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.

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.

  

 Allen
