  1. Your canopy is flying as long cells are pressurized. So your newly modified canopy would easier collapse in turbulence. Is this you really want? If I were you I'd rather learn how to pack.
  2. Oh, the rolling nose myth again. Don't have a device which controls the speed of opening?
  3. flying a wing suit is requires a bit more than spotting. You rather call it flight planning. track1 track2 You have to have a plan from the exit to the choosen area for deployment.
  4. Nice. You are late. You can not catch the bus anymore.
  5. How about...dont dive down agressivly? They want to land ASAP. It was not any problem jumping other places.
  6. I got a question from a pilot how to avoid WS fliers. He is worrying to hit a WS flier when he dives down aggressively after the last man exited. I told him it would not happen, but I could not explain why. Any thoughts?
  7. Can you invite him here? It would be more interesting to read his experience and feelings about flying that canopy.
  8. More BS from the media: Skydiver survives 6,000ft fall without parachute How a blind journalist can write anything?
  9. I don't think so. What I heard that his slider did not come down...so it was not landing without a parachute.
  10. Wrong. Real swoopers flying recognizable pattern.
  11. If you can pull 4-8-10mm with a power tool on a main closing loop free for inserting the curved pin where can you see any problem?
  12. Your answers are here : http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Canopy_Control/index.shtml
  13. Because you never tried. You might try a Katana97, but your body is different, so your WL and experience will be. Becuase he can never try that.... Keep on repeating....... I did jump a Cobalt135 with 12Kg of extra weight, before I tried a 105. My WL was close, but the experience was different.
  14. You are right. Thats not for a faint hearted. Man, don't jump that, you are going to hurt yourself.
  15. You could be under a Katana 97. Is that the reason why you are so sour? Only the time can prove if he is right or wrong. Its never the canopy, it always the pilot.
  16. Are you really surprised about it? There are 2 factor for high front riser pressure: flat trim and low wing load. I guess you had both.
  17. I have seen a log of "switching on" the Cypres in one club. I know only one day when we jump longer than 14h and this is a party of the safety briefing on that day.
  18. We have even cooler tandem masters jumping 11 cell canopies. They are really cool.
  19. I guess as long as you are a student you instructor can decide what you can jump. I jumped 220,260,280 as a student.
  20. When you out of the student program.
