I opened up at about 2500 and it started spinning,( check alt) it was about into ( I'm thinking chop it or stop it) the risers when it stopped, check alt, 1500ft, cha'chink! RSL beats me, Pull reserve handle anyways, fly Tempo 210 into farmers cow pasture. Another jumper followed my main and freebag, the freebag landed on top of my main!!! What luck!!!

I had to chop mine once after spinning it up on opening, I wholly attribute this to my body position and packing. I only had about 20 jumps on it at the time, now 200+- jumps later I wouldn't trade her for anything... ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Well the Heat wave is a fully elliptical high ZP performance canopy and exhibits most of the charateristics common to elliptical canopies. It tends to stay in dive longer before returning to level flight, its more sensitive to control input, you'll have to fly it and your body thru the openings more so than the Hornet, its faster and will probably have lower glide ratio but more lift and flare on landings. Whereas the Hornet is semi-elliptical ZP and is not nearly the hotrod the Heatwave is at the same wingloading... I currently fly a Hornet at 1.26 and its a great canopy, if I were to call it a Nascar Racer then the Heatwave would be a Formula One Racer. Both of these canopies are IMO reliable, well made and by far cheaper than comparable canopies currently on the market. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

There was a thread awhile back about a big guy who wanted to jump and some DZ out west modified a tandem rig for him. Also I saw some stuff about tandem manufactures converting or special orders for big guys... Do a search... ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

QuoteWhat's the advantage of a Protec vs. a Protec half-shell? The half shell doesn't provide the same amount of protection as a full Protech, something you might be in need of if the helmet ever has to do its job... Get the full Protech for the protection and easier to mount the audible. Safety is free use all you want! ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

robzay, yes, I'm putting weight on the leg. Little bit of pain and tenderness. See the doc again on Monday. Hopefully will be starting physical therapy so I can get my butt back to work. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

TRY to get it thru a South African Distributor if the Exchange rate is favorable, the $600+ including shipping were prices from folks who did that. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

It comes with two (2) spare sets and changing depends on how much you use it. Spares can be had from L&B or ordered thru Radio Shack. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

What percentage of your friends are skydivers?
ChileRelleno replied to riddler's topic in The Bonfire
All skydivers are my friend until they prove otherwise I've hit 33states and 54 DZ's and I think I've met maybe 3 or 4 people who I didn't like...Assholes can be anywhere... ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868 -

A simple search of the GEAR section provides many user reviews. It seems that the Skytronic cost less but has a few problems and that customer service might not be A1. The Protrack cost more and also has had a few problems ( L&B has corrected most) but the customer service is A1. I personally have a Protrack and l'am completely satisfied, well worth the extra money. http://www.dropzone.com/gear/Altimeters__Audibles_and_AADS/index.shtml[url] ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Yo weatherman1977, Please go easy on the frivilous non-skydiving related polls. Sangiro our webmaster (aka HH) has already removed this wonderful option once due to misuse/abuse, such as half the page being frivilous polls... After waiting awhile and asking very nicely we were able to get them back.
