Snowflake 0 #1 August 27, 2002 For Nac I hope this helps someone as much as it does me by writing it down. Your just getting stable in your sit and you go out on some 2 ways and they leave you behind on the exit every time (it's still my life). The trick is to sit into the relative wind. if your exiting back into the relative wind you want to drop of not jump ball up a little and roll foreward so you're sitting facing the earth(you don't want to be looking at the people who exited before you. you want to be facing the ground in a sit). If your facing the prop then do the reverse and use the plane as a refrence. I'm barely getting the hang of it but it's helping tons............I would appreciate any critique or further thoughts on this from you good freeflyers. Peace out PS cute Kid Nac when does he start AFF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #2 August 27, 2002 One thing to keep in mind durng free fly exits. I had a hard time learning it and I see MANY others making the same mistakes I did. When you leave the plane you MUST fly into the relative wind. This means belly down or up but head into the wind. I used to want to turn and be head to earth immediately. This presents a lot of surface and makes you fight the wind. Result.....you go low and away from others that exited with you. Exiting in a sit with your back to the wind you need to lay almost flat until you transition from the hill. Just letting the majority of the wind spill under you and DON'T have your feet hanging down and dragging like an anchor. As you learn to fly better you will get more and more control during this stage. Just don't rush/fight the transition off the hill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowflake 0 #3 August 27, 2002 I haven't really messed with headdown yet(I'm confused enough as it is), but it's the same concept present as little as possible to the relative wind. As far as getting flat on my sit exit maybe later right now I find it easiest to ball up a little roll foreward and extend as time goes on and I start to get comfortable on the hill I'll probably do that to keep up with headdowner's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirils 1 #4 August 28, 2002 When I first sit with someone new, I use a interlocking knee exit. It keeps you together long enough to adjust fall rate and conpensate in the other person is backsliding."Slow down! You are too young to be moving that fast!"
