Tandom baglock

Recommended Posts

My personal experience with a baglocked cutaway (no tandem) is purely theoretical, as the canopy is still camping out in the Estonian woods. But based on loads of talk with riggers, I concluded that the baglocked main went down like a homesick bowlingball, especially relative to a freebag. I chopped at 13kft in 0-5kt winds at altitude. My freebag landed 1500m downwind of my approximate exit point, and I think my main landed at most 50-100m downwind of that exit point, in part because my pilot chute was the culprit (it never did its bloody job, hence the chop). Due to inaccuracy in the exit point, I've got an area of 100x300m where I think my main is. All trees with heavy undergrowth.

So, if you're willing to go search for it, I still have a €200 bounty on its recovery =).
