I flew = formation in the Hayward Air Fair this weekend. =A0My smoke
always looks= better than the other guys. =A0I think it is because of the
rotary's hotter exhaust. =A0I use about the same amount of oil as theother guys, but my smoke looks much better. =A0Also, they have problemsof unburnt oil getting on each other's canopies, but mine always burn= s
completely.
