Another day, Joe Maynard pulls the LEU out onto the staging area for takeoff. Joe enjoyed flying the pattern and making a couple landings. Joe is part of a team of 4 men that built and fly a LEU in Ohio.
Note the red bottle next to the seat. No, it isn't a fire extinguisher. (Though that may be a good idea.) It's the reservoir for Leonard's $10.00 smoke system. He says it only cost that much because he replaced the propane torch that he built it from. It injects a small quantity of ??? (Diesel?) into one exhaust pipe. Unfortunately Airventure officials get nervious when an ultralight puts out smoke, so he wasn't allowed to turn it on. |
