shellm1 0 #8 June 19, 2004 does the fact that the tail is lower than usual bother u ? I know a few people have expressed this as a concern.. but hey, its been designed and tested so surely its not an issue. and we have only seen pictures of it. is it very much like a caravan? still excited!! ------------------- "Life is an adventure, dare it" Mother Teresa.

piisfish 136 #9 June 19, 2004 it doesn't bother me, it just looks strange with the quite high nose, the butterfly doors for the pilot, the low wing... Can't remember how it was in the caravan... my only jumps in that plane (5 first jumps)we were like 7 inside and to be honest it seemed soooo huge to me...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
