The cost is around $100.00 which includes muffler, pump and check valve, you supply heat resistant tubing and battery. I have one of Don's systems on a 1/4 scale Starduster Too with Zenoah G-62 engine and another on a Goldberg Extra 300 with YS-120FS. Both systems work very well. For smoke fluid I've used Texaco Almag, a light grade lubricant, and Dick Bennett's Smoke Fluid, both smoke quite well. Harris Products is in California and the last phone number I had for him is (916) 269-1164. -- ========================================================================= phil blais N6KXD AMA 12662 ITT Aerospace Communications Division dcdwest!plb@ucsd.edu DEFENSE 10060 Carroll Canyon Road (619) 578-3080 San Diego, CA 92131
