Arvoitus 1 #2 October 18, 2011 Gotta love porters, maybe you should ask the pilot to follow you so you don't have to fly in a carving turn.Your rights end where my feelings begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
granpasc 0 #3 October 18, 2011 The pilot uses the propeller to slow but it is limited. he needs to go up a little too, but I slowed down even more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 73 #4 October 18, 2011 There have been many cases where Pilatus exactly matches the wingsuit performance. This carving turn works. But there is an overlapping flight envelope somewhere halfway between a steeper wingsuit flight and slow diving where the angles match. Check this video at 1:50 With a slightly steeper angle, I could have added a bit more speed and we would have roughly matched. The pilots at Empuria do it all the time, and often actually remain next to the wingsuit the whole way (with a capable pilot).

I've the feeling i can't down the arms (along body) for increase speed without deflate wings...and lost horizontal speed Thanks for your advices, i'll try steeper angle next time.

Arvoitus 1 #11 October 19, 2011 Quote The pilots at Empuria do it all the time, and often actually remain next to the wingsuit the whole way (with a capable pilot). Last time I was there I noticed that only one of the Porter pilots would fly with you. The other pilot on duty at that time would just immediately leave as soon as you'd exit where as the other pilot would come fly with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmjJynqc90E I was actually somewhat bummed out in freefall as I was thinking that I should've worn my camera forwards as I would've gotten some nice footage of the plane flying besides me but it turned out nice anyway.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Titanium_Gecko 0 #12 October 19, 2011 Cheers, Yeyo. And to answer the other question: Yes, it was Black Knights in the UK with the tower of Blackpool pleasure beach to the south and Heysham 1 & 2 Nuclear Power Stations in the north - . My camera set-up is a bit better now and fly a Verso inseatd of an Expert so hope to get some closer footage next time. www.gathhelmets.co.uk www.flyyourbody.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With this move (the drag decrease) i felt speed up with my prodigy. with the ghost3 wings, connected between legs and arms, i feel foils deflate and me falling.

mccordia 73 #16 October 20, 2011 Do mind that ANY flying with an airplane should be done (IF you have the skills) with the same direction. Similar to flocking rules. You don't want to have something like this end up a few cm closer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cuIZ5Yr51w The picture attached is one I got from a post that dissapeared on dz.com a while back. No clue where its from, but edited out the callsign from the airplane. But it shows how easy these 'cool' moments can end up in 'someone hitting the plane/propellor'. If you can't fly next to another person with the proper skill and accuracy needed, than don't try and do it with a metal thing 10 times the size, and double the speed.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

BenediktDE 2 #18 October 22, 2011 QuoteYou don't want to have something like this end up a few cm closer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cuIZ5Yr51w Very true! I was on that load and the jumper was still shaking after landing. But he was not the one to fly towards the plane. He was flying straight and the porter pilot buzzed him getting closer every jump...For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
