Well, I called Marvin at http://www.smoke-system-helper.com/ and ordered my smoke system on Friday 4/24 and it arrived today…Monday…already…WOW! The quality looks superb and the complete kit is just that – very complete. I ordered a few upgrades – #1. the quick disconnect hose connection - for taking the tank out when I want more baggage room and less weight, and #2. The optional external vent and hose for inverted flight. :)
The tank fits in the lower forward baggage compartment and I figured it was one more thing I could do while I had the forward skins off. The smoke will come in handy when I do formation flying as well as general observation purposes… and just because it is an option I wanted with the aerobatic capabilities of the RV-8.....and smoke is cool.
