That is some decent efficiency with those wingsI'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #10 October 18, 2010 I would ASSUME ( you know what that means) that the canopies were out first, opened after a very short delay and the suits exited a few units upwind and looped around. I.E. Canopies leave, open and get in heading (90* left or right.) the suit exit just slightly after ward and pickup heading and fall rate. I'd like to know,as well. Anyone feel like letting us know?My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They aren't using a lot of weight. They've put a modification on the front risers to lock them in a shorter configuation (kind of like elevator trim in a plane). They pull down on the fronts to put the canopy in a steep dive and lock the risers there so that they don't have to hold them down. You can see the slack in the risers as loops in the video. Those aren't dive loops, they are the excess front riser."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
