  1. http://www.facebook.com/FirstLoadMafia/?hc_ref=ART3fDS8Ttw3T0hq17o3Ly-faxnEba0tDZJdWis_hQynHd4UUKgDPL2Y7Ui0mkBYevs Quick plug for our freefly and fun jump group building close to Sevilla in the south of Spain. Perfect weather all year round, unhealthy food and cheap beer. What more could you ask for? Join the group if you want to see daily raw footage clips and monthly movie edits. Come for a holiday and do 10 jumps a day almost every day of the year at Skydive Spain Why ask what height one starts one's turn? It would appear considerably more important at what height one decides to finish it.
  2. So in the end I went for a velo90 instead of the katana 97. I think it was definitely the right choice. I've since flown the katana also and the velo is 100% better as a safe and effective a wing. Also recently had a go on a couple of sizes of JFX and that again is a huge improvement on the Velo, although maybe not quite as fun and 'seat of your pants' to fly. ciao all, wishing you all good landings Why ask what height one starts one's turn?

  3. Nice one! She really dives a lot, almost on an axis opposing the wings angle of attack it seems. Could you tell me your W/L on that please? Why ask what height one starts one's turn? It would appear considerably more important at what height one decides to finish it.
  4. I was wondering about this problem myself. Seems possible that by the time the wing has recovered enough for a safe riser plane out a lot of the energy has already bled off.

  5. Nice man! Thanks for the reply. Looked like these was some moderate cross winds going on there but didn't seem to be hard to handle for you. I've been flying a ka120 for a while and really enjoyed it. I like the steep trim very much. Got a few examples here if you're interested to tell me what you think?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RPNNbcwY2Y I would like to fly a 107 for a while first and then transfer to my 97. Got a couple of great swoopers helping me over the last year or so and I think canopy discipline is the way I want to go for skydiving. ciao Why ask what height one starts one's turn?

  6. Hi guys, Hoping to get some opinions on how a ka97 will swoop loaded at 1.9. I'm not ready to jump her yet, just looking to understand what to expect. I understand that a crossbraced would probably be a better choice at that size but I have the katana in a cupboard and would like to fly it one day. Steep diving 270s with rears to plane out kind of landing style Anyone have experience to share on if this old girl can surf or is it just one step too small to really get the best glide out of a katana?

  7. That´s Skydive Spain (Aerodromo la Juliana in Seville) if I am not mistaken At what height did you do your set-ups? What exit weight or WL had you got? Hola amigo. Si es Skydive Spain. The setup has minimum height of 700ft, the best is around 780ft. Exit weight is around 87kg and WL on KA120 around 1.6 I guess. You jump here with us? Why ask what height one starts one's turn?
