Radar Guns and BASE
How would you employ such a system and for what reasons? (be it 1 or many radar guns)

What would you study? (be specific: ex: openings, how they correlate to different wind conditions?

For the most part this would be just for personal information and this type of study probably has already be conducted.

Also throw in your own questions beyond the normal boundries... think ouside the box

I have a feeling he has come into posession of a radar gun and is looking for things to do with it.

It'd be unfortunate if his radar gun only worked in the dark - he'd never get to use it.

Re: [leroydb] Radar Guns and BASE
did a jump and had my bro get a reading as I left the object.

as I took a 1 sec delay I got up to about 36 MPH +/- from the time I left the object till the canopy opened.

on landing I came in at 13mph +/-
