    I'am kinda know it from inside:) Yes it's more about control/dressing-undressing/instructing and standing on the net with first timers than flying for yourself... But since your get inside you'd have a far more possibilites to flying and improoving your skills than being outside Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    IMHO willing to became a WT instructor is for person, who thing not about money but about flying at first. For example if you have job with good salary but almost all that salary (and free time) spend on flying and jumping than it's qute logical to became WT/AFF/etc instructor even if you'd get less money Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    NWPoul replied to corpkid's topic in Wind Tunnels

    Is your instructor keep that skill in secrec from you?) Just tell him that you want to learn to descend rapidly Yes it's more about using knees not about arching (but arching too)) You may descent pretty fast by pushing only one knee down (it's may be easier than both) but what and how exactly - much beter to ask instructor) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    1600 HP is enough for 16ft for 12ft you need approx 1.7-1.8 less power to be equal to 16ft So 1000 hp seems enough if their airduct is well ingeneered Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    That's sounds weird do you have a video of this? P/S Good luck on your AFF progression Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    Defenetly it's better and more effective to fly smaller amount of time but with smaller intervals between flights Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    Yuo can see the yellow cable in da place on other side main riser Also you can see, that the left (from our POV - right) main riser is far itself from that "loop" Ind yes she is defenetly not swooper and it's not swoop event) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    The ground speed should be taken for exit delay coz: 1 If you have strong upper wind than you probably have significant wind shift at some altitude 2 If you have strong upper wind and therefore low ground speed you can afford more time for more separation (and safety) and still be in a good spot

    Than my vote for Safire 2 Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    For fun - yes, for training skills - very, very depends on actual skills level, flyplans and luck... IMHO it's may be cool additional, not expensive part of a long plan training program but defenetly not to fix about) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    L&B VISO II

    NWPoul replied to gaz511's topic in Gear and Rigging

    It's shows time and alti/speed at that time readings run at 1/4; normal; 2x; 5x and reverse speed screen can be seen at p.52 of manual but it's simple - just digits for time and alti/speed Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    Slider grommets (old design) consisted of two metal parts and plastic rings between "Vertical separation does not work";) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  19. NWPoul
    Rings, there were lag in rings design - fragile plastik between the metal semi-parts which catched the lines by it's sharp edges (on fractures) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    [off top] Is it a good idea to deploying such a canopy (possible mal and futher cutaway) with tandem in frefall in front of You? Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    Does it matter after wingsuit was landed? Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    Horizontal Separation at the moment of opening? It should be the same for all the cases Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
  23. NWPoul
    It's a good idea to know your canopy learn to fly and land it in all possible ways Yep it's even more good idea to learn it via face-to-face training with coach or experienced flyer Regarding landing on rears - besides all said advices IMO it's good to start from just plain out on rears with trasit to the toggles and when you became used to plain out and flying along the surface on rears landing will be quite easy step further (and even if you screw it/stall it - it will be not a big deal) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    NWPoul replied to Olmed's topic in Wind Tunnels

    Yep there is a traffic troubles (at friday more from Moskow to KLMN) so what? WT rates at weekend are far from optimum either... so it will be wise to go in da WT at the middle of the week) Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

    Aerograd kolumna

    NWPoul replied to Olmed's topic in Wind Tunnels

    There no windtunnel at Kolomna There is 2 locations near/at Moskow with 3 WT The Freezone near Chehov (actually closer to DZ Pushino than to DZ Kolomna) has Skyventure's 12 and 16.5 ft tunnels http://www.realfly.ru/eng/ both with full range of speed you'd need Very experienced staFF (many of them speaks english) and so on... The other WayPark in Moskow has 13.5 ft tunnel closer to bedford design http://www.aerotruba.ru/about/contact.html also has all speed you'd need Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?
