    How about taking that weight as water like gliders do? :)

    Can you tell me, why do you need more than 360 rotation?
  3. phoenixlpr
    You are right, but I was right too. Your point is TCO and my was just the price.
  4. phoenixlpr
    I've check prices. 50 euro gain is not a big temptation to jump that bandwagon.

    Buy a used canopy. Its a good start and you are going to exchange it in 1-3 years and would not suck with packing a brand new.....

    Shoes

    phoenixlpr replied to xlh883's topic in Gear and Rigging

    Depends on the weather. I've used snowboarding boots in the winter, boots in cold weather, running shoes in normal and sandals in the heat. Sandals are not practical in the swoop pit with sand and gravel. I prefer shoes with slick/flat bottom with wingsuit. It is a pain in the ass to remove booties from trackion shoes in WS jump. I slipped on dry hay even with traction shoes . I know a man who prefers to jump with bare feet in the summer time.

    He should know the answer too.

    Nice splash :)

    Why do you suspect that I can not pulse dial a phone by hand? I'm an engineer . Yep, It can be. I was taught to pack square mains toggles/reserve risers facing against reserve containers. I have not seen or read about counter example, but original question has some sense. Yeah, there was a time that I could pack a round main too.
  11. phoenixlpr
    Yes. I did my homework. Ok. Not before buying, but that is a different story.
  12. phoenixlpr
    LOL. How about using common sense? What if you buy a new microwave? Do you read the whole manual? How to warm food there? Do you check if it has something about drying pets inside?

    I don't know, but it won't make your life easier. Don't worry so much. You are the first owner. It's almost as slippery as the PD's and you'll sell it after 300-500 jumps anyway.

    I had about 150 jumps when I got my new Pilot and I still remember how much pain was in the ass to pack it. It's not impossible just challenging (suck big time).

    I'm not a rigger. Ask a rigger ! Anyway it has to be tried. If you have it can be seen is it a fit or not.
  16. phoenixlpr
    About what?
  17. phoenixlpr
    If you have not ordered yet you may find used from Classified.
  18. phoenixlpr
    Here is mine.

    Define bigger pack volume! Both wants to reinflate.
  20. phoenixlpr
    If you would have packed a Cobalt, you'd see a huge difference. 15 was enough for me. It is not a fight if you have control. Me too. Mine was a really good teacher.
  21. phoenixlpr
    I've packet Sabre2 with 100 jumps, it felt more slippery than mine around same number of jumps.
  22. phoenixlpr
    Its inside. Somehere around the hip part of the suit.
  23. phoenixlpr
    I can promise you blood, sweat and tears on packing if you not chosen to buy a used one. The material almost as slippery as one PD uses.

    You don't have to think in so big. It's a football field and it has running track around it. The spectator's area is not higher than 8-10 meter. Agree. It's not a hope. There are goal in the middle of the short side. There are athletic equipment in 2 corners. The middle of the field can be the target and the rest is escape route or safety margin.
