    I got some trouble with my kill-line PC on a Pilot150. If the PC was not collapsed I got a weak flare or a terrible landing......so what is your guess?

    Have you skipped some class from math? 1,740.00 EUR = 2,237.77 USD But most likely you don't have to pay germain VAT....

    I second the Viso, like it a lot, couldn't stand the mechanical alti's Sure! And don't forget to take you Polaroid sun-glasses for jumping.

    I got 2 pillows on a student rig. I used them in wrong order...

    Why not? Thats a 7 cell with similar material too. It packs smaller than a Triathlon 160.

    I stick to my think leather gloves even in the hottest summer too after shedding my palm with the glass rolling door of a 206. They are really expensive like even 4 euros. It would take a week or more for my palm to heal.....

    Its a really bad idea, even prohibited in some countries.

    No sh1t. Somehow you have get the difference between your braked speed and full glide speed back, that might take time too...

    Have you used gloves?

    Chest and leg straps are part of the harness.

    Than please explain how you can get a horseshoe malfunction with a spring loaded main pilot chute.

    If you get a gear with ripcord deployment its usually on the right side of the main lift web. Than go back and practice more...

    Than why is the big surprise that you can not full double fronts if you have extra speed? Anyway that cookbook is not really useful. Canopies do not like to fly double fronts and a break surge might not me a good idea in turbulence. Right thing is gathering speed in consistent manner, than extending the dive if its on the higher side or releasing if its lower.

    What force? I would be surprised if you could do that. What you described is quite common with that class of canopy around that WL. Try to explain why do you need step 1 before step 2!

    I have sold my Pro-Track for similar reasons. My Neptune manage to log every jumps so far somehow.

    What a proud cargo you are.
  18. phoenixlpr
    Sure and just with a harness turn.
  19. phoenixlpr
    So? I've seen zippers on new demo impacts....no more connectiors.

    I can see my profile with Neptune.

    RTFM. You need a certain amount of free fall to get those data.

    Are you talking about the regular 2 point seat belt? I would not interfere with my gear. Its simple and safe to use on your lap and make it tight.

    me to, Shane, me too... but i was just kidding bro - i am not removing the tattoo. let it serve as a reminder - I could have been a contender! How about your JVX?

    Has any doctor told you that you can jump again? I broke my neck 2 months ago. Doc said I could jump in February. I'm inclined to listen to him. For what it's worth, seeking medical advice online is a pretty stupid idea. As a doctor. Explain the rigors involved and or ask when you can do similar sports. Contact things like soccer and football, etc. Plus, the answer is different for you and me. If I broke my leg I would probably start jumping way sooner than someone with a few hundred jumps. I have more canopy piloting experience and am willing to accept some added risk. Look, he was coming for a little hope, not for medical advice.
