  1. They are made by parasport Italia, the 2 service centers that I know of are the manufacturer in Italy, and PEC in the US. I have the US address PM if you need it. Jonathan
  2. Jump number 2 with out radio assistance landed 1.5 m from me. Jumps #2-7 out of 6 landing 5 were within 5 meter accuracy. In addition passed levels 1-4 in on day, passed levels 5-7 on the following day. I have had many students that we have succesfully done 3-4 jumps in a day and have really rocked the entire day, plus by being used to doing 3-4 in a day, when they start doing solos they are more prepared to do 4-5 in a day before going home instead of coming in doing 1 maybe 2 then leaving for another month. I am currently on a 4 way team that is kicking ass in their learning and all 3 of my teammates are students I trained last Fall. I have been really blessed to have the quality of students from Georgia Tech that have come through the program. Jonathan
  3. Huh? There were 76 4way teams alone. 76, that was the record for a US nationals. Look at how many teams compete in the NSL. Now how many Freefly teams competed at Nationals? 15,. and those teams are composed of 3 people not 5. I find it extremely hard to believe that FS is becoming a lost art. Thats about as believable as freeflyers should get out first cause they fly smaller canopies. Which is far from the case, because I see as many if nor more FS people flying tiny canopies than the inexperienced 1-200 Jump Freeflyers. Either discipline though I encourage teams to form. Jump with the same people on a regular schedule. DZ might offer some discounts if they see you working hard, which means even more jumps, Plus after a few jumps you figure out fall rate, flyging styles etx so you can actually start to learn something instead of wasting dive after dive with random people all over the place I do agree with you, and think that higher requirements for licensing is good, or better yet extend to an E license at 1000 or 1500 jumps. (dont even want to consider the politics going into who would get E-1).
  4. What about in Tunisia (Pink Skyvan) or Isreal, or Popping over to Greece or Italy. I think all those places have dropzones (don't know distances of area of all). Jonathan
  5. The host (lake wales) will do its best to provide you with Video. They call it a Pool. Worked well in past, did not have to worry about bringing video.
