• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

We're always talking about keeping down the weight of your plane. And I'm trying damn hard to keep it to a minimum.


Just doing a quick look at the weight of a smoke system... I see that one weighs, more or less,between 39 and 44 pounds (with a full tank 3.5 gallon tank.) This is just by looking up a system on the ACS site.


For the pilots out there with smoke systems, or had smoke systems...
How often do/did you use it?


For me,44 pounds is a lot of weight for something that isn't used that often.
