  1. Ok, this is getting confusing. I want a canopy that will keep me in the air long. It doesn't need to at any brake setting, but i want the option to stay up long. If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  2. I am looking for a low descent rate, doesn't need to sink slow all the time but should when i apply brakes. I think the Pilot will probably be such a canopy. If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  3. and i will also make my Icon explode :-) 190sqft. and ZeroP ist to much. So a Sabre 2 will glide better than a Sabre of the same size. If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  4. Hi, i am currently looking for a new canopy to replace my PD 190 9-Cell. I want a canopy that will flare much better, wich should not be hard to find but will also sink low. I jumped a Spectre 170 last week i thought it sank quite a bit faster than my PD190. What are the canopies out there with a slow decent rate but will be more responive than my PD190? I weigh 200lb out the door. Thanks for any sugestions Frank If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  5. 110 000 km on my Spitfire, i keep changing parts all the time. 160000 miles on a spitfire is absolutely amazing usually the engine dies at 90000 miles. 330 000 km (206 000miles) on my brothers Audi 100 2.3 same clutch, same transmissions no repairs to the whole power train. Droven mostly on the Autobahn a lot of full speed driving. If it does not cost anything you are the product.

    Come on, you know americans don't like to compete in sports the rest of the world does Its just a lot easier to compete in your own sports. Why do you think they invented american football, baseball and basketball?
  9. On a thread in Stammtisch the jumper mentioned it was a 0.3 wide Angle Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  10. How many Jumpers? How long to 4000m? Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.

  13. Germany at the moment is at 20 Milliion Euros or 27 Million Dollars. Your Number probably means the amount the European Union as an institution offered. Comparison at the moment isn't relly possible because the numbers rise daily. Also some countries the government donates more, in others its the people themselevs donate more. In the end, just go and donate some money. I will right now. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  14. Anybody have any information on the status of the new windtunnel in Hungary? The webpage doesn't really say much: http://www.windworld.hu/en/index.html Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  15. 30 days weekends don't count. About 8 holidays in Germany for everyone, depending on wich state you live in. I don't think there is a real limit for sick days except if it geats really long. If you get sick during your vacaction, vacation days don't count, but nobody i know really uses this possibility. Franco, total days of possible vacation (overhours + vacation): 66days If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  16. yes jumped it in Eggenfelden in sometime this year.. If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  17. Well, WNE stands for Wingloading never exceed. So i guess never means in any case or for anyone. Not such a bad idea to recommend an ultimate limit. Nonetheless i don't think it will improve fatality statistics much. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  18. Am I missing something, or am I missenterpreting this in some way? I don't own a copy of this book, so can't look at it for refference. No, i made a mistake. It should read: Substract two points for canopies above under 150 square feet. If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  19. I am just reading "The parachute and its pilot" by Brian Germain. On the topic of wingloading there is a chart wich contains the maximum recommended wingloadings depending on number of jumps, altitude and canopy size. I am courious how many jumpers are actually within their limits, so here is the chart: Wingloading / Number of Jumps 1.0 /
  20. Contact http://www.paradavinci.de/ i am not sure if they are the manufacturer, but they are the shop in Altenstadt (or Hohenfurch) where that thing is produced by Weckbecker. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  21. to answer your question. Look here: http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/helmet_cameras.htm Friends of mine are using these cameras and are very happy with them, i will go for one next season. They are just a lot lighter on your head and are easy to get snag free. Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.
  22. Clicky http://www.blueskytunisia.com/index-en.htm Ok, i do have specific questions.. How much does the jump ticket cost? Is this the same place that the pink skyvan flies at in February? Franco If it does not cost anything you are the product.
