Removed the smoke tank today for the first time in a year and a half. Did a quick evaluation flight in the wind and turbulence to make sure the bulkhead fitting on the firewall that feeds smoke oil into the exhaust pipe wasn’t going to leak carbon monoxide into the cockpit.

I’d almost forgotten how sweet RVs fly when they don’t have 20kg of smoke oil in the back. Lighter is better for RV control feel.
Minimal aviation this weekend. I’ll make up for it next weekend when I fly 4 hours each way to Mt Gambier for a family event.
