yea, completely as what i'm trying to state.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

the places i've been to usually allow to land parallel to the runway. so, on that imaginary line, you land wether up or down. i dont know if i can make myself clear enough.. completely agree as to do it as the others do, if your plan works out that way. what worried me a bit was, if i understood right before, was to make up a plan before boarding and sticking only to that one. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

of course you think about possible landing patterns. but its not only one that is possible. the most places i've been to, you have two directions to land. what i tried to say is, it wont be much use if you're only having one detailed plan. what if you come from a long spot, and instead of a right hand pattern, you have to do a left hand pattern, as you're running out of height. of course, you could still try to make it, chances are tough, you'll hook yourself in, as you're running out of options. its a good thing to not only have multiple plans ready, but also to be able to adapt to new situations.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

if i understand you right, you're talking about a nilwind day where the sock pretty much "just hangs down".. here, thats a rather rare instance.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

that is a very good question. i guess i'm fond of the pc-series sizes. good for sidemount. the 28/48-types are slightly bigger and seem to be a bit on the cheap side, well, if you have one in your fingers that is. the 7/9's seem only to work as a top-mount. i just dont know what to get! *sigh* “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
