Default little smoke trail...

if i'm not mistaken (which is rare, but it does happen...) the reason for the lack of smoke in the worlds was due to lack of oil in the fuel....i know when i made the change from byrons race 30/11 to purple sidewinder (30/6? or 30/7? nobody has been able to tell me for sure...just don't use the sidewinder unless your motor is 99% completely broken in due to the lack of oil!!!) the smoke trail went from nice and smooth to almost non-existant...and i had to lean a couple hours on the bottom and 1 on the top of my B5....so there's ya another milage tip....a low oil fuel will yeild slightly better run times due to being able to lean it more...
