How come you landed so hard?? Don`t you put on a bit of flare??

[parachutepilot7]

yea I always pull up to 200 fpm down plus a decent amount of flare which usually makes for a really smooth landing but it's always rough when the field is muddy, I guess it's cause the mud builds up under the wheels. And I was holding the camera in my hand so my hand bounced a little too.

how much did this vechicle cost you?

[parachutepilot7]

This one is a single seater so it cost about $7,500 but i think the price has raised now to about $10,000. The 2 seaters are around $15,000 - $16,000

Wonderful ride! And I'm glad you posted this without music. I love hearing the fan and the wind and any other sounds you hear while flying.

This is a Buckeye 103 Legal Eagle single Seater with a 450 square foot apco parachute.
