Howard Beury, Jr. of Las Vegas sent us this note and pics on 09/05/01.
"My name is Howard Beury. I live in Las Vegas, NV. I purchased a case of your smoke fluid for my latest project. I've finally finished my Airtrax after 3 years and smoke was a "must have". The kit is an L&R Airtrax. It has an 84" wingspan and it's running a Brison 3.2 C.I. All up weight is a little heavy at 18.5 pounds but she flies nicely and it smokes even better.
"The attached pictures aren't the best but it's all I've got left since on it's 7th flight it met with radio interference (I know this because I wasn't the first to lose a plane there) which it never recovered from. It was clocked on radar at 105 mph straight and level so it probably was doing at least 110mph when it "popped".
"I think the greatest satisfaction for me was when I hit the smoke for the first time in the air and two other guys aside from myself said they got goose bumps when the smoke came on.... it was that good.
"Well the Brison suffered heavy damage but it's repairable.... so much CAN’T be said for the airframe. So it's time to find another worthy candidate for the engine and smoke system. Its life was short but very sweet, I'll miss it."
Howard, we're sorry for your loss ..... but pleased with your satisfation with Super*Dri Aviation Smoke Oil®.
