Flying with a smoke grenade?

[Nightwing 0]

Hey there,

I'm doing some research into jumping with a smoke grenade. I've got a design in my head for the bracket but want to know if there's any danger in burning my wingsuit or something like that. And how to go about avoiding that shit.

Thanks in advance,

Yes, you can definitely get slag on your suit if you are jumping M-18 smoke, but who cares. Jim Wallace makes a decent bracket and the ones the GK's use is OK for multi can ops. So long as you have a quick release for it you will be fine. I am sure either Kevin Orkin, Scott Campos or some other techie will chime in with pics. Actually, there are pics of brackets somewhere already in this forum, so do a search.

Can the smoke dye your suit?

I did a search before and found a design that inspired my own.

Thanks btw.

Yes, the smoke will positively dye your suit. Red is the worst, but it shows up the best in freefall.

Damn!

Cos the bracket I wanna make must be able to switch foot for the different aircraft exits. We mainly jump 206's :-( so it'll be on my right foot to prevent smoke dyed booties. The red/orange canisters will be what I'll use. Can't remember the name, but comes in a orange can with orange screw cap.

I'll say, my super-silver s3 has no signs of smoke on it with the exception of the bootie snaps. I think the silver fabric they use has some type of coating on it that doesn't stain easily. I have probably 40 or 50 smoke jumps on this suit.

Is there any issue in the uk, to how many jumps until you can jump, with smoke ,bm jumps or total jumps numbers,were do you buy smoke.

The point of no return what a rush.

Recently made 10 smoke jumps back to back with no issues of dye to the wingsuit, so not sure what kind of brackets your using, the smoke usually runs out after 1 minute so theirs none left to dye suit/canopy etc.

Most folks avoid the right foot to decrease the possibility of a pilot chute snagging it.

Anyone have any experience with this product? I'd be interested in hearing how successful it is.

How hot do they get? I currently jump the smoke from Paragear.

How visable is the smoke in freefall?
