Actually.... it's not a smoke system, it's a Smoke and Visual Collision Avoidance System (VCAS). I have one installed in both my previous Supercub and my Current FX3. In the lower level flying environment and and in busy traffic patterns, you can definitely alert your presence for all to see. I can tell you many times I have alerted crop dusters, life flight helicopter's and the random student in the pattern to my presence. It's primary purpose is not aerobatics but visual collision avoidance much as you turn you wig wag strobes on to allow others to see you and hopefully avoid collisions.Very nice build going on here! I see he put in a smoke system. Why would he put in a smoke system? Is he planning any aerobics?
