Just the typical reply from you when your bias is questioned.

As you ask this way, I’ll ask you to explain exactly how much powder needed for this cloud to form, or how much nitrogen would be needed? And more importantly how it can escape the system and yet fill the floats normally?

As to how much oil needed, I know that a very small amount of oil in/on the exhaust produce lots of smoke. I lost about 4 quarts of oil when a oil cooler blew in my early days in a R22. Only a few ml’s in the landing phase, but as it was dripping onto the exhaust pipe it produced quite an impressive amount of smoke, we are talking about drops.

But hey, you’re the expert…..!
