Hey guys..

My Airplane has an unused Tank installed in the top wing. Now I'm planning on using it as a smoke-tank.
I understand the basics of adding a smoke System well from my RC time....choose the right pump, create some injectors for the exhaust, some lines, wires...ok.

But I'm not familier with the use of the wing tank. I guess for a good smoke though an aerobatic sequence I need to use a flop tube. How will this be connected to the connection on the bottom of the tank? And the vent line, also, from inside through bottom of the tank and then? Connect it to the fuel vent line, breather tube line or do a complete new line?

I'm pretty sure someone here can help, or maybe someone has a few pictures from his Wing Tank inside and plumbing.

Thanks
Patric
