Has anybody bailed out from a Libelle or knows anybody who has?
IIRC Steve Dedman bailed out of a Libelle circa 1992.
I've lost touch with him; JS - do you know if he's still in Camden (Oz)?
I'm sure a few others must have bailed out of Libelles.
I'm just wondering if the two rear pins act as a pseudo Roeger Hook
and/or if you need to guard against the canopy clobbering your head as
it departs
Sorry, don't know...
Be careful out there (and for heaven's sake use FLARM),
Of course, though its only an LX RedBox with the default display, which
is all I have panel space for. I've taken care to use the range analysis
tool on the FLARM website to fine-tune my antenna installation. I
regularly use it to check that coverage is adequate.
