shropshire 0 #3 May 28, 2010 I have Quick-Outs on my Tandem - so it is possible to cut away, if you have the kit (there is also a company that is working on an RSL/SkyHook type set up). It actually looks like the red canopy is a reserve that was either not connected (Bad JuJu) or failed in some other way. All's well that ends well (.)Y(.)

Calvin19 0 #20 May 30, 2010 It took about 5 attempts to get the setup and execution how we wanted it. We did our Dr. Bills between 2006 and 2008. we first used climbing harnesses and about 40m of rope, but found that it was too long and the separate harness unnecessary. I built a single hang point into two skydiving rigs and used my rope jumping descent setup to connect the jumpers. The goal was to get two jumpers above a canopy in flight with one hanging 10m below it. my god, that was fun. Acro on a stilletto 150 loaded to 2.5/1 with a center of mass FAR below the CP. we started with a spectre 190, and tried a lot of different wings. ended up that a Stilletto 150 was best aerodynamic balance. the 120 was too small and fast. Sadly, Alex is no longer with us, and I have been really wanting to improve on this. Soon. -SPACE- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
