Has anybody bailed out from a Libelle or knows anybody who has?


IIRC Steve Dedman bailed out of a Libelle circa 1992.
I've lost touch with him; JS - do you know if he's
still in Camden (Oz)?

I'm sure a few others must have bailed out of Libelles.

I'm just wondering if the two rear pins act as a
pseudo Roeger Hook and/or if you need to guard against
the canopy clobbering your head as it departs


Sorry, don't know...
Be careful out there (and for heaven's sake use FLARM),
