Hi everyone,

I just suffered from the “smoke in the cockpit” effect. On a night flight, the effect was pretty bad – there wasn’t much I could see at all.

I first had thought my vision was lost to cabin-pressure-loss induced black-out and descended rather rapidly, but when I noticed this didn’t improve affairs, the only thing that saved me was that the autopilot console was in an area not blacked out by the effect.

However, once in stabilized flight again, I found that I had no idea of how to clear the smoke from the cockpit in order to resume normal flight operations.

Any suggestions? Somehow I have the nagging feeling there’s just nothing I could do …

Thanks in advance,

Henning (HoHun)

The EFRA GP in Greece for 1/8th scale buggies was held this weekend on the same track that will host this Summer’s European Championships. All the top European names were present, as well as current World Champion Mark Pavidis from the USA, who made the trip over to compete at the event. Qualifying saw the TQ go to Losi racer Yannick Aigoin, ahead of Mugen driver Renaud Savoya in 2nd and Serpent racer Joern Neumann in 3rd. After the Semi finals, it was Savoya that lined up on pole position ahead of Mugen team mate Daniel Vega in 2nd and that order stayed unchanged for the entire race with the real battle on for 3rd, which was finally taken by Kyosho driver Jerome Aigoin who managed to get passed his brother Yannick in the final minutes.
