 1/2", 0-6,000". Navy Stock # R8810750-110-000. Mfg. part #
RC-60. Aerosonic Instrument
Co. U.S. Property.
2. Turn and Slip 3 1/2" 4 minute turn. R.C. Allen Business Machines,
Inc. 28 volt DC system. Mil Spec
1-7806A. U.S. Government Property.
3. 2 1/2" Cylinder Head temperature, 0-250 C. Made by Simpson.
4. Manifold Pressure in/hg. 2 1/2". 0-80".
New pitot-static blade type mast. Topflight Design Group.
New Jeppesen Skybound System. Bought this to download Jeppesen updates for
a Garmin 430. Can hold cards for various units. Never used, paid $150.00.
Sounds like Waycross will be great. Look forward to seeing everyone.

For the Stearman & T-6, Greg's favorite for his engines is Texaco Corvus 113
or 13.
If you can, try to make sure the barrels haven't been left outside for
amounts of time. Some air shows will buy too many barrels and keep them for
the show next year...which is fine as long as they are sealed. Once they
are open, if they aren't kept in a dry place, they will rust and get stuff
in it that will tear your engine up. If you ever question it...try to find
something that can act as a screen to filter from the barrel into your
tank...or just MAKE them open up a brand new barrel.

Try Super Dri aviation smoke oil. I have used it on Radio control models
with it being much less messy that the castro oil the is the fuel for the
R/C's. Their advertisement claims it to be the least messy.
Guess your gonna make me put a smoke system in the 50 now huh?

I use Canopus 13 by chevron - this is easy to find in bulk. It does
leave a residue on the plane but is as easy to clean up as the bottom
of the plane and the sides from the "radial sling" after hard acro.
I have tweaked the pump and I hear of guys tweaking the nozzels to
get the best burn rate and cut down on the residue.
Attached is a link with a good article comparing Super-dri to
Canopus. I still stick with Canopus as I can get one or two barrels
a year almost free.

Well It probably won't, but I get Ashley's point. I would prefer not
having rust particles floating in my smoke oil clogging the line,
maybe the pump and the injector.
