The vent doesn't bother me exactly, it's just an interesting effect I

that idea at least until the weather turns warm again.


freezing is half the fun of the sport canopy. the "im at cloud base
and i cant feel my toes but im not going down cause im higher than my
CFIG" mindset kicks in.


"To death" was only a slight exaggeration there, I was shivering like mad
and could barely get out of the cockpit by the time I landed. It was a
little more than "I can't feel my toes" that time.
