Avion 0 #26 April 8, 2005 PD recommends to avoid developing a full stalls with Vengences, because they recover so abruptly and twitchy. There was an incident concerning a person doing low stalls with a Vengence last year. I just took Scott's basic course. He gives very specific directions as to how to recover safely from a full stall. I managed to do a RR stall with my Spectre 230, by pulling the RRs about a foot. Full stalls are "Much more dramatic." I just manged to get the the bottom skin to wrinkle and the end cells just start to angle in a bit with the toggles held all the way down. I would have had to take some wraps on the control lines to get a full stall. But, I was already at 2k. So, that will have to wait till next time One of the other students in the class daringly decided to recover quickly, to experience the "Rock n' Roll" dive that follows. He said he lost 1000' very quickly in the process. I suggest contacting Scott for the proper directions, if anybody wants to try doing full stalls.

Avion 0 #27 April 8, 2005 QuoteI could devote entire days to practicing the exercises from each of the 5 jumps we had to do and still not even begin to touch the full potential of my current canopy. Yes, I also could have used multiple jumps to work more on the goals of each section. We'll just have to practice on our own I wonder how many people have taken his course with only 14 or less previous jumps. It was quite a change for me, to be the worst student in the class Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
