I hate my ex's dog! I want to throw it off a cliff.

8lbs dog
46" pilot chute. 11.54sq ft.

so.... a wing loading of 0.69


i mean, what in the world could go wrong?

Cat, okay fine... but a dog? No Go Mad

How about you death-camp her instead? Wink

8 pound dog? No wonder you want to toss it. The thing probably yips louder than a min pin.

Make it interesting round down to .6

The problem with that is the cat will try to climb to the top of the pilot chute. Then again, you may not think that's a problem.

she got him a chest harness cuz she thinks its cruel walk dogs with just a collar, so he's pretty much set to go.
i think ima try tossing him off the roof into the pool first to see how it goes. he's gotta clear a good 20 feet to hit the pool. wish him luck!Smile
maybe i oughta practice with a brick first to make sure he's got the distance.

Start with a pillow case. Pilot chutes are expensive.

Rocket, the Wonder Dog.

Try to get him all four objects, and he can be the new world champion of canine BASE.
