Thinking about Smokin' Sumthin

[Ravioli]

I've had adding a smoke system to my RV on my "someday" list for a while. I can get a 5 gal complete kit for $850 and my buddy says it was about 10 hours work to install, which for me would be 10 DAYS or a check to the A&P to do it for me

Questions for you smokers:
Someone said a 5 gal tank provides about 8 mins of smoke. Does that sound right?

How long do you leave it on?

How often do you use it?

I think it would be fun to do smokin' fly-bys. At 90kts that's ~1 minute for a 'typical' non-towered airport.

Any real usage data out there?

If you only use it for zoom climbs and overhead breaks, it should last a while.

The ChemTrail® kit should cost the same, looks like smoke, and will pay for itself with the government subsidy. Van's part # EXH4P RV3CON320

Are you an airshow performer?

Don't all RV pilots think they are? Or fighter pilots.

Are you sure you already haven't been smoking something?
