    Student do not switch canopies. At least not here. We can always repack if there is any doubt. Or pack it after we jumped as it was .

    Thanks. I did my googling too: From Sony DCR-HC32/42 manual, page 106: ***Your camcorder is not compatible with cassettes with Cassette Memory. But, TVR900 and TRV22 is.

    Time or Age?

    You seem to have to much time in hand.

    Why? I do not wish anyone's death, but they do teach by example and they won't be forgotten.

    If you can not face the dark side of BASE you do you jump or want to BASE jump?

    It is a part of the picture. That is the other side of the cutting edge. If you can stand it what are you looking for here?

    What a privilege is jumper over the desert!

    You can see that 2 pilots are not better than one.

    I've seen miniDV tape labeled with 4k memory chip. Do you know that which camcorder brand/model can use that? Does it worth the extra $? Thanks!

    The fact of being compressed does not tell anything about quality.

    I have seen this along canopy demo, but they used a special bag holding the PC+canopy+risers+D-bag organized way. There can be a minor check of the risers: RSL rings should be on the same side than they were before it got disconnected.

    I'm using a half mini rubber loop on the break ring for storing line excess _on_skydiving_rig_. I was so dumb to store excess on one side over the ring. I was fighting with it for minutes after opening. That side did not want to open... and I could not see why. It took weeks to understand what was wrong. Pull-up cord might cause similar problems if its left there.

    miniDV tape with or without 4K Chip?

    That is not a primary source of information. To Be Ignored.

    Thanks, those are good resources.

    I think the main factor is time. If you dressed on some level it takes some time to chill out. We are jumping out from a warm aircraft. You might spend 10-20 seconds with climbing out and max 60-70 seconds with freefall. So we can be exposed to high speed winds for 90 seconds only. I use 2 pairs of gloves in the winter. I don't feel cold in freefall, but I feel cold after I have landed specially from my fingers.

    Try to PM CobaltDan here.

    Its nice to hear you have enjoyed so much. I've started jumping from that plane. Its good for a fun jump, but you can easily find better planes for regular use.
  20. phoenixlpr
    No it does not. She still can not pack but cry....
  21. phoenixlpr
    How can you ask that? It's a question of life and death. You know you can not freefly without ff pantz. How dare you jump if the color of your gear and jump suit does not match. You can not be even a member of a 4way RW team either.
  22. phoenixlpr
    Yeah. Some people choose their rig, some people were chosen. Try to get into the first group. You see it right and you can see from my profile I own a VectorII and I do not freefly, because I should not. Main pin cover opens quite frequently. I've seen people flying a V2 on CRW. I would not buy it again.

    I have seen this before. Crying does not seem to help with packing.
