Try sending a message to Rene Van Den Berg, president of www.swissskydive.org, he might have some ideas... Or to Dario Jotti, he is quite interested in the big ways I guess. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

Does anyone have more data, vertical speed with brakes set and in full flight? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

I believe you don’t start with the rig because of the necessary increase in speed, which increases the risk. Once you master the “naked “ flight, you can add the rig scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

No Video, but a Horrorstory ... 30th of May 2008 Skydive Lillo, Spain. Detailreport from Danny-Blu in the German Skydiving Magazine, FFX. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=20232i know the sad story. I know they can stall, never saw a video of a Porter stalling with a “good” outcome scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

Sure seems like a porter to me, sliding left door, single turbine, and a tailwheel.Here is an outside video of the plane that stalled. It is an Atlas Angel (modified turbine Kudu) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxH7TFZ_4w8 Here is the startup and takeoff of a Porter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpA3nscy84I Atlas Angel/Kudu General characteristics Crew: One Capacity: Seven passengers or 454 kg (1,001 lb) payload Length: 8.79 m (28 ft 10 in) Wingspan: 11.84 m (38 ft 10 in) Height: 3.25 m (10 ft 8 in) Wing area: 19.54 m2 (210.3 sq ft) Pilatus Porter General characteristics Crew: one, pilot Capacity: up to ten passengers Payload: 1,130 kg (2,491 lb) Length: 11.00 m (36 ft 1 in) Wingspan: 15.87 m (52 ft 0¾ in) Height: 3.20 m (10 ft 6 in) Wing area: 30.15 m² (324.5 sq ft) It is like comparing a Quest Kodiak and a Grand Caravan Now show me a video of a Porter stall. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

Sure seems like a porter to me, sliding left door, single turbine, and a tailwheel.do a search for images, you should notice some differences. And Porters have a sliding Right door, only a couple also have a sliding left door. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

Naaaah, now they publish mix tapes, which have nothing to do with mixing, and the guys have never even seen a tape in their life.... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

12 kg is a LOT. If you find a real fast suit you should be able to spare your body some of the abuse. I would also consider taking some yoga/stretching lessons (if body flexibility is an issue) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

When jumping solo , don’t throw your drogue after exit scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

Marillion fan here https://youtu.be/ZTdOMV-yTRg Thanks for the great memories

You also have Skydive 2 Oceans outside of Paarl, in the wine area

as said above, and I learnt the lesson from Eli Thomson back in the days : Dress for Success. If you want to fly FS, get the most adapted suit you can get. Baggy is not good anyways. In any discipline . (As far as I know...) . Baggy = Flappy scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

In Switzerland you need a minimum of 100 jumps in the previous year, out of which 20 minimum must be tandems IIRC. So if you have 100 tandems you don’t need solo jumps. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

I am not talking about reliability (or communication/marketing regarding reliability). There are "complains" above regarding the silence of Airtec. I would rather have a rather silent manufacturer, instead of having another one announcing completely false results. For example, the manufacturer telling you that units have fired because they have exceeded speed at firing altitude. In that case, 3 rigs with devices turned ON (which was the first mistake, as stated in the manual, you should turn them OFF prior to get in a vehicle). 2 out of 3 (WHY NOT ALL ???) fired while driving on the motorway, on a downhill, in a minivan. I believe that it was not due to "failure of cutting", but in order to reduce the hesitation due to potential poor rigging. The cut failure has only been seen on circular blades. over 15 years ago, not all manufacturers have learnt from this unfortunately (remember the Vigil misfires due to static charge while packing ?? ) You like CYPRES bashing don't you ? I believe we count more recalls on Vigil than on Cypres, with more or less 11 years less on the market. I personally prefer there fire/no fire settings. Vigil is too "fire happy" in my view (it is personal) I prefer the color of the Vigil, and the appearance of their cables though. I would personally go first for CYPRES (even though I like less and less the evolution of the product), then M2, and last Vigil. Then again, this is my personal opinion. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

That would definately be one that springs to mind and one which was investigated by a UK coroner who also questioned the business ethics of Airtec for not disclosing the problem as soon as it became known. i rather have a black box than utter bullshit I know nothing of this incident. But I do know that Airtec releases absolutley no information that they do not have to. Not ever. They are a complete black box and they have a level of arrogance that is astounding. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

If I understand correctly, CYPRES would be 15,5 years provided it is maintained every 5 years scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
