newshooter12 0 #52 December 20, 2005 i think you should set up a not for profit or other such corporation so you are not left holding the cash, or the liabilities... and have greater credibility in doing so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racer42 0 #53 December 20, 2005 ya know, we COULD do something a little less expensive... like the Red Bull DC-6 as an official DZ.com plane or something... Yeah, now that I think about it, 13 .50 cals in the hands of a bunch of overamped skydivers may cause a few problems. Besides at $5 a round it would get pretty pricey.L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindercles 0 #55 December 21, 2005 would i be right in assuming that a plane that size has a pretty high stall speed? because that rear stabilizer looks pretty low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benforde 0 #59 December 21, 2005 Prapchuap Khiri-khan in Thailand (Wings 53) has a -67R DC3, the BT-67, an interesting alternative when no C-130 was available.... 15k in 15 minutes not bad for an old timer. The best part was that it did not squirt oil all over you rig when you exited. http://www.thaiskyfestival.com/TSF06DZ_AC.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benforde 0 #62 December 21, 2005 did one or two jumps out of it... in 2004 It still suffers from the crap door, at the time I was bummed out cause the RTAF needed the Hercs some other place and I felt we got the leftovers. Then they stripped a Huey of it's weapons so we could use that... I swear flying over the coastline of Thailand, with your legs hanging outside the chopper, the jungle and all... I could hear the Stones in my head... "Satisfaction" with a dab of Wagner. Here is a better view of the -67 on the RTAF site http://www.do.rtaf.mi.th/Gallery/detail.asp?iType=13&iPic=615 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #66 December 22, 2005 Looks like we might need to downscale our (your) ambitious plans. Fancy getting a microlight or a baloon instead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #67 December 22, 2005 OOOOOO, a balloon would be nice. It's too bad too, that hat never did get passed in my direction. I had some extra money I was planning to put in it, but I spent it on a breakfast taco instead. maybe next time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
