Today, we are publishing impressive photos showing pilot Josef Bertram performing aerobatics.
The aircraft is a "kit plane" from the USA, type DR107.
The aerobatic aircraft measures 6 meters in wingspan and bears the registration N107XR.
The installed engine is a 4-cylinder Lycoming boxer engine with approx. 5.9 liters displacement and 200 hp.
Our customer has repurposed a 12-volt gear pump from our oil extraction kit.
This saves high costs that would otherwise be incurred for pre-assembled smoke system kits.
With the 12-volt gear pump used, paraffin is injected into the exhaust.
The paraffin vaporizes due to the hot exhaust gases, creating the smoke shown in the pictures.
