    Skyhook RSL is not the Holy Grail.

    Think again! Those might have gone to BASE, so they can pull as low as they dare.
  3. phoenixlpr
    Do I get it right? Was it a low delay hop'n'pop?
  4. phoenixlpr
    I think full flight is a bit different than the slowest way of flying and sinking meantime.
  5. phoenixlpr
    That is a wise choice! Most of the surface is white. Its going to be grey from packing/wear and it will have a bad visibility on clouds.

    I think the won't fly like full flight, my guess is something similar way of flying like it would with both toggles down. Anyway why do you wanna fly with something does not pass your controllability check??? You have that check in order to decide to keep or chop. I might chop even 300+ sqft over 600m, there is a reason for that bad flying and things can develop next to the ground from bad to worst.

    I'm not an USPA member, why should be this requirement be applied on me?
  8. phoenixlpr
    No in this place. If you happen to be under a sh*t like described above and over 600m chop. If that sh*t is a reserve prepare a relly hard landing, because you don't have any flare, but a sink. WL adds speed and sensitivity of weight shift into the game.

    If you have to keep one toggle all the way down to keep your canopy fly strait you have no flare, because if you start pulling the other toggle your canopy will turn .

    Here is the Hungarian regulation. All weight is exit weight. Authoried canopy sized is documented in the jumper's logbook by his/her mentor. Canopy Nazis of the world unite!

    I leave the nose where it is and pull the slider a bit in the direction of the nose. I had just soft openings.

    Please give another 5 minutes to my previous post to read and understand. You should notice than I am not a native English. And you may figure out where is the steal plate coming from. Or maybe the skill is from the surgically implanted plate . You don't have to agree with me about my canopy choice. It was my decision and our STA did not have anything against it. Notice that canopy progression is different country to country. How nice is spreading the FUD.

    We do fly by VFR. Check my icon. You can see this well everywhere.

    Ok. Please,share your version of controllability check for student.

    Oh, God! Its a really scary stuff. It should be show all ws-pilot wannabe!

    I've got that lesson on nr87 from a PD Nav220. "If you don't have it in your head, you are going to have it in your leg." I have a steal plate and 4 screws left in my left ankle. Agree. Its important to able to say no.

    I had about 50+ 1000m jumps to feel secure and land wherever I want in any wind condition. Do you call it luck? I wouldn't.
  18. phoenixlpr
    Hmm, I would consider a linetwist as a malfunction too. So it won't ever happen. This spring after 15+ jumps I was just sitting in the door of a C207 and feeling nothing and checking and waiting for my stop to come. Its better faceing your fears than living with them. Oh, I do agree with the rest .

    With a student wing load I don't think that's really count. I can make a nice 90 degrees turn with just weight shift, that could be equivalent with a 1/4 or less toggle turn, but under WL 1.3-1.4+.
  20. phoenixlpr
    If you have to pull one toggle all the way down to fly strait you can flare at all. No flare ? Its must be chopped.
  21. phoenixlpr
    Z1. I was sick and tired of fogging google and I needed a palce for my pro-track.
  22. phoenixlpr
    So? And what if she could skipped that jump? IMHO your question makes no sense.
  23. phoenixlpr
    I'm not talking about the current situation. I've started to fly my Pilot 150 @ WL 1.2+ with 124 jumps. Respect and fear your canopy or she will bite you hard.
  24. phoenixlpr
    I've jumped a Strato-Cloud Delta. Am I so old?
  25. phoenixlpr
    So he can live with it or he can break himself. I've started to fly my 150 with higher load and I've survived.
