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), Best Regards, Dave
