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.
