vesatoro 0 #2 February 18, 2009 Welcome to flock. How about using the search "wingsuit 182 exit" and finding for example the following thread: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=1976887 It may not tell what is the best way, but shows many ways to do it :) or http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=660575 with the same question answered :) V "Fear is the path to the Dark side" (Master Yoda) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freestyle7457 0 #4 February 18, 2009 practice on the ground is definitely a good idea...just stay tight keeping your legs and arms together climbing out (poised exit) and then just step of the strut...it may be easier than you might think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para_Frog 1 #5 February 18, 2009 I prefer to dive out. Works great. 1st WS jump was that way...and most in the 182 I primarily jump. We just follow each other out. There's a video on youtube somewhere that shows the proper sit, grab strut, twist out for step exits. But yeah...diveoreeno.

Bowie 0 #8 February 22, 2009 Ask your wingsuit instructor he/she will know and practice with you. Its actually easier up there than on the ground. 5 way out of a cessna 182 is actually possible..Bo Wienberg vimeo.com/bowienberg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lurch 0 #9 February 22, 2009 For an elegant exit, if you're either the only wingsuit or exiting last, you can just try duck-walking in a hunched crouch the 2 steps to the edge and hopping out sideways facing forward with everything tightly bunched up and closed down. I think of it as a miniature somewhat cramped version of the standard Otter exit, plus of course, mind the tail. Its neat and no worries about spins-just make sure you stay closed down with your elbows pressed to your sides and your knees tightly together for at -least- one full second after exit so you don't risk flirting with that tail and you're flying immediately when you're about 30 feet clear of the plane. Works for me. -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
