fasteddie 0 #1 August 29, 2003 Hi! Can anyone tell me how to hang upside down from the wing (not the wing strut) of a Cessna, and, of course, how to get to that position? Thanx Blue Skies Eddie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ccowden 0 #3 August 29, 2003 Just takes a little muscle- Climb out as far as you can get with your hands out on the stut as far a they will go. Take your feet off the step and immediately pull your knees in and feet uo to the leading edge of the wing. You have to do this quick and with force. Once you get your feet over the top of the edge, slowly let go and lower yourself down. Depending on your shoes, you should be able to hang from your feet. There is no secret to it- just give it a shot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Levin 0 #5 August 29, 2003 Be careful not to put a dent in the wing. I asked a pilot once if I could try it. Pilot said sure but I was responsible if I dented the wing. I asked how much. Pilot said $3000. Not sure if that is really what repairs would cost or not but just in case I opted not to try it.

fasteddie 0 #6 August 30, 2003 My biggest concern was taking the plane down, but I guess I have other things to worry about now. Thanx for the tip. I'll practice on the ground first where it is easier to feel the resistence of the material... Thanx again Blue Skies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D22369 0 #7 August 30, 2003 make sure your far enough out so you miss the step/wheel, wont be much fun if you scrape down it.... RoyThey say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3ringheathen 0 #8 September 1, 2003 Since you should talk with the pilot before doing this anyway, the trick is to ask them to throttle back. Slower airspeed makes getting your feet up on the wing way easier. -Josh If you have time to panic, you have time to do something more productive. -Me* *Ron has accused me of plagiarizing this quote.
