Klaus from Austria, who was just in Wilderness?

I'm looking for an acro pilot named Klaus, from Austria, who was just in Wilderness until a couple of days ago. He was flying a yellow and black Skywalk wing.

If you know him, have him get in touch with me! I forgot to give him my info before I piled into the shuttle for another run.

Thanks, y'all. :)

Rollover/Headober from HotAirBalloon

Hi everybody,

I'm slowly mentaly preparing for a Hot Air Balloon jump in rollover/headover.

I want to know if there are any tricks/clues/rules or informations on the risks of a Rollover jump.

I know the main risk of falling into the canopy if the pilot don't jump far away from the balloon.

Is there any other riss or rules to follow to make a perfect jump?

I red the Aerobatic Book (from Xandi Meschuh and Mike Kung) section on the rollover but there was not so much information

D-bagging Regulations

Hi All,

I'm currently in the process of getting d-bagging approved within Australia. This is mainly so we can d-bag from helicopters at air shows. This is all so new to our federation they didn't even know what a d-bag was until a few weeks ago.

If anybody has any information that may be relevant to this that I can show my federation I would really appreciate it.

The kind of thing they are after is d-bagging operation guidelines, helicopter drop guidelines, d-bag packing methods and alike.

I really appreciate any help anybody can provide!!!

Thanks
