Beverly 1 #1 September 26, 2006 Our club is planning an inflatable toy weekend. What suggestions do you have for toys to be taken out of the plane? Considering we fly a porter. I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #2 September 26, 2006 Rafts are the only one that really work. However, getting one out of a porter would be right up there with impossible. All the other stuff........mostly people just turn back to earth and spin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the other stuff........mostly people just turn back to earth and spin. Thats not true. We have flown quite a few different inflatables, some better than others. If you don't want it to spin out of control you need some good "jumpmasters" and it will work. It takes some practice too. Can't comment on the porter thing, but we have taken a plethora of different inflatables out of a pac750~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

Less and you would need one with some decent attachment points to hold onto. Any big object you should stabalize the object. Smaller stuff like ridable dolphins/sharks/inflatable dolls/etc you should stabalize the rider (and the object somewhat too, but not as much) and make the rider keep the object stable. I think the bigger stuff is more fun from the riders point of view. At least thats kinda how we did it.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
