Big-way, hard pull, reserve, biplane, tree landing

Perhaps I've misunderstood your post but how did you end up with 2 out when you never deployed your main? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com -
How about a "search PMs" option? Would be very useful for me right now! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Thanks for the heads up dude. Are those the 'standard' landing areas? Maybe that info should go in Horner somewhere. Or maybe it's already in there I need to learn to read better! Agreed. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

At least you're honest! I've never been to Bridge Day and I don't know dick about dick but I'm going to offer my £0.02 anyway. If you're dead set on doing what you've described then my guess is that BD is one of the best places to do it. I'm sure others will offer more educated opinions. BD faq Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

1st stowed was number 13 I think. That jump's a bit odd, you have about 1000 ft but have to deploy at around 4 seconds if you want to make the landing area, so I did about 4 seconds. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

I don't have any details, just the picture on JumpTower.com and a text from one of the new world record holders! Nice one. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Both work by measuring air pressure. People used to use stopwatches but working by time could really catch you out on a 200 mph head down jump . I'd go for the Pro-Dytter. Good product and outstanding customer support from L&B. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Steady on Sparky, we don't need to be that unfriendly. Spirit, people are suspicious of users with no real info in their profile. If you fill yours in (click here) you'll get much more responses. What is your post saying, that the Cypres fired on the ground? Wasn't there a case of this at the recent world record where someone landed close to some source of radiation? Is that a possibility?

6 days and 13 jumps with Team Crank and friends. I didn't take my camera so all the footage I have is of me. What a shame . Get it here. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Thanks guys. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

I'm bored at work and wondering whether I could make it to Twin Falls for a week around September. What's it like that time of year? Weather? People? Does the boat operate? I promise to leave my waterskis at home . Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Had a text from a friend out there saying that the girl in question has a broken finger and concussion but will be ok. Hope you guys are having fun and may the weather improve! Gus From mosnews.com: OutpatientsOnline.com

I did one at Z-Hills with the runways all lit up, it was pretty cool . Would love to do some more. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

I'm about 6 ft and 170 lbs kitted up. After 80 or so ws jumps on my GTi I can just about nudge my averages under 50 mph. It took a fair few jumps (40 odd) before I could get it under 60. I borrowed an S3 a few weeks back, flew it horribly and came down with a 49 mph average! Mine's due August 11th

I love to see all these projects that people are working on. Looks interesting, especially if it can perform as well as a Classic. My initial questions would be: How easy it is to pick up the wings if you drop them mid flight? And is there enough material on the arm wings to cover your hackey at pull time? Could be a pain since once you let go and go for the pull you no longer have any direct control over the arm wings. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Robert Pecnik leaves Birdman, starts Phoenix Fly
gus replied to kevin922's topic in Wing Suit Flying
So what's going to happen to Birdman? Was Robi soley responsible for R&D? Who will do it now? Who's qualified to do it? Who owns the intellectual property rights to projects Robi was working whilst at Birdman? Why did he leave? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com -
And how good were you on your third jump? Nice one Kris, welcome to the flock! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Hey Andy, was that in April? Were you the guy having problems with his blow switch? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

I don't really know how it works, is it best to go with a single routine and do it in all the rounds? Or mix it up and do different stuff? We've got the beginings of something but haven't really put much practice in yet. Yeah they'll be there in the Bs. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Team Phats and Small (including me!) are planning on being in the Bs. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

The Hanwags are high enough up your ankle that you can't point your toes as much as normal - at least that's what I've found. For anything other than ws base I don't think it's a major problem but I plan on getting another pair of lower boots for ws stuff - especially if you're jumping something like the S3 where the wing extends right down to your toes.

Instructors video of tandem going in

Is this what you're thinking of? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com -
Hey John, Your situation (no money, no rig) is not unusual, which means that if you're interested in that rig then the likelyhood is that someone else will be in a years time (or whenever) if you come to sell it. Yes it will depreciate but any rig you buy will do that. The worst case scenario is that you end up with £690s worth of rig that you can't sell and you've 'lost' that money. But if you bought a new rig for £3000 and sold it a year or two later you'd do well to loose less than that anyway. IMHO, the questions you should be asking are (in order of importance); Is it airworthy? Is it suitable? (main/reserve size and type, your exit weight, your experience, the dropzones where you jump, the type of jumps you'll be doing etc) Is it good value? Do I like the colours? .

Nice find Phree. Anyone know whether Chuck Priest is still working on his designs? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

I heard that they've been discontinued due to Aerodyne being unhappy with the openings and that they're starting from scratch on a new design. Anyone else heard that? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
