That's not what he's talking about from what I read. It sounds like the brake line was wrapped around the line group, then run through the guide ring and attached to the toggle. You're not correcting that mistake mid-flight. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Reserve wingload personal limits for HP canopy pilots
Kris replied to jose's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I can't remember the thread, but do a search. Hooknswoop did several test jumps using a tersh rig with large reserves and a tiny Stiletto in 2-out scenarios with no major issues. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ -
Starting with a 170 just to try it out is even better. At your size, you won't notice a huge difference between it and a 210, but you will notice some difference. Especially if that 170 is a more modern ZP canopy. Listen to what your instructor has to tell you for now, as he's your instructor, but also listen to that voice in your head and don't be afraid to take things slower, and at your personal comfort level.

1:1 on a 210 canopy is a huge difference than 1:1 on a 120 canopy. Honestly, as an instructor, and without knowing her canopy control skills, I'd recommend no smaller than a 135, and I'd prefer to see her on a 150. From what she wrote, the smallest canopy she's jumped is a Fury so that's a large downsize to a 150 already. I recommend getting a demo 150 Sabre 2, Spectre, Pilot, or Safire 2. Jump the piss out of it for two weeks then decide if you really want to go smaller. I'll almost bet you'll find the 150 enough of a challenge to enjoy jumping one for a couple of hundred jumps.

Are you on it with logging your jumps?

Well, duh! -
I don't know where that one is, but here's Scott Miller swooping the piss out of a Navigator 220. This just goes to show that it's almost never the canopy, it's the pilot that matters. Navigator Swoop Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Kris replied to SkydiveNFlorida's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
That's easy, I just don't let my students see my logbook. I used to be very meticulous about keeping my log book up until a couple of hundred jumps back. Like Stacy, I used to write novels. Now I just fill the square with info from the entire weekend and I'm usually about a month behind on filling in my logbook. However, for really special jumps, I'll fill it out right then and have it signed by whom I'm jumping with. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ -
Ummm.....yeah....I'll just politely disagree on this one. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Perris Valley has this waiver. IIRC, it's because of the large amount of demo gear that is used from Square 1? There was a discussion on it here a few months back. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
