Well geeze if that wokrs on a PC I'll have to try that on my Hor150...lets see....150ft off teh ground I'll yank down on a toggle...let go of it and then grab onto my three ring system..(no capewells)......and I'm sure pretty soon I'll come in for that landing...... jason Freedom of speech includes volume -
I've only pulled really low..(well for me) once (approx 2100...usaully pull at 3000) and that was because on a three way when we broke off the one jumper did a back flip and dropped like a rock so when I checked the other one to see where they were tracking I lost sight of the thrid ....so I went low just to be safe...I knew she wasnt under me but thats all I knew......and yes I could of done a roll to check above but at 2500ft I dont feel to comfy doing that just yet......3500 yes ..2500 no!! jason Freedom of speech includes volume
