    Flat as a pancake You may get lucky with an 'A' in Windhoek, otherwise try the army barracks in 'Shak-a-takkie' (Oshakati) up on the Angolan border they had a 150' free-stander. Ask nicely (booze) and they may let you jump it. Also try right down south on the RSA side of the border in the mountains of the Richtersveld national park.

    So other than cost, vents and valves don't make much of a difference one way or another where the chances of an object strike are low. However they would add flexibility for more technical jumps in the future. I agree completely. Yep, therefore they would have to be on the conservative side, as they wouldn't want people opening in a stall. (I agree though, that everyone should customise their DBS) So in other words, the higher the wing loading, the more inappropriate the standard DBS with respect to backsurge, or is it the lower the wing loading? But back to the topic, with a customised DBS would you then recommend secondary inlets? Thanks Tom, actually very informative.

    Hey Tom, In that article you advise against vents n' valves... Do you honestly believe that vents are not safe for beginners

    I would be inclined to open it too, maybe try a few go n' throw's at the OH, closed and open, and see if there's a difference.

    SL question

    If you're a bit wary of your anchor, you could try putting in a climbing bolt.
  19. You shouldn't do a hard chest-high, base type exit from a small k-car (Aloette, baby jet ranger etc.), coz the chopper rolls as you push and whop whop you hit the rotor Seen it happen before.
