  1. Yeah, it seems I have missed the high speed impact. Thanks.
  2. Have I missed something? I can`t see the connection.
  3. Unix is NOT open source. Unix is a trademark owned by SCO with other right around the original source codes.
  4. Whichone are you talking about? OSX is based on FreeBSD and Mach kernel.... Thats not thier scratch, I think.
  5. So you know how to do a braked turn. Well done! You can advance to the flat turns now. :)
  6. Check this: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=47 It seems he does not know how things are called. He has described braked turns....
  7. I`ve got my bulletcam delivered. I`d like to mount it to my Z1. What position do you recommend to mount it? If I mount it to the center, under my chin it exceeds 5 cms, or should I take the side? The plan is using a metalic frame and epoxi or liquid plastic + glass fiber.
  8. Progressive flare? I had plenty of jumps on F111 canopies. Flaring those was just pull toggles down until the stall point.....
  9. I have ~70jumps only in my canopy. I`ve checked and untwisted my brakes, but still....
  10. Over what WL can I expect harness turns? I`ve noticed some little, but niticeable left turns of my gear recently. Can it be a reason?
  11. I`d like to have this: http://www.stackltd.com/dvrharsh.html
  12. Wow! Sounds like a paratrooper. They love it, because they have not tried anything else.
  13. One of my friend has told me that he has the talon on the list of most hated for reserve repacking. Its just about taste.
  14. You may get better ones. There are bullet cams with 480 and 520 TV lines too.
  15. Thanks. How about the drawbacks? I know all suit is a kind of compromise comfort,easy handling vs. performance.
  16. Does it have a custom 3 ring system? It wouldn`t be practical if you want to demo a canopy....and thats coming with the risers.
  17. I don`t think that a perfectly good canopy should have a locked toggle.
  18. Im sorry. I`m not a birman, just a wannabe. I have to have more freefall, before I can take the course. Is that good? I`m just playing with the idea to pick my first suite. Gti and PF Prodigy are my candidates. Prodigy looks more simple.
  19. Would you compare their beginner suit with Gti, please?
  20. You know they give a stand-by signal on 300m. Several units give that signal in some seconds interval.
  21. Yes. It has happened with me too. HAve you noticed that pro-tracks are giving the turn-on sign with some seconds on the same load? Not at once but in 6 sec? Have you noticed that Pro Track won`t log your jump if you have less than 5 sec freefall? Why dont you set the 1st or 1st 2 alarm a bit lower? If I jump from 1000m I set alarm to 925m. Pilots fly about +-50m accurate or sometimes a bit higher :).
  22. I`m not sure but It may happen that those bail out rigs having a different TSO category than skydiving rigs. I`ve seen max 400km/h limit on our pilot`s bail out rig.
