I dabbled with the smoke thing as well. I made a little container that strapped into the passenger seat, had a container for fluid, a pump with battery, and hooked it up to the exhaust. It worked pretty good. One day at the hangar, a local cropduster told me of an incident just like yours. I guess cropdusters have an oil line to the exhaust too, to determine wind direction. He said someone phoned in a 911 call of a plane crash and the emergency vehicles were searching all over for the crash. I have since been leary of smoking any more. I have no idea of the legality of it tho.

This is a very good topic, and i hope a lot of ideas/solutions are adressed. I am also at a non tower airport, i fly a 17meter wing at 42knots, and i am always worried about getting runover. We have a wide variety of aircraft here, lots of cropdusters, twins, and some military. I am always on the radio, and most pilots are good, but some are upset when you announce you are entering the zone at 5miles “strait in to runway 22” and you land 6 or 7 minutes later.
I hope a lot of trikers chime in with some tips….
