Smoke systems and run-time on a tank

Post by solentlife » 01 Sep 2015, 18:25

Let me use example of my Zlin.

It has 15cc Gasoline engine and not so much room inside for more gear ... but I can move things if necessary.

I am asking about total smoke time of ~5 mins with on/off pump.

What size tank would give moderate smoke amount for a total time of 5 mins ? Average ??

Hello, Niegel!
from my gasoline 60cc planes 360ml smoke fuel ~3,5min
15cc might be sufficient for your 5min ~ 360ml liquid diesel

Tks Uldis ... it will not be possible to get the tank in ... too big.

I think I will to stay with the electric cartridges.

Cheers
