- Don Harris Products makes a beautful Pitts style muffler/smoke system
- for the YS-120. The cost is around $100.00 which includes muffler,
- pump and check valve, you supply heat resistant tubing and battery.
- I have one of Don's systems on a 1/4 scale Starduster Too with
- Zenoah G-62 engine and another on a Goldberg Extra 300 with YS-120FS.
- Both systems work very well. For smoke fluid I've used Texaco Almag,
- a light grade lubricant, and Dick Bennett's Smoke Fluid, both smoke
- quite well. Harris Products is in California and the last phone number
- I had for him is (916) 269-1164.
