Deuce 1 #1 July 28, 2002 Thanks again to Quade and the others who have given advice here. What a blast! I had the wings adjusted by a friend at the DZ, left the camera on the ground and went for a one-way KingAir ride. The suit is fast when the wings are in. Pop those wings out, and it's like hitting the up botton on a high speed express elevator! A camera flyer friend suggested bringing my elbows tight to my sides and putting my hands in front of my chest in a prayer kind of position to hit the "down" button. Wow does that work. I'm glad I approached it cautiously, but I can't overstate how much fun that vertical range is to play with. Plus you can STOP once you've swooped in. So those are my weekend numbers, Three camera suit jumps, two with the camera, and one CREW jump where I managed a two-way rotation the first time out (with a PRO crew jumper) FUN!

Gravitymaster 0 #3 July 29, 2002 heh, heh you might be a candidate for a Birdman suit. Take it slow and really learn to fly the suit. The fun is just beginning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
