21 hours ago, dolphinka said:1. Bedford - the oldest tunnel, if you are not in the UK I don't think they even have those types of tunnels elsewhere, but I might be wrong. The wind isn't the best, but it is wide, unstable wind compensated with the space you have.
2. iFly 12ft - pretty wobbly next to the glass, and due to size it is hard not to fly close to it.
3. iFly 14ft - I quite enjoy it, again I don't think you can avoid unsable wind, but it is large enough to notice it much really.
4. HurracaneFactory 14ft - bigger than iFly and a bit choppier wind, but more powerful than iFly.If I had to start my journey again, I would pick bigger tunnel quicker and a good coach that stays with you through out your jorney. My first 2 hours was with probably 10 different coaches, each had their own idea of how to teach, what speed to choose and I feel I would've progressed quicker if I just sticked to one.
Thank you for your insight! I agree that a larger tunnel is probably better suited, and one that is powerful is totally on my thoughts as well. It's always hard to find that perfect coach, I can understand why so many (I'd probably do the same thing, and not just settle) I'll see who makes the HurricaneFactory tunnel and see why it's more powerful, thanks again!

I've been jumping for a while now (belly / freefly), and decided that I need to sharpen my skill set(s). The tunnel is my obvious pick, however I don't have the knowledge (that tunnel rats have) to make a firm selection on what tunnel is best (I want to have the best experience and not waste time/money fighting with things like unstable air in the tunnel) My questions for anyone that has flown in multiple different tunnels are:
-
Does it make a difference to fly in a tunnel with a double vs single recirculating fans?
- Is one smoother / more powerful / etc?
-
I've flown in iFly tunnels before, but I've also seen new tunnels like LuxFly (I know each tunnel has their differences)
- Has anyone flown in the LuxFly tunnel, and how does it compare to iFly's tunnel?
- What are the pros-cons of the two tunnel types?
- Anything else (besides the cost) that I should keep in mind?

Who's the maker of the tunnel near you? (So I can compare to what's around me)
Thank you for your reply!
