  1. I envy you much. Ive bought mine, but my gear is in my rigger. Thanks RWS for producing my reserve PC for 4+ weeks...........
  2. I have a Z1 and Im jumping in Finland. In cold weather I might have some fog inside my visor when ground temperature was under +5C. It takes no time to open visor a bit and fog is gone in no time.
  3. If you not satisfied, you may choose different product like Vigil.....
  4. I would ask a rigger if I were you. We use normal bands with PD Navigator and always double wrap them. IMHO with lines its always about tension and not about double wrap.
  5. We have the same practice. Students learn (flat)packing on PD Navigators. Our reasons: 1. not all the instructors can do pro-pack 2. we have 2 checkpoints for students and the first CP cant be applied for pro-pack.....
  6. Im sorry I have an MSc. You need force for that.....
  7. Khm, Its no universal answer. I do doublewrap all line stows, but I(we)m using long ones. My stows are about 3-5cm long.
  8. I had Protrack first, Z1 second. Good combination, I love it.
  9. Yes, Of course . And do you know that psycho-pack might cause cancer?
  10. Why is it so? AFAK we want to canopy spread first than in onflate later. Ive packed accuracy gears, we always did magic on nose.
  11. If I dont have fear before that I should start thinking what I couldve forgotten.....and dont stop util I land. Lack of fear is a bad sign for me. It reminds me that something unexpected can happen.
  12. Make it simple check HC book for expected packing volume of the main(interval of cci ) and the packing volume of your main.
  13. Id love to try PP with my new canopy, but my mentor/instuctor would kill me even if I just think about it.....
  14. IMHO the number of cells make no big difference. WL and form/trim make the difference big!
  15. Majority want fancy helmet...skydiving helmets are sold in small quantites. That could be the reason for high prices.
  16. Interesting, but I still think if ii is 3S thats not enough reason for going plan B.
  17. You missed something. Skydiving helmets are fulfilled the requirments. So the problem is in out requirments not in the manufacturers side :)
  18. One personal question: how many smilies should I put that you get it as a joke???? I was not serious with cleaning it airborne.
  19. I would take my non-flipable visor helmet off if it gets foggy after I checked canopy and traffic, before unstowing breaks. I dont have to drop it, just bind against chest trap.
  20. or you may start with reading manual......
  21. I had several broken line(on opening) it has started to turn. Ive cutted away.
  22. I did some jumps without AAD. I think its normal. If someone cannot trust him/herself its better play golf instead...... One of my instructor is jumping 2-4 way RW without AAD....
  23. I had that problem (from hopNpop )and Ive cuted away.... I had 2 fast mals. Ive cuted away, but my main was hanging on the RSL.
