I just bought a new rig and was just had a question about porosity. The rig is a mt1-xx it has a 4 jump camouflage main with bright white lines. The owner did not know how many jumps the reserve (Paraflite 370 sqft F-111 DOM 1990) had, but he said he tested the porisity of it to see and it came out a "5". Is this good? He said it was good, but I have no clue about porosity. what say ye? disregard spelling

Broken steering line and bruised tailbone
cvfd1399 replied to cvfd1399's topic in Safety and Training
It was a 370Sqft f-111 paraflite loaded at about .93 I have 9 jumps. I did practice flare at about 2k but it is hard to see results in the air. I have never landed on rear risers. It was rental gear, Pre jump inspection by myself and 2 employees. Rig was packed prior to my arival at dz. Unknown number of jumps, and type of material for linesets. Proally is what ever came on the canopy from paraflite. I agree it was a learning experience for myself I will always keep in mind the PLF from now on. As far as stalling the canopy goes, it never stalled it just flattened out it's angle to a "level" flight, but never made it to a full flare. I might have started to flare too late. Typically do you start a rear riser flare earlier or later than if you were using toggles? -
Broken steering line and bruised tailbone
cvfd1399 replied to cvfd1399's topic in Safety and Training
Well I had my first nuisance mal yesterday. Jumping a mt1-xx deployed at 3500, and bam instantly into a left had turn, I figured that the a toggle must have unstowed , but when I looked up half of the right control line was trailing behind the canopy, and the rest was still in the stow. I unstowed the left brake and then put the ripcord in my jumpsuit knowing what was about to happen. I did a controllability check, and found that I could still seer it although turning left was a bitch, so I decided to make small right hand circles to stay on the spot I was aiming for. At about 100' the wind picked up and I found my self sinking straight down over the taxiway, if it would have stayed the same I would have made it over the concrete and into a nice patch of soft grass and mud. So here comes flare time and I reach up as high as I can and do a pullup on the rear risers. it did not flare as much as I had hoped and I landed square on my tailbone. I was stunned and could not move for about 30 seconds. I rested a sec and people came to check on me. I decided I wasn't as bad off as I thought I was. Today my ASS hurts to sit and stand! Here are my lessons learned 1. Never fly over anything that I do not wish to land on. 2. When in doubt PLF! I am not sure if a plf would have broken my ankles or knees, but it never crossed my mind. So I could not do anymore jumps this weekend, I will wait a few weeks for my ass to heal. Now I am gunshy about landing. The two good things are that I lived and nothing is broken, and I got to do my first CASA jump(beer) before it broke down. That tailgate is GREAT! If anyone has anything to add to this PLEASE post. It is all about learning. -

I love towers, but I do not know enough about the sport yet to try it I use this site to find, and find out more about towers in my area. You just enter in your state, and it gives you the listings of tower heights(in meters), owner, type(free standing ect), and county. The only thing is you need a gps to find it. It is like a brochure for towers

If you are starting out Aff then yes it starts out there then moves down as you progress in training. Right now I use ripcord deployment, and as a non A card student I pull at 3,500
