wingnut 0 #2 April 22, 2001 billy,sory i it wasn't me that had the move. it was fff. he was telling me about it a while ago. i tried it on my clubs c206 and i failed. maybe with a slower stall speed on a c182 it might work better for you. you don't need any goo, just some good uperbody strenth to pull your body up to get your feet over the leading edge of the wing. then just hold on by your toes. there was a pic somebody had of someone doing this, don't know who had it though. think they called it a bat..........sorry i wan't there on IM. i was passed out in my bed....we had a get together from work at a local micro brew............."if dreams are like movies, then memories are like films about ghosts"-counting crows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut 0 #8 April 22, 2001 that's excactly what we were talking about! i couldn't get my legs past my chest when i tried it....maybe because the pilot at our dz doesn't cut the engine at all so we're still going around 100 knts on jump run.....i need to find a c182 to jump from."if dreams are like movies, then memories are like films about ghosts"-counting crows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
