But, oh man, it has a different 'feel' to it. Of course, carrying 30Kg on your back, does't make it any easier and the 'hi' hanging points force me to lengthen the toggles (control lines) by about a foot. Well, at least I've learned now, a 'forward' launch is not my cup me tea. Lets hope next time I will be 'up and away'.
