GroundZero 0 #1 May 21, 2003 After about 500 Bird-Man jumps, someone let me borrow a Pro-track... well after 3 jumps with it... I bought one (and the jump-track too). So here is a flight with my Skyflyer doing 2 way with a Xaos21-53. We are flying pretty relative... even with a 180 degree turn in there... Yea I know Jari and Vladi have already docked.... but has anyone done 2 points yet? Chris (Thanks for the assistance Craig!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GroundZero 0 #5 May 21, 2003 i knew that would be the first question... No but we plan to document it in the future... I can see the problems with video... I think the best video would be from telemeters... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #6 May 21, 2003 Agreed. Old school telemeters (which we have plenty of here at Raeford) do a fine job of ground to air video. Hell, the system the Golden Knights style team has is totally bad-ass. Anyway, what am I reading here? Chris, did you dock on someone jumping Mikeal Stevens' canopy?

GroundZero 0 #7 May 22, 2003 Mikeal jumping his canopy... very very very close but no cigar...yet. We both agree it looks very do-able, but we were more surprised how we remained "relative" through a 180 degree turn... so I'm thinking not only could we get a dock, but release and then let him front riser below for another dock on the same jump. You know make it a 2-point jump... To make it even easier, we were thinking of letting Jeffrey Mullins jump the 53. (he's about 15 -20 pounds heavier...) Not yet... but give it some time... we need to plan to make a day of attempts, but he's on the other side of the state... we'll get together sometime... if only I didn't have to do this "work" thing...

SkymonkeyONE 4 #8 May 22, 2003 I like Mike; he is a good kid. As to the 53: if T.J. Landgren can land it (I watched at Atlanta last year), then it's all good. Putting lead on Mikeal would accomplish the same thing. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
