notsane 0 #102 August 7, 2007 Justin, We're probably going to have two groups; mine and Chuck's. So I doubt there will be space for a #3. I appreciate the offer though .. I'll probably take you up on it for 4.0. BTW, I've been thinking about some dives for 3.5 ..... How about the "Rodeo Flock", "Diamond Ring", "Oreo Cookie", "The Cube", "Falling Diamonds" or the "Flying Vagina w/ penetration 2.0"? I'm going to need 2 or 3 people who can flock together with a rider aboard apiece. Any volunteers? Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkycndo 0 #105 August 7, 2007 I've done a couple Birdeos. One went real smooth, one less so because the rider wasn't strong enough to pull herself up without distorting my leg wing.

notsane 0 #107 August 8, 2007 We'll probably just have 2 rodeo fliers since I can't imagine 3 getting out and being able to fly together. I'm sure Purple Mike will be up for it too. We'll build a flock around those rodeo fliers. At 6 or 7K the riders bail off and do a 2-way after we fly off. I've got a couple of other ideas using rodeo fliers ...

lurch 0 #108 August 8, 2007 I'm good for it... I've taken maybe a dozen rodeos, 3 of which went haywire. 2 were riders didn't follow directions and one was just plain poor planning and rehearsal on my part. One recent one I had 2 other birds flying with me at the time resulting in awesome video, 100% successful dive plan, rider deployed off my back.

I've never done a two way rodeo out of an otter though.. the one that I did do was out of a tailgate.. not sure how well that's going to work timing wise.

IslandGuy 0 #110 August 8, 2007 I've never done one but I've chased them. Seems to me that besides wing loading (light as possible), it's important that you get a fairly well matched pair. Of course, the slower the rodeos fall the better chances of getting a flock together. If you've done these before, maybe you could post your exit-open altitudes, delay/vert velocity numbers so we can get an idea about what kind of range of speeds and times we're looking at. Time to go to the gym - I can imagine it is a killer to keep it maxed out for the entire flight. Play like your life depends on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccordia 74 #112 August 8, 2007 We've flown 3 rodeos together about two years back at teuge (johan, saskia and me being the flyers if I recall) Two got together. The third one had a bit of a tumble on exit and lost quite a lot of altitude. But its definately not impossible. Steve and Duncan did a 2 way in spain, with 2 chicks on the back and flew within a meter of eachother all the way.. If people nail the exit, the actual flying of a 2, 3 or even 4 way would not be completely impossible. Trying to chase another rodeo, as a rodeo flyer, just feels like youre driving a big truck...not completely responsive to all your imputs..but roughly doing what you want it to.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

normiss 798 #113 August 8, 2007 I'm trying to decide if thats a gay reference or a pooping one...huckleberry: the art of mounting your lady with he on her side bottom leg out at 90 degrees, the other on top of one of your shoulders. while you are inserted you can play with the huckle(butt and anus) with one hand, and the berry (vagina)with the other. "My ole lady loves it when I finish with the huckleberry." OR huckleberry When your dogs poop gets stuck on the fur of it's ass.

notsane 0 #116 August 13, 2007 We 're going to try something a little different this year in regard to keying formation changes, etc. On my loads I'm going to equip Matt (the videographer) with an FRS radio since he's the only flyer that has a view of the entire formation. He'll have a button attached to his left hand so he can send out a "beep" or series of beeps to indicate agreed upon events (like formation completion). I'll have an FRS radio with an earpiece in my helmet so I can hear it and react accordingly. Two beeps might mean the formation is complete, continuous beeps might mean there is traffic ahead and a solid tone might mean Matt has had a seizure. If you'd like to join in and hear the keys you'll need an FRS radio capable of using CTCC codes and an earpiece that can be mounted in your helmet. After we've had a chance to make a few jumps to iron out the problems I'll post the channel and CTCC code. That should be all you need! Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #119 August 13, 2007 Scott, I have an actual air to air system that you can speak to one another with while in flight/freefall/windtunnel/aircraft that we used in Germany to key the exits from both aircraft. A few of the guys that were at Summerfest saw it and used it as well. If you or anyone else is interested in it, let me know."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #124 August 14, 2007 Quotesince Matt has a mouth full of bite switch I don't think he'd be very understandable. Not a problem. I've used the system with my bite switch on several occasions during FFCs. The mic is located inside the ear and rests along the wearers jawbone so you don't have to move your lips or open your mouth any wider than it takes to hold a bite switch for your voice to be transmitted clearly.
