bigbearfng 18 #1 June 14, 2008 Anybody have an exit for multiple WS to keep it tight like you can from an Otter? Thought of on the step, one hand on the strut then a couple WS more behind.....that didn't work! With SM1 just kinda spun offa there! Maybe 3 sitting, swing feet onto step then on count sit up and out all together? Then to get the next three out tight behind the first three? Hmmmm.

peggs82 0 #2 June 14, 2008 The last scenario you described is how I'd do it. Climbing out of a porter SUCKS in a WS. Well atleast where I've jumped them...very high speed made it hard. Say there were 6 of you...I would have 3 of you sit with your legs on the step, butt close to the edge, knees angeled forward to the prop. The next 3 behind diving. Starting with the rear-most guy then middle then front. Divers following. I wouldn't worry about trying to chunk 6 out the door in 1 second... remember, your in a ws...you have a bit of time to group up. Make sure the base flys with the plane for a bit and your good to go! edit to add... I pitty the poor bastards who try to fit more than say 6 Wingsuiters in a porter...ugh....

mccordia 74 #3 June 14, 2008 Side-subject...but putting the base out last and making sure everybody flies the exit, instead of first freefalling for a few hundred feet (with the better flyers exiting first floating back up to the base) seperation should also be much less of an issue... In terms of porter exits, most of the french DVD stuff from loic has some nice examples of a tiny dozen people crammed into the door. But still, a spread and flying the exit more is something that can improve buildtime a lot more than a crammed exit with one or two 'lost' people due to spins and tumbles because somebodies foot is up someone elses nose..:)JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Martini 0 #6 June 15, 2008 I thought the Porter had a low stall speed.Sometimes you eat the bear.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peggs82 0 #7 June 15, 2008 Yeah I thought that too Mark it up to new engine/new pilot jitters. Any who...I still find with the prop blast and the number of jumpers and the large door all contribute to me saying that it is just unnecessary to climb out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martini 0 #8 June 15, 2008 Yeah, definitely easier to pop out from inside. My wife just cracked up when she saw that. Sometimes you eat the bear.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
