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.

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
