skymynci 0 #1 December 19, 2006 Hey everyone...So the DZ has closed for 5 long weeks boo ...have got flying time planned in Bedford tunnel though hooray!"I don't mean to harass you, but I was very impressed with the capable and stylish manner in which you dealt with that situation. And I was thinking to myself, now this girl's special..." M Renton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattjw916 2 #2 December 19, 2006 QuoteAny advice on how to attack the tunnel? Keep your expectations reasonable. Since you are new you will be working on basic hover control and stability. As your flights progress you will work on turns and fall-rate control. Relax, have fun, and just fly. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stumpy 284 #4 December 20, 2006 Don't worry about it - the instructor at the tunnel will show you during your briefing. Its not hard at all as long as you listen and do what they say! People who have trouble are generally those who know better Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CriticalLF 0 #5 December 20, 2006 Listen to Stumpy, don't go with expectations of becoming a skygod/tunnel rat on your first flight. All the things that you need to do at the tunnel will be taught to you by Paul and his team listen hard and you will enjoy every flight. Remember it's meant to be fun The CLF On break off turn and track as far and as fast as possible.... Because not only your life depends on it but so does mine!!

Stumpy 284 #6 December 20, 2006 QuoteListen to Stumpy, Ha ha - you'd be the first!!! Thats exactly right though. The absolute best thing you can do is relax - that way you will enjoy it more, fly better and learn quicker. If the instructor is telling you to do something, they generally have a reason for it Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks X Quote Try not to smile too much, it'll make you look like a newbie and have funHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sartre 0 #8 December 22, 2006 Umm, I think the lack of initial stability is more likely to make him/her look like a newbie. As for smiling, on the contrary, I find that when I smile more, they know I'm doing well and are willing to give me more air.
