Ya'll weren't that far off on the second one. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #5 July 12, 2004 Faster Hybrid's: a) 1 hanger per belly in the base. b) Fast RW jumpsuits for the belly flyers. c) Belly flyers don't wear their booties. d) Hangers try to wear freefly pants instead of suits. e) Wrist grips on the smaller formations. f) ARCH! Oh and while most people assume you are stinging head down, ain't no reason you can't sting upright.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I'd personally error on the side of caution and go with the first choice...but that's just me. D.J.

Make sure the base is composed exclusively of guys whose nickname starts with "Big." Example: Big Al, Big Ben, Big Bird, etc. Have them skip their baggy jump suits. Big Ben goes 150 MPH on his belly without trying.

Me hanging off of a 2-way can be too fast for some of the stingers.. Deuce and I hanging on an already fast 4-way is quite comfortable for most.. If you are ina smaller plane (We have a King Air in Byron) go to the 3 belly, 3 hanging configuration.... Smmmmmokin.... chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking..
