  1. Hey everybody! As the title states. Paypal ready, am located in FL, US. Mounts wise-would prefer monstertech
  2. The last ramp is 10 seconds of 9G and you must stay conscious without losing vision to pass. G's are easier to handle in the jet.
  3. You need to be able to pass the 9G profile, which works you up to 9G over 6? profiles. The last profile is a continuous 30 second G strain that ramps. Starts at 9G, drops to 3G, jumps back up to 9G, drops to 3G and then goes up to 9G again until the end. It's hellish, but 9Gs in the fuge feels different than 9Gs in a jet.
  4. Hey everybody, so I haven't read a whole lot of the thread but noticed this last night on Giggles stream. The G-LOC is a little wonky in the Viper. So I'm just a normalish guy. Been in the Air Force for 13 years, not especially athletic although not out of shape. The last 2 years I've been an F-16 GIB. I went to centerfuge with zero strain training. The 9G profile is required to fly in the 16. Take this for what its worth, but a dude who had just learned what a G strain was, then thrown into a centerfuge where I would do sustained 9G did not G-LOC. I barely even lost vision. Squeeze the butt, push out the stomach, and breathe right. Now after two years of lots of BFM flights, it's laughable how off the Viper G-LOC seems. Also to the guy who said the feet are above my butt, at least in the backseat that is not the case. Maybe if it was 6 foot 2ish and had the seat ran all the way down. But I'm 5 foot 8ish on a good day, so I run the seat all the way up or until I can put a fist between the canopy and my helmet. I'm not an expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
