    I would not think like that. We have a skinny guy an he was able to fly formation with an S3S and the wingsuiter was not flying dirty at all. Here is a video about it.

    It depends on what you want. If you want to have a logger only. WBT-201 is one of the best. Small and sensitive with right enough battery for a whole day.

    I'm sorry. I've read your book and I know your background. Spotting and jump runs were different. I've been to some loads where people were using squares and rounds mixed.

    I do not fear it. I just don't like way it "flies" and I do not like the way it lands. There are areas where it is superior, but that is not sport skydiving. Why none wants to have a triangular reserve BTW? I have 3 rides on PZ-81. It does not have free-bag, it has a steep glide, so you may sink into tight places and you can flare it on landing. Oh best for the least: cut your main away, because a square and a triangular won't fly together just kill each other and you too.

    Really? Small chicks are flying 120s here, from 80+ jumps....

    Are you a troll??? Every canopy is a compromise.

    Would you jump your regular airfoil from those planes? Why would you think that a round reserve would be fine for usual "turbine operation"? "You spot for your reserve...." As I told, I had 9 jumps with RS4/4A round system. One of them was from

    Its not just you. . It was there, but not anymore.

    Can you make it dive by using double fronts? I quess not, because its huge. I've seen Strong tandems landing in break surge in regular basis. It may help, but I manage to break my ankle under a Nav220 with break surge(unintentional).

    Do you demo or jump new canopies in no wind or turbulent conditions? My progression was something like Nav220-260-280 to Merit170 (2 jumps only), Navs again, than Pilot 150. I know it was far from optimal. I had like 50 hop and pops before I could say that I can fly and land that thing.

    I got one when I had Neptune, Optima, Garmin Geko 301. No damage, all are water-proof or at least water resistant.
  12. phoenixlpr
    That was not my quote. I guess they don;t trust the winds either. AFAIK they use rounds on low altitude and intentionally into water...

    Someone should provide some statistics. What is more likely? A. Having a reserve ride with and able to steer reserve. B. Having a reserve ride from a false positive AAD activation? C. Having a reserve ride while jumper is unconscious. I don't have data to support this, but I think A > B > C. I'd be rather under a highly loaded square reserve after cutting a line twist away, than land a round reserve where the wind blows me....

    This quote is taken from incident forum. Here goes my opinion. I have not got any cypress fire yet, but I have 9 round jumps so far. I jump place surrounded by high risk obstacles and hazards like forest, lakes, etc. I prefer to choose my place of landing over that minimal benefit of round reserves that I don't have to cut my main away in case of using reserve. Using round reserve is not a solution for false positive AAD activation.

    Those are valid for any kind of donwsize......

    Good luck on selling that!

    How many jumps on that canopy? What is your wing load on that canopy? Well all you can have is a single stage flare. You have to hit the stall point when your feet touching the ground. So you know what to do, but you don't accept. That's you game and your pain. I got a single jump on a PD260. It's a life saving device and not fun at all. My landing was ok.
  18. phoenixlpr
    Don't worry too much. You should be able to handle it with 200 jump. Start flying your new wing in nice medium winds. Take your time and learn it to fly.

    Linking to existing Nitro reviews won't ever make it more legit.
  20. phoenixlpr
    Its quite bogus. I'd rather stay away.
  21. phoenixlpr
    He is 100% right. It takes time to learn to feel how and when a canopy "flare" on releasing fronts.
  22. phoenixlpr
    Thanks for you positive post! It was really nice to read it.
  23. phoenixlpr
    Wow! Here is the next rookie wants jumping with music. Why don't you jump blindfolded?
  24. phoenixlpr
    None can beat your story!

    Here ya go!
