diablopilot 2 #27 April 20, 2006 QuoteIs the general consensus that it's preferrable to open the riser covers of a (thoroughly) freefly friendly container prior to a hop-n-pop? Thoughts? No. I find no problems deploying imediatley out the door with properly designed rigs with properly sized canopies.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

marks 0 #28 April 20, 2006 QuoteYou are the excption to the rule. blues jerry think about what you just said and what you were replying to. hans is one of the top pilots in the world and you say he is the "exception" to the "rule", when most of the peeps on here use what the "top pilots" "do" to make "the rule". so with that said, is he the exception to the rule? what is the rule? where did you get it? and should I follow this rule? why? does you rig look cool with your flaps open?

Ragnarok 0 #29 April 27, 2006 One of the swoopers at my DZ did this. I asked him why. It reduced drag was one of the reasons he stated. I agree with this logic. You pack it, you jump it. As long as you are not doing anything illegal or unsafe, I do not see the cause for concern. Just be careful so you do not hang up on anything while in the aircraft......._________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
