Hi Does the Optima2 works like a logbook? I heard it logs just a small amount of jumps, but couldn't find this info at L&B website. Thanks a lot
-
It is the type of jump where the person concerned does not need to have any experience in the sport, just the desire to jump. The double jump in Curitiba is performed at a height of 10,000 feet (3,330 meters), passing through a 30-second free fall at a speed of 220 km / h. After opening the parachute at 5,000 feet (1,515 meters) the flight lasts about 5 minutes until landing. A parachute camera man accompanies the whole jump, filming and photographing from the ground preparation, the exit of the plane, the free fall and also the landing. AFF Courses, Instructor Jumping, BBF Training, Wind Tunnel Training, Dogra Course, Supervision of progressing students to obtain categories. -
2 blade prop or 3 blade prop?

Hi Randy, I was looking at the backcountry pilot website about the flap gap seal , and found out that they increase the climb rate, but will affect your short takeoff capability a bit, my DZ has a long runway so no problem about that As soon as get the plane in the air I 'll post an update. Thanks a lot for now. -

Hi Randy: What is the elevation (above sea level) of your drop zone?? Just wondering because my plane is finishing the Pponk conversion O470-50 (275 hp with the mc cauley 401 tri blade prop) and the wing X extension , my DZ is 2300' ASL , just trying to make a guess on how much time it ll take to 10.000'. Thanks ... -
Thanks a lot for the infos, have you heard anything about the horton stol kit and the one from stene aviation ?? I might be wrong, but seems like the wingx is the most popular kit in the skydiving comunity.

Hi: I trying to get some info here, I'm modifying my cessna 182 wide body with the 275hp PPonk conversion, and was thinking about the Wing X stol kit as well, does any plane owner can tell me about it, if the kit really makes a difference when climbing, and about the costs X benefits, does it worth paying 9.500 to buy it and install??? Thanks in advance.

Yes , I did the same, video on top and photos on the bottom. I realized with the video on top you got an extra couple of inches further out and the images are a lot better.

Tomorrow I ll try my dual go pro handycam set up for the first time, and I'm not sure how to set it up, stills on top or video on top?? Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot totter, if I have any questions I ll PM you for sure !!! I will try to find the data from our handle here and see what I can get from FAA. Blue skies

Exacly, almost all 180's and 182's have them in Brazil. I'm trying to find any owner of a c182 here in the US, who have this handle installed on the plane, so I can figure it out how to certify this modification within the FAA.

I don't really know the name, just want to know if you need a STC or just a 337 field approval to install it. Thanks

Hi: If anyone can help me, I found all the STCs that I need for skydiving mod. on a C182, my question is if there is a STC for a handle where a videographer can hold on outside the plane?? If any C182 owner could help me !! Thanks a lot
