    ***Excuse me, lol all you want but the tunnel is not free fall. In the sky you don't have the man behind the curtain controlling fan speed.



    every time you are not on the net you are in free fall by the laws of physics

    You need to learn physics :S


    Gravity is pulling you to earth in freefall.
    The way your body acts is different in the tunnel.
    You are using your body to try and stay off of the net in a tunnel. Basically holding yourself "up" of the net.
    You use your body differently in the sky, because you are not trying to hold yourself up.
    You use the air resistance in a similar way to change direction and relative speeds.
    But they are different, and don't directly and automatically transfer from one to the other.

    Not a classic, but it was way better than Cutaway (which had a better audience response on RottenTomatoes).

    Well that's twice tonight you have called us assholes. Any particular reason?

    Guilty conscience:D:D
    This place is a lot quieter now, but a few years back it had it's fair share keyboard warriors just being general dicks and behaving in a manner that they would never commit to in public.

    RC.COM is dead and SuperTopo seems to have more dickheads than this place ever had.

    I thought my collapsible slider looked a bit silly on its own, so I made a canopy to go on it. I've ground launched it and it flies a lot like a Sabre.





    I now have a nice range of canopies to try out. I'll be going to Lake Elsinore again in April if anybody wants a go on one.


    When in April?

    The original wind tunnels were padded on the insides. No reason except marketing and visuals as to why it couldn't be done again.


    the air flow over the pads is more turbulent than on a smooth surface.

    If you can get hold of a copy, set yourself down and watch "Deeply Madly Truly", in which Juliet Stevenson (who is herself a great actress) loses it completely mourning for the death of - guess who. It's a fantastic movie that's largely been forgotten and could help deal with the real loss now.

    2nd-ed.. Great flick, one of his best performances:)

    That's not their department. The only place anyone would even know there's an AAD there would be the TSA checkpoint, and all the TSA guys I ran into were quite familiar with the layout of a skydiving rig. The AAD I had in there wasn't a problem for them at all. They just swabbed it down for explosives and I was through the security checkpoint in a jiffy.


    It's very much their department. The airline can stipulate what they allow onboard no problems and the PIC can also dictate what's allowed on.
