Homemade Smoke Machine For Electric RC Planes - Really Cheap!!



I made this really cheap smoke machine for creating a smoke trail behind my radio controlled electric plane. It is a simple design using things that I already had lying around my shop. The "smoke" is created by releasing talculm powder from a small container attached under the wing of my rc plane. To control the release rate of the powder & to prevent clogging, I added a wind-driven auger that keeps the outlet clog-free.

This is the first prototype and it has some limitations: 1. the container (a McCormicks spice container that held 0.7g of Ground Tyme) is very small so the smoke trail doesn't last very long before the container is emptied 2. I lose about 30% of the powder on take-off so I need to add a servo to keep the outlet closed until I get airborne

These are previously flown and tested airplanes, which we fly and test in order to make our sales videos. We are selling them as is. All of the parts and systems worked perfectly the last time we flew it. After we shoot our video, we put up the gear, take out the battery and put it on it's rack. Since then it's been sitting on it's rack untouched. As you can tell from the video, everything is working on the plane.
