  1. There was yet abnouther wing suit canopy thread with wing loads too. Thats not a valid question. You should check and ask for the German regulations, because there is no such a thing like unified European regulations about skydiving, although a FAI CoP and TSOd rig can me your life easier.
  2. Contact Aerodyne Research, they provide support for Hornet.
  3. I was flying solo. I only bird I could meet was my shadow.
  4. It has happened several times that I forget to do a full flare in high winds. That hurts. How many perfect landing can you remember, how about bad ones?
  5. What can you learn from a perfect landing? But you can learn much more from a bad one.
  6. It could be easier to get a set of risers with those size of rings you like.
  7. Do you mean controlled flight into terrain?
  8. Hummm....Leading Edge heaters for wingsuits! My God, I'm gonna be RICH! Okay, your idea, I'll cut ya in for 10%! I had an icy visor too. I might need electric heating for that.
  9. How about flying through clouds with wing suit in icing conditions? That's my contribution for today.
  10. I had 3 WS jumps and 1 attempt a bit cloudy and icing conditions. I've landed the plane one, because got overcasted between 2000-2500m. I was falling through clouds 3 times. I got ice all over me, on my helmet, visor, wing suit. I got some light problems with navigation, but I've found my way back. Is there some way of de-icing? Or should I apply it internally?
  11. I have not jumped in Eloy yet. Jumpers don't like to walk anyway.
  12. Does it really matter? None wants to land far without an audience. We have 2 landing areas: some grass in the middle and a small sand/gravel area close. Only turbulence can move people go for grass for sure.
  13. Are you kidding? They have no detailed wind info, just a ground track from GPS.
  14. Why to pretend? If you can have a proper door?
  15. Why? Are you serious? Landing without audience? Walking if we can just fly back?
  16. Try to convince the STA or CCI. and when it is the same person ?? Someone on the national safety committee?
  17. Smaller canopies usually does not suffer from the same problem that bigger sizes might have from the same model.
  18. That's interesting. I have started skydiving from an An-2. The door was open time to time on hot summers.
  19. Oh, you should be really soft if that would be a threat for you. After this you can expect some rounds of Jaloviina-Lapinkulta + sauna.
  20. And some people thought the finns couldn't fly/drink Take it easy! This might not be a winning policy.
