Skypup 0 #1 January 31, 2004 I was wondering if anyone has played with the rear risers to change the recovery arc of stilettos. Does the shallower arc extend your swoops or is it less efficent than the natural recovery arc?T.S.S # 5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To dream great dreams is itself an act of daring. -Eric Shipton & Bill Tilman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #3 February 1, 2004 Most of the members of both Airspeed and the Golden Knights RW team land their Stilettos with their rear risers. Try telling Andy Honnigbaum or Craig Girrard that it doesn't work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #4 February 2, 2004 Agreed. One fault of this forum is peoples tendancy to armchair quarterback, and text book mutilate what we try to do. Go out and try this stuff (If you're qualified) and see what happens.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
