It was this most frequently jumped spot in our Southern France gorge (small ledge 8 m below edge of cliff). Video is in skydivingmovies.com, link is somewhere in thread. Same configuration for last three jumps (deep brakes + 48" PC). Fido

It was completely calm. No wind at all. What could cause tailwind? Fido

Harness Snekor is common in France. http://www.base-jump.com/index.php?Tp=news&Lang=fr&Id=83 Fido

Ah, that's why there will be quota next year. No more than one half of UK chick for one French beach. Fido

So you guys in UK are pretty save. Nobody comes to Europe to explore English girls. Fido

I have FoX 245 with two brake settings (deep and shallow), loaded at 0.67. It's old style FoX without vents and with 4 upper control lines. Vere experienced jumper watched opening from edge (behind my back) and he also saw video (camera man was 20m on my rigt side) and he does not think it's stall. It was very similar to what you described (positive angle of attack). Fido
-
But why it was fine on other jumps? Fido
-
Yep. Deep brakes for slider down. But wasn't like stall. Canopy just open with leading edge much higher then trailing edge and i swung back like pendulum. Then it was fine. Second jump that day was perfect. Fido
-
At Sunday after 1 sec delay canopy slided back few meters and then started to fly. I sent video mov00046.mpg to www.skydivingmovies.com. Any ideas about what could cause it? Fido
-
For me it improved after about 60 WS jumps. Body is used to it. I guess best way is to do a lot solo flights. Fido

They changed some details (to solve durability issues), moved zippers to sides and changed country of production. Zippers on sides of legs = new S-fly. Fido
-
Which one? Old one (S-fly) or new one (S-fly Expert)? Fido

pbla4024 replied to unclecharlie109's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Could you send picture to compare S3 and V1 leg wing width? I'm pretty sure you have red and white S3. Thanks Fido -
S1 is in fact more difficult to fly than S3, but it's just small difference. I think S1 is as good as S3 as preparation for Vampire. Fido

Those are special waterproof outdoor jacket zippers. Fido

I heard unclecharlie109 made 4 min 25 sec this summer in Klatovy from 9100 m. There is article: http://www.anect.com/fly Fido

And what about HP Big Grabs (slider up line-over mod) by Morpheus? Anybody knows them? Fido
-
In August there was article in Paramag about heliboogie in Kjerag with picture you are looking for. I could scan it if you want. Fido

I made one one jump in Access and one 2-way (my S3 & Loic with Access). Here is profile from Neptune. Position is strange, you must keep wide angle between body and legs and hold arm wing all the time. Designer told me his minimal vertical speed is below 100 km/h. Fido

Waycool makes some wide angle lenses for 25mm. www.waycool.com.au. They send me one of them in envelope for 130 EUR. Fido

I jumped it. What info do you need? Fido
