freeflyguy 0 #1 July 7, 2001 I had a similar thing.I did my first demo into a golf course the other day. The other two guys were more experienced than me, and normally fly smaller mains than I. They decided to use larger mains for that jump. I almost got peer pressured into doing the same. But after talking to the S&TA and the organizer of the thing. I stuck with my familiar canopy.I was first out of the Cessna, since I was loaded a bit higher than them. Had to change landing plans under canopy, because they moved the target as I was exiting. OH well. I still stuck the landing right where I wanted it and all was well. They other two guys, One almost floated into the crowd, but just stopped short, and the other did fine.But the point is the same as your story, they jumped unfamiliar mains, and it made things a little sketchy for them. But all was well and fun, with no Broken butt blues to talk about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
