That tunnel is a lot of fun to fly. the location is beautiful and you get to meet people that helped pioneer the sport. -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

Orlando Parris Valley Eloy Vegas Colorado Pigeon forge L1 New Hampshire The above 8 were all flown in 7 days (flew to a different tunnel each day) San Francisco Hollywood Deland portable, VR skydive Montreal Niagara falls Utah Raeford 15 total.

Open air like Arizona in the summer time and recirc like Raeford in the winter. Why? Turbulence. When the louvers open up on recircs they get choppy. Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

I use a Drobo. Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

FF2's were made for the users specific camcorder. So, if you were to have an FF2 built for a PC1000 you will probably not be able to use a HC-5 in that helmet, no matter what. FF2's were also discontinued. If you PM me I can try to help you figure this all out.

I work in Orlando and have flown in every tunnel (14 out of 15) in North America except Utah which I am going to next month. I have to say that I think recircs are turbulent. So I would have to disagree with the smooth comment. This is my take on it. Recurculating tunnels push air around sharp corners and then through a turning vane at the bottom. Then the air is pushed up into the area where you fly. this is what I think is wrong with this idea. the space from the turning vane to the wire net needs an air straightener. We have one and so does Arizona and Perris. I have flown in Orlando when we were replacing the air straightener and without it it was turbulent, with it really smooth. It would be really interesting to see what a recirc would be like with one. I think that even with the louvers open it will be smooth. I am not necessarily saying this to defend open airs, I just wanted to put out an observation. Each tunnel has good and bad. We are not the fastest but we are fast enough for Head down. 4 way HD, No, but for 2 way its fine. We are running much faster then we use to. -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

I have a Raynox .3 and a Baby Death and the BD is noticeably wider. -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

Looks nice. You did a great job.. any pics of the still plug mod? -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

Looks great. How do you like the location of the Hypeye control unit? -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

Call and ask for Dalton's phone number or leave yours for him. -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

I would fly at least 5 mins In the tunnel without wings and than ask the instructors opion about your skill level. After that have the instructor talk to the manager and if cleared get some more time. -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

The FF3 is a great helmet period. I have used mine for the last 2 years. PM me when your ready to order. Thanks, Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

You are limited with the cams you can use with a 2k's FF2 But not the FF3. the FF3 allows you to switch out the clamshells (aka D-Box) to accommodate other cams. Just unscrew it and screw in the new one. Plus the cost is a new 2k clamshell shipped to you is half of what a bone head D-box is running right now. I am waiting the hear back from my rep about this cam. 2k may already have a clamshell that is sized for the CX105. I'll keep everyone posted... -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

What would the operating cost be? What would an hour cost and at what wind speed would you run for that cost? What are the instructor training methods you use? -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

Very old topic. I dont think it will ever be built. The pic is a modified pic of Orlando if that gives you an idea of how old this "project" is. I think its dead in the water. -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

I just ordered a Drobo last week. I hope its all its talked up to be. I'll be running two 1.5T drives with seagates approved firmware. -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings
