Working on adding smoke to a plane for the first time !

Hope you enjoy it, have had smoke on a couple of planes but not anymore. Smoke is hard on planes and covering. If you do not glow engines you will not like smoke. Is nice todo and it looks great but there is a lot of maintenance that goes with it. If this is your first time take a bottle of windex and a roll of paper towels. It takes some work to get the oil ratio correct. If I may suggest start with very little oil. Fly the plane see how it looks and then increase it every flight. Keep an eye on the amount of oil on the plane and stop when you happy with the smoke trail.

Once again fixing wheels. These super light wheels do not last long. New plane at the beginning of the year. Wheels are shot massive wheel wobble had to ream out the wheels press some bushings into wheels so they fit work properly again.

Got two props drilled today for my DLE55 on my sukhoi. Guys looked at me kinda funny when I came walking through the gate with them.

Changed the deans connectors my flight packs and on the booma rc switch over to EC3 style like I use on everything else

Also made up a fuel filler port but more on that later once I get it installed to see if it works out ok.
