Congrats on the successful reserve ride. As for your canopy, only a through inspection by your rigger will determine the cause of the malfunction. Yves.

When I went to Lake Wales, last december, the gas price was between U.S$1.60 in upstate New York and U.S$1.29 in North Carolina (the cheapest). Yves.

By the way: Do you like your new Cobalt? Yves. -
Yeah. His name is Robert Rouvreau AKA "Frenchy". In the winter, he goes to Lake Wales, where he's the "fire chief". Most of the time, he jumps at least once a day while he's in Florida. Yves.

I remember reading a book about the first square canopies. They were said to open.... "hard". A quick look at the picture, revealed that there was "NO SLIDER" on the setup...... Yves.

I'm very happy with my Pro-Track. The Neptune is pretty cool too! However, I have a friend who's done many jumps with both a Pro-Track and a Neptune. The jump data he got, was very different on the Pro-Track and the Neptune. I dunno about the level of customer service provided by Alti-2 since I don't have a Neptune, but I do know that the customer service of Larsen & Brusgaard is outstanding. Yves.

I keep mine on a separate belt. Not on my chest strap. I like to have my altimeter a little lower on my belly. To do so, I use a large (comfortable) nylon strap originally used to secure large TV on a TV cart. They come with a nylon buckle that won't break easily. I also put my hook knife on this belt. It's basically a 2" inch nylon strap, with a Fastex SR-2 quick release buckle. http://www.bretford.com/resources/downloads/Cutsheet/b_accessory_SBandSBCL.pdf (Pease note that the safety strap I use is a little different from the one pictured here, and modified a bit. It's not the one that's adjustable with a wrench). http://www.parsonsadl.com/Details.asp?ProductNo=17B024 (for Canada) Or, for U.S.A http://shop.store.yahoo.com/pentagondefense/blacsidrelbu1.html Yves.
