Hi Rob, i have a question about equipment. A) which container do you recommend? I maybe want buy a vector 3 with the new skyhook-rsl. B) As main canopy i'am not sure which canopy to buy: Spectre or Sillhouette (loaded 1:1-1.1:1)? Which has the greatest opening security and the easiest landings? C) For the reserve I will choose a PD, a Techno or a Speed 2000 . I think thechnos are the best design and most opening security but pd has the best landings. Or is it a Tempo? Which offers the greatest opening security and best landings? (Sorry 4 bad english) THX 4 answers!! :-)

Thanks. And the Nitro(n)? Or which american canopies do you recommend?

Hi Rob, in another thread (http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=346569;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread) i have ridden that the old F-111-Tandems are "malfunction machines". Ist this a problem of F111 canopies generally or just a problem of tandems? And another question to you: I want to buy a first canopy which is very opening safe, packs & fly easy and forgivingly and offers really soft on-heading openings. Which canopy do you recommend? Do you know more about the Paratec Super 7 (Zero-P 7 cell)? Or dou you recommend Parachutes de France Electra (Zero-P/F111 mixed). Thanks 4 answer!

Thanks 4 answers! The the rig I jumped are: PD 210, Speed 190, Cypres, Javelin.

The first jump in my life was with a 1:1 loaded canopy. So where ist the problem? If it is possible for a first time jumper it is possible for YOU!!

I want to buy my first rig. I weighed 210 in the door. In my opinion, this deal looks good: Spectre 170 (825 lbs Microline) Speed 170 reserve. max. recommend exit weight 212 (very popular here in europe, because it works and packs really amazing small) Tear Drop, hip&chest rings stainles steel, dive loops, harness type 7, mini riser type 17, hacky (BOC), soft reserve pad. And Cypres of course. Is this OK for the first? Blues
