Enjoy that.
On the 3 openings I had, I could have taken the video helmet.
But the camera would not have appreciated the landings

no worries sunny... still have to get a reserve container up and working..... got a round reserve for the chest container and even got a chest container, just need to get a pilot chute for it and get a little wrk done on it and i shold have it working fine..... luckily one of the local riggers here is a master rigger and has his chest rating and actualy packs chest containers more than onec in a blue moon....

Hey Wingnut

How much you weigh? Nutin personnel the PC will do fine as long as your not a "big Boy".

Hint: Go for the Peas. Winds on a 24 ft reserve can be a challenge. But it's been done.

Mini system damn If you get hurt can I buy it?

R.I.P.

IMO Should be OK, Winds 5-10 mph should be perfecto.
But don't listen to me, I want your retro gear if you get hurt

You would not believe how many jumps I have on one of them. Course it was that or a T-10, I went with the high performance.

Or not. Along with a lot of other folks, I used to do stand-ups under a P/C when conditions were decent. You can flare 'em just like those new fangled square shaped things. Not sure if pulling down the rear risers on landing had an aerodynamic effect or if you were just cancelling out some of your downward speed by pulling yourself up. . . But it did work. A few times anyway. . . Careful.

You will love it. I have 60+ jumps on PC's and a Thunder Bow. Here are a couple of pics taken last year when we had nastalga day. It had been 32 years since I jumped the Thunder Bow (the triangle shape canopy). I didn't realize it was on it's side. Right side up now.
