  1. Can you find anything better to do? Just leave Purple Mike alone.
  2. What if you have to use your reserve? That's a 7 cell too.... How good is that? Is that for free? I would not buy any full F1-11 canopy as an all around main. Any canopy even over 1000 jumps can fly better than an F1-11 like your pick. Any square, semi-elliptical ZP or hybrid main canopy can be right for you.
  3. I had that. Its really bad. It failed to work 10% of the time. The pin was stucked in the window and PC was not collapsed.
  4. AFAIK hard housing can be retrofitted. Unstow mal I can imagine from the user who forgot to stow the breaks....
  5. What is using velcro doing with the type of the canopy? I'd rather have hard housing on risers. It can save you like on a line twist. There is nothing wrong with velcro on risers.
  6. To swoop: Perform a diving turning manuver in order to throw yourself at the ground at an insane rate of speed and incredibly steep angle; only to miss by the narrowest of margins. You missed the whole idea! to swoop: to gain as long horizontal flight over the ground as possible by all means necessary
  7. Well, well.... Even with a subterminal opening the wind would blow your hat off and your roll would be intact. Nice try.
  8. Half is getting into the bag, the rest is religion. For the speed of the opening, there is a sophisticated device installed on your canopy in order to control the speed of opening....
  9. Check my video, having a nice roll on the tail keep the packjob intact after the first fold. If you roll it underneath it has a tendency to open from the bottom middle on the first fold....
  10. Been there, done that. I got a new Pilot. It felt like a plastic bag coated with silicone. No packers here. I had no other choice if I wanted to jump it than learn and pack it. Psycho packing was out of question.
  11. Ya know, I think everything has been covered here at least once. If no one posted because they found everything they were looking for by searching there wouldn't be much point in having a forum right. Sorry I fucking hate replies like that. Search is broken....
  12. First of all that is not a new canopy..... you can pack a 600-800 jumps beauty fast with any method. Have you tried to roll a new canopy? Its almost as much fun as try to fold it.
  13. Here it goes a new canopy in the bag in 3 minutes with S-fold. Show me if you can do it faster with rolling.....
  14. Did anybody else need to clean their underwear after watching that? FYI you don't need a straitjacket to have fun like that...
  15. Just a lot, it depens what are you aiming for....
  16. I can recommend searching here. There are tons of answers for type, brand and even size.... Your answer is coming from the top right corner...
  17. I don't think so. The next 3-5 might search first.....
  18. So why would you even answer the post? You did the very same thing.
  19. Don't worry it would not happen with you for long.... What speed? Than jump hop and pops and CReW. Flying a wing suite is not just another skydive but it does not require any special canopy or way of packing. You should jump any canopy you are confident with....
  20. Someone should write a FAQ and make it sticky......
  21. If you jump a full RDS your d-bag is connected with a line or lines to the slider. AFAIK that line is packed inside the d-bag. Than can be a source of line burn.
  22. + garbage packed in that cell.... One friend of mine got a blown up cell by packing a small piece of wood in.
