IAF instructor weight - does it matter for the freefall?
8ypical replied to 8ypical's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
yep that's def true - I think my main problems are not arching enough and being too tense. I'm going to try my best to fix those things. I was just also wondering if instructor size is something that might have an impact and if going with an instructor near my weight would be easier. -

thanks for the info! so tiny me jumping with a much taller/heavier instructor could make it harder to be stable in freefall? is this an issue i should watch out for while doing the rest of my iaf levels? -

hello, i'm a newbie and just starting with my IAF levels. i did my level 4 (first non-tandem), and the freefall went badly - i started spinning almost right away. i'm pretty sure it's mostly because i was overly tense for the jump. but i was also wondering if the weight of the instructor, who's holding onto a leg, can makes things more difficult too? i'm very small and light (105lb) while the instructor i had was double that. could that weight difference make stability harder to achieve in freefall? should i try requesting an instructor closer to my weight? thanks guys!
