funks 1 #2 February 2, 2006 I refuse to answer under the grounds that if I do I will most likely end up having one on my next jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #3 February 2, 2006 I have had three out of about 1700 jumps.Two from hard openings and broken steering lines on a Viper,NO it was not landable.One spinning mal on my trusty Alpha 145.I think a riser hooked on the corner of the reserve container on that one.I have two of them on video. .
