udder 0 #1 April 4, 2005 Howdy all I haven't been eating my vegetables lately and I've slimmed down to 1.5kg's. Because I didnt eat my brocolli I am now very fluffy and sport another set of legs. My arms have mysteriously dissapeared. I am very keen at getting into base and was wondering about wingloading? Would a 42'PC allow me to survive a landing on hard ground or should i stick to water jumps, or perhaps a 46'PC ? Also I am having a custom harness sewed for me, if anyone has any pictures of a harness designed for a person like myself could you please PM/post them. I have no mentor, but I have found a local 50 foot span over water l that looks like a perfect newbie object. Due to restrictions in the use of my front legs I will have to go PCA, but has anyone developed a system to allow me to do longer delays? I was thinking of using lightweight fishing line still on the spool, kind of like a very long static line, that can run out maybe 20 or 30m. Should I tape my paws as to prevent myself from clawing at the canopy, and should i tape each paw individually, or together to prevent myself from making a runner before the ground crew comes and gets me? Would taping my paws together lead to stability problems? Lastly I would like to say Im a big fan of Rocket the Wonder Dog, and believe my endeavor would better inter-species relations between canines and felines.

udder 0 #3 April 4, 2005 Alas I never considered a ram-air canopy. But I love the idea. Though getting to a 0.8 wing loading, and only weighing 3 lb's could be interesting"In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrogNog 1 #4 April 4, 2005 Aren't you worried about stability problems with longer delays? -=-=-=-=- Pull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropoutdave 0 #5 April 4, 2005 Good point, surely a dogs most stable position must be on it's back with it's legs slightly out to the side. Perhap an old school belly mounted container would be best suited to the canines. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Zennie 0 #7 April 5, 2005 Dang! All these times I've gone head low I thought it was just poor technique. But no! It's in the tail! I need to have a counterbalance in the tail! Kk...
