    Do you know that there ~16 cm difference between of the wingspan of C172 and C207? Believe or not C172 is wider in wingspan.

    Ok. Get a skydiving lawyer. And what are you going to do with your paranoia?

    I've got it, I've read it, I like it except chapter with exits. That was a disapointment. This URL was a better resource: http://www.flybirdman.com/learn/exits.html for aircraft exits.

    Do you think this is the primary place for customer complains? Why don't you give them a call or send email?

    I live in (Finland)Europe too. Let me count for you $700 * 1.27 ( 22% VAT + 7% import tax is $903 ~ 746.838 EUR. You are a fool. When $ is weak its better to buy from US. And when its time for sell it, none knows if you bought for 800 Euros or 1700 Euros. Delivery might cost about 50 euros, but you can get something for 800 euros that worth 1700 Euros! Think. I don't say anything about "Cayenne", but might have a better deal now. 2 years ago I was wondering about to buy a "Cayenne". I've seen "introductory jump" section in its manual, because "the material is stretching...."......

    For #1 I don't think that you will be able o land those AC unless you are trained for that. I'd rather sticked to my rig and skydiving. I foyu interested in flying take a PPL course.

    I can say the same. Cayenne is just 995 Euros. And whay do you know about Cayenne? I think Triathon has earned its reputation. Check Triathon thread.

    You may get a brand new Triatlon for $700 now.

    The ground had done it already. My test was honored by a steel plate(medical).
  12. phoenixlpr
    I've broken my fibula. I had a plate and 5 screws, but only one, the longest screw has been removed. I was told that they can stay, because they are in a safe place. So I still have 1 steel plate and 4 screws in my leg. I had no problem with flight security checks, not even the most sensitive scanner could detect it.

    Well. It sound like my accident where I broke my ankle on a Nav220. I had a slow approach with 1/4 breaks and I've released my breaks ~20-25m. The ground was coming really fast......and crash. I don't think it was a S-turn in your case. I vote for bad input/low turn.

    I was jumping with a pink/orange gear with a red container. No problem. He has a bad karma.
  15. phoenixlpr
    Yeah. I've read it. Sounds nice. I've asked about my ex-instructor/mentor. I've got a strait answer. If I want to jump in that certain club I would not do psycho/precision-pack. How does it sounds? BTW I've tried to roll my canopy the way it was suggested. That was not any easier either.

    I'm not an instructor, I teach packing from student time to time on student equipment. I think that should be the first step. It is not nice to throw non-swimmers in deep water. Yeah and you can render it to something else or lost it after cut-away. A good chute is not necessarily a brand new one.
  17. phoenixlpr
    I disagree. Having trouble to bag a canopy is not a case of a mental fixation. I've seen student having trouble to bag a PD Navigator with some hundreds of jump into the right size of D-bag. Do you really think that hard for them because we told so? Nope. It hard for them, because they don't know how it should be done. I do remember how was packing my brand new Pilot in September of 2004. It was really slippery from silicone and watching other to pack it did not really helped. I could see what they were doing, but I had no clue why, although I had 200-250 packjobs behind my back. I still remember how was packing my canopy with 9 jumps last spring when It was stored in a dry place. This is your true wisdom. Everybody should have a particular technique to pack a chute, or having problem with them. Or you can call it experience...
  18. phoenixlpr
    That's an excellent explanation!
  19. phoenixlpr
    Why do you make things so complicated? I was jumping any rig given by my instructor. It was so simple.
  20. phoenixlpr
    Thanks again! I've got your message already from your other posts. We(some guys and me) were promiced to have our FFC in June in Utti(Finland). I hope I could have a suite when time comes.
  21. phoenixlpr
    Man, you are cruel! I'd rather take your years of experience away for days and having fun watching you to pack. It could be realy long ago if you can not remember how to feel if you don't know what to keep, what to work with and what thing to take care in order to complete the packjob.
  22. phoenixlpr
    Thanks.
  23. phoenixlpr
    Me too, and check for twist time to time. At least once a day. I haven't ever used a packer.
  24. phoenixlpr
    I know its so oldschool to write books.
  25. phoenixlpr
    ??? OK. I was not 100% correct. I've left the the gravitational force by the skydiver to the earth.
