Sassy, you disappointment me. I thought you were the exception that proved the rule and were an American who understood irony! I suspect that 212man knows that one has to be "legless" to consider jumping out of a Robbie (or was it "legless" to even get in one in the first place!)

When I did my first solo (in a Schweizer!), I did not compensate enough for the lack of my instructor's 2 hundredweight and shot up into the sky out of balance! If he'd jumped out while I was hovering (and he may have been tempted a few times)? Dread to think! Can you have Dynamic Rollover in the air?

Cheers
