RedwingRC Miracle Smoke Pump and Fortitude Tank and Plumbing!

[3dmike]

Servo reverse was indeed a problem ! Also the fact that I was using an S-BUS decoder to give me the additional channel(s) I need for the smoke ESC !
I managed to get it working with it set up on CH-9 with no mixing ....
But the mix still isn't working... hadn't much time last night to play with it but will try again over the weekend (raining so no flying!)

Did you get it setup?

Mike,

yes... the radio / pump bits are now all working as planned.. I now just have to install the pump and bottle !!!

One other thing... I have a DLE55 with cannister + flexible header. Where is the best place to tap for the oil input ? just on the entry to the can? or closer to the engine?

Thanks again!

The closer to the exhaust port from the engine the better. The fluid needs heat to combust into the nice white smoke.
