Question about adding smoke system to a DV

[Tom3D]

Hey everyone...
I need you're help about if to add a smoke system to my airplane...

The question is if i'll combe the smoke system with the Double Vision (Speiciel edition if it's metters) what should be the size of the smoke tank and the fuel tank so that the DV wont be that heavy for a DA50R engine?

Also, by the sizes you'll write for me, please write also the estimated time for flight and also for the time of the smoke system to be active by the sizes you written

Thank's ahead...
Tom

I would say that it all depends on how well run in and adjusted your DA50-R is, for how long you like to fly, how much of a fuel buffer you like at the end of a flight, your flying style, your smoke set up, etc. etc.

The DA50-R can consume anywhere from 8 - 24 oz of fuel in a 10 min flight period, depending on settings and flying style. It's my experience that people use a smoke tank about 70-100% the size of the fuel tank. On my 40% planes, I try to fit a 50 oz fuel and a 50 oz smoke tank if possible. In my MX2 i have a 50 oz fuel and two 24 oz smoke tanks.

hhmmm...
well let's say something like 10 min of flight (something like 1/2 throtlle) but the big question is if the engine would be able to fly the Double Vision pretty easiley with a smoke system and if yes... what is the maximum oz of smoke can I put while considering I want a 10 minuts flying time (10 minuts of fuel)? and still not to make the airplane too heavy?
