In regards smoke systems. We have been using smoke on our 1/4scale
models for quit a while now. The key to good smoke is heat and nothing
in the glow catagory produces as much heat as a gas burner(at the
exhaust anyhow). The best smoke muffler we found was a home built affair
using wire screen rolled up and inserted into the muffler housing. The
smoke oil was then injected at the exhaust port and hit the screen
producing great smoke. You may be able to insert a roll of wire screen
material into a stock muffler to produce the same result. The hot screen
really makes dense smoke.Also, the better you atomize the smoke fuel, the
better your smoke will work. Use a very thin orifice at the point where
you inject the oil.
     The smoke oil we are using is a mix of Corvus oil (just like the
real airshow performers use) and diesel fuel (about 80%/20%). Bennets
R/C Products in Indiana make a smoke fuel that also works very well.
I don't know how much success you'll have with the 4 strokers as we
have never tried using smoke on them. Let me know how you make out.
