konradptr 0 #1 July 29, 2002 Any suggestions on tailgate exits/high exit speeds, so a wingsuit can swoop above the plane? ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outrager 6 #2 July 29, 2002 Yo ! Exit as if you already were in full flight, present your wings to the relative wind as much as you can and dearch. It is quite natural. Some people are concerned that 200mph exit with fully extended wings will be too hard on their arms, but in reality the forces you feel aren't that big of a deal. bsbd! Yuri.

outrager 6 #3 July 29, 2002 2 more points: On Skyflyer, it really helps to hold the wingtips - both on exit and during the flight. It's much easier if you put some tabs on the corners - anything to make grabbing them easier. On any 2-zipper suit: as i've noticed during these hot-as-hell days, opening both zippers (body zippers, not arms) all the way down after opening effectively wraps your cut-away and reserve handles. They may still be needed in case of a canopy collision and such... so better hot then sorry ;-) bsbd! Yui. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #4 July 29, 2002 Yep, step straight back and pop clean, strong wings and point your toes, then BAM! Up you go. Keep your head up and watch the other monkeys in the plane; it's neat. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
effinjump 0 #5 August 1, 2002 same as what everyone else has said, but on the high speed passes be sure to tighten your goggles to the max. that way you will clearly see the top skins of the CASA's wings as you rise above them. nobody will believe you, so wear video!Rob Tonnesen "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom" -Anais Nin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
