Default Blanik L-13 turbine with wingtip smoke video

Just flew my new Turbo Blanik today. Me and my buddy had tested some skydiving smoke cans on the wingtips. It seems to show very well. The video is via onboard GoPro Hero 3. Change the settings to 1080 and the picture is great.

It was so much fun. I got a few more smoke cans for later. They are pricey so I will keep them for something special.

Can you turn them on and off or once they are on you run them dry?
interesting to see the wings flex to during flight.

No, once they are are on, that's it until the chemicals are gone. My buddy is going to experiment with different dyes in one can, so you can get like 3sec one color then change to 3sec on other color and so forth. A single can could conceivably do a pattern of red, white, blue.

The smokes just arrived as I was leaving for the show. I could have probably put something together but I lacked the energy, I guess.
