General BASE

Brake Settings
We had a bit of discussion about this a while back. I highly recommend that anyone looking for some more information on this read Dwain's post at BLiNC.

I'm pretty sure Dwain has forgotten more about BASE than I will ever know. If you've seen Beyond Extreme or Fistfull of F-111, he's the effeminate looking blonde Aussie surfer boy who apparently violates the laws of physics.

Note that some of the advice Dwain gives (customizing DBS on BR canopies) goes against the manufacturer's recommendations. I am firmly convinced that Dwain is right, and BR is wrong.

Would you have anything to add to Dwain's analysis and explanation of backsurge on the vented Fox?

Thanks,
