Conquest150 0 #1 February 20, 2003 hey i have been hearing some words going around about Rook Nelson(i believe it was Rook). The thing i have heard that he has jumped and successfully landed a 27 ft^2 canopy. Now thsi si something i have heard and am not sure if it is true or not and i was wondering if anyone out there knew if it has really happened. i would appreciate it if someone can tell me. i know the canopy has been flown before but not landed. well thanks later blue skies and safe landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pics are on a thread here no Dz.com jumped it perhaps, but i'm finding it really hard to believe he landed it.... can someone correct me on this? Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #4 February 21, 2003 Ohh... I think thew quote from Andy about landing it was like: "Oh hell no" He regestered a decent speed of 69 mph on a protrack under it Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdctlc 0 #9 February 21, 2003 I dont think you could plane it out. I was looking at the canopy on Monday and kept thinking that it was bigger in my mind than it actually was. The vid I watched and the pic posted on dz.com is very deceving size wise. It hangs there like a toy tempting 30 pund jumpers with gear built for them!

dreamsville 0 #10 February 21, 2003 It's stupid for anyone other than an underweight midget. |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane. Harry, FB #4143 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
