Re: SMOKE???
nver tried sullivan, I have a TME and like it. Downside, you have to use a speed control if you want to control the flow relative to the throttle. Otherwise it works great and the flow rate is way beyond what's needed.

Re: SMOKE???
The Sullivan Smoke Pump I have works very well and is super easy to install and set up!

Re: SMOKE???
Sullivan Skywriter ALL THE WAY!!! You can set it up with your throttle/mix to manage the amount of smoke oil added.... Just make sure you use some foam to insulate it from vibrating. I had to resolder mine after several flights as the power wire came loose. I beleive sullivan fixed this problem!!!

Re: SMOKE???
I've got two Sullivan's.........and why would you want all or nothing smoke......that's just a waste of smoke oil. More oil doesnt' mean more smoke.

Re: SMOKE???
electric smoke pumps are heavy, and junk. dubro pinch valve, a check valve and tap into crankcase pressure has worked by far the best for me (and is less than half the weight)

Re: SMOKE???
I've used the TME and the Sullivan, and I like the Sullivan best. The TME worked fine, but you can't control the smoke flow without a speed control. So, at low throttle, you're pouring more oil into the mufflers than you need. That wastes oil, makes a huge mess on the plane, plus it cools down the mufflers which makes it smoke less.
