Bodyflight.Net 0 #31 April 27, 2005 Ok... first jump.. level 1 AFF.. Don Krouger[Main] & Scott Miller[Reserve] - Titusville.. photos by my hubby with a little Kodak disposable... Then jump #23... borrowed some goggles/glasses from Joao.. bad idea.. couldn't see a thing on my belly.. so I made my first sit fly attempts... LOOKS FREAKISHLY like my arm is broken!! what did I learn? Well.. what with the goggles & the obviously loose bridle in the pic... I immediately bought my own helmet, goggles & rig.. The words of an aff inst. friend rung SO loud in my head that day!!! "The sky ain't no F$%^in Wind Tunnel.. you can just get out and fix your gear and then go back to flying! You better make sure your SH$%T FITS!" Well Niko... fortunately, I'm a pretty good little body pilot but you were right.. I didn't think first.

EDYDO 0 #39 April 27, 2005 I owned that plane for 2 or 3 years. Had two engine out landings before we found it was due to rust in a steel fuel tank. It is essentially a J3 Cub with 20 extra horsepower and a wide back seat. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
