    Hmm, would be tough to keep that light sport though.

    I think I still hold the title to First full scale Carboncub with Smoke system. Although the RC Carboncub is really nice and what a great job of aerobatic flying he does.

    I mounted mine on the exhaust stack..single injector...roughly 10 or so inches from the end on the right side. I ran the hose foreward behind the right sidewall panel. Keep the bulkhead fitting low on the firewall and create an upward loop in the flex line on the engine side of the firewall.....this will give a crisp or abrupt cutoff in the smoke trail when the system is turned off. Otherwise the smoke trail can " dribble " smoke until the line clears. Smoke em if you got em!

    Jim,

    Do you have any pictures of your installation?

    I'd like to put the pieces in now (I just finished covering the fuselage) that are needed for a possible later installations.
    What do I need to install now while I still have great access to the boot/firewall area?

    Thank you,

    David

    Jim, where did you mount breakers, switch, and momentary? Also, I'm assuming you ran oil hose in carbon fiber support down the right side, how did you secure the oil line? Glue? Nothing at all? Just curious, my mechanic and i are laying out the system today.
