Any Bird People going to be in Montana for the Lost Prairie Boogie? I'll be bringing the GTI and looking for some flock time.

At Quantum Leap near St. Louis we have 2 experienced guys, 4 newbies and several wannabees (including myself). Scott Cowan is my co-pilot...N203E

Yes, I do think I nailed it on that one. I was experimenting with body position. My hands were about 6 to 9 inches off my hip, my fingers spread open instead of closed, and my ankles were touching while I concentrated on squeezing my legs together throughout the entire track. I can't wait to try a Birdman Suit but from everything I've read I'd be wise to wait until I've got 500 dives under my belt. Scott Cowan is my co-pilot...N203E

Wasn't the original question "What's the slowest regular track"?(w/o a wing suit). Last August on a tracking dive I averaged 86 mph (Pro-Track set on SAS). I misread the "Winds Aloft" chart in the manifest office and track the wrong way. I had a 33 knot tailwind. Yes, I did land off. I can't help to think that the excessive tailwind helped my glide and decreased my vertical speed. The slowest speed I had been able to attain previously on a tracking dive was 92 mph. I'm 5'10'' tall @220 lbs. Not the build for a natural tracker but the Pro-Track doesn't lie. Scott Cowan is my co-pilot...N203E

Greetings all! Great forum you've got here. I'm a camera flyer wannabee doing research on a new camera purchase. I've narrowed it down to the Sony TRV-25 or 27. I'm gonna go top mount on a BoneHead Flat-Top Pro. 2 questions: what extra accessories (batteries, cables, etc.) are a must for the job and is there any place better than dbuys for prices? I'm not an Ebay fan. Thanks in advance. Scott Cowan is my co-pilot...N203E
