EVOL 0 #1 September 30, 2009 I need to do some tunnel time this winter. I have gotten stuck (but enjoying) into tandem video flying and I have not had a lot of time to work on my head down in a long time. I got some head down coaching at the end of my season out of the plane and it was pretty rough. I need a jumpstart to get me out of a sit (video/fun) and on my head. I know that I will have to work on the basic stuff first in the tunnel. What steps should I plan on taking for a tunnel trip around Feb-Mar? I have never been to a tunnel. I have 500-600 jumps video/freefly/RW. 1. Do I need a suit? 2. What location? (I live in the Virgin Islands and I am an airline pilot that can jumpseat free) 3. What type of coach am I looking for? 4. In estimation.......will 1 hour be enough to get back next season and give me a spot to work from? 5. *****The Florida location would be considerably cheaper than everywhere else because of proximity and people I can stay with. Is the Orlando location adequate for freefly coaching? Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyshimas 0 #3 September 30, 2009 I don't think 1h will cut it. Look at the thread on here: people talking on how much time it took them to start flying on their head not including other stuff. I would recomend Nick head instructor at Orlando tunnel. He is amazing guy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
