A cool thing from a video that might be fun at Aquino (or elsewhere)...

So, the RC tankers in Europe came up with a really fun idea...they put a smoke generator down so that the tanks could emerge from the smoke:
I don't know if any of us have a smoke generator, but it would be sort of cool to do that...

I may have access to a fog machine... I know I have one smoke grenade from paintball from over a decade ago...

We have3 smoke generators and have done this for years... :-) I think Mitch has some pics from last year...

One thing to note in the video is that that is indoors. No really strong outdoor winds to blow the smoke away...

Take a look at Abteilung 506's avatar and you will see his Tiger last year emerging from the mists... :-)
At the end of the season I picked up a big MF smoke generator for the coming year so will see if I can get it up and running...
And we did have smoke 2 years ago at Aquino. We even had it set up for people to activate... :-) But they didn't appreciate us digging up the turf to run the power line... :-)

In my defence, I was operating on approximately one and a half hours of sleep that day...

I blame Chris for the cable trenches at Aquino that time around!

I brought a shovel and the cords! guilty. And I also remember an intense battle where a KT got smoked in the face and the driver wasn't too happy.
