RW16

Guys, My ProTrack doesn't log flight over 2 minutes, by design. I needed Audible/logbook and got last week Neptune2. Out of 5 jumps it logged wrong 4 (openings after 10 seconds out of the door or started logging at 4K feet and etc.) It seems that modest flare in flight trick it to canopy opening. Jenn from Alti2 was honest that Neptune2 wasn't designed for wing suits. FYI I have v2, average flight from 13 to 4k about 2:20. I'm working on body position for longest time. What do you use to log time? Are there any Audible/logbook on the market that would work with wing suits? Thanks, Vlad

I was looking for right angled cable for some time. Finally got it from 'extremerecall'. $50 not cheap but for me it is worth it. I video 4 way and it was a hassle to take camera after every jump to dump video to VHS (camera is side mounted) 8 times a day. Now I just attach cable to back of my helmet where I have 3.5 mm jack. Pics attached. My understanding they can do variety of custom cables. I was surprised that no one at DZ.com used them. BS Vlad

Guys, What camera/lens one should use to be able make picture like this. Also what triggers the camera shot? Print should be quite big, couple feet. Thanks

I have Z1 for 2 years (200 jumps) + 4 hrs in tunnel. No problems with it except narrow angle of side view. Now, it’s not that important to you. But in couple of hundred jumps, if you will do more serious RW, it may. Try to look behind while in arch. Z1 have the narrowest angle of most full-face helmets. Now I have Factory Diver, it has the best side view, lightest, simplest, cheapest. The reason I didn’t get the Oxygen, was inferior flip visor. It’s not as solid as Z1’s, doesn’t flip all way up, and may open in free fall. Besides, having Z1, I found that I don’t use flip visor as much anyway. Also take a look what best teams use, that’ll give you an idea.

Guys , I had Airspeed camp last spring, was a blast ! For $2k I got 2 1/4 hrs ($1100 base camp+extra time, Orlando). It may be possible to get coached time for $550/hr. For $2k that would be 3.5 hrs. Is it worth to pay for world class coaches on my level (~200 jumps, 3.5hrs tunnel)? Would it better to have individual coach for less $$ and get extra hour? Thanks Vlad

I failed L4 3 times. My first AFFI didn’t want to jump with me again. Got sick of it, went to tunnel. On next jump I did L4,5,6,7,8 combine, become popular (kidding). No problems after that. Another VERY important thing. If you would want to continue with RW, you better off learning right flying position, the box they teach on AFF is just for survival. The tunnel isn’t cheap, but this is the best investment you can make so far. Later on you will spend years and much more $ to fix wrong flying. My wife did tandem and will do AFF soon. But not before she does the tunnel camp. You will get stable in the air in 5-10 min of tunnel time (~$100). Based on my very limited experience (3 hours in tunnel), I’d go for the camp right away. Feel free to pm me. Good luck.

Hi guys, Where I can get training video for RW ? What would you recommend for the beginner? Thanks
