    Hold back your horses! Every canopy has its nickname :).

    Spinletto?

    Why do you start with the helmet? Usually you can rent a helmet. I`ve seen skiing helmets in use in Finland. My first piece was an altimeter. Than a Pro Track, jumpsuit, Z1 helmet....

    I love it too. I don`t need tips and tricks to pack it for soft opening. I have not demod it before buying, but I think it was an excellent choice.
  5. phoenixlpr
    Nope. We don`t have any like that. But there are jumpers using that around. Some of them are satisfied, some of them not fully satisfied. Sure. Thanks for your offer. I like to pack it. It was more challenging to pack in the beginning. I can pack like hell, but its still opening soft without problems.

    Are they having a bad reputation, because of they were sold in a big number? Try again!

    I donno about CA, but in Hungary and in Finland C license is required. Mostly for off airfield landings, I think.

    And these kind of incidents are more frequent with some certain type of canopies. Why, oh why?
  9. phoenixlpr
    I have not done mine, but I`ve got some info. I think 3000feet won`t be the biggest problem. Picking the right landing area could be. I was told that I have to pick my landing area by myself from midair. So prepare for landing off and without the help of any (artificial) wind indication.

    Well done! It was a good decision. Others can say anything on the ground. Welcome to the club!

    ??? Nav 260,280 was not planing out with me. Nav220 was a different animal. In my case it required 2 stage flare. I had 80+ jump on F111 canopies, 30+ on a Maverick(200sqft) ~WL 1.0. It was not planing out, but I could get an acceptable landing with it.

    I`ve jumped from 3 different, but I havn`t noticed that.
  13. phoenixlpr
    Sure. Go to logbook section push SET 3 times, wait some sec, and adjuct the number of jumps you have there.

    Broken ankle by jump nr 87.

    Not just in UK, Finland too.

    I`ve seen that way. Women wear belt or west inside, guys wear belt outside.
  17. phoenixlpr
    I`ve seen worn then inside and outside too.

    Some years ago I saw a student coming back without a helmet. The helmet landed on the field witout any damage.

    Better? Its is just a question of defining what is better. I have 9 jumps on RS4/A East German made rig used mostly in military. They are about 74 m^2 in area. They are more reliable, but more than 14kgs in weight, its a pain to pack and landings were unpredictable. Over 4m/s wind you can expect to land backwards.... Would you exchange your current gear for a RS4/A /BE-8(round reserve) ? No? It seems your current gear is 'better', than that.

    I don`t want to convince you. It`s up to you if you want to be a test jumper.... BTW I have Slinks on my main.
  21. phoenixlpr
    Well, I`ve checked my logbook. I have 80+ jumps with F111 200sqft or bigger. I have about 40 jumps on a FC Maverick ( 200sqft, 7cell ), but I don`t feel ready for this step.
  22. phoenixlpr
    Well. It`s not recommended to stow the break line excess in the risers. So if they do it against the manufacturer`s recommendation that their own stupid business. http://www.performancedesigns.com/docs/ControlSysMalf.PDF

    What was the reason of your two out?
  24. phoenixlpr
    Wow. It sounds logical. Is there any reason not to do that way?

    How was the Pilot?
