    There are 2-3 knowledgeable people in Eloy (or a couple hundred). My first suggestion would be to talk to your instructors, maybe after jumping hours, talk to Square 2, ask around at the Bent Prop. You will already have some real people advice. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    Why do they warn you about them containing wheat, but don't warn you about palm oil and corn syrup? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    What does MFS stand for ? from the videos I have seen, it seems it is some kind of intermediate (or rather head up only) freefly and belly down. 2 performers + 1 video person. Seems very fast and interesting. Are there any rules / dive pool posted anywhere ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    Because my home dropzone is Perris, so I am kind of accustomed to that level of load frequency. The last thing I want being a college student is having to drive 4 hrs every week back and forth to the DZ and only get to make a couple jumps because weather or tandem get in the way.well, either stay in Perris (or similar), or suck it up and discover skydiving in the way most of the world does it scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    Depends if you care about fashion. Mechanics overalls work just fine and are available in many sizes for cheap. do you think he cares about fashion? He ordered a Liquid Sky suit. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    Try sending a message to BKR here on the forum, that guy knows quite a bit about Basik gear. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    Spain or Portugal would be your best options. I would recommend getting in touch with Nigel Holland (nigelh here on the forums), either via PM or on his Facebook account. He is based in Empuriabrava, easy access from England, he is a Brit and can even be funny sometimes His website is https://www.absoluteskydiving.com/ scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    couldn't find a Basik Tandem today, but found a SB about the closure of the main container, which shows the drogue bridle/3 ring, the double loop, and the main closing flex pin. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    I had a little over 300 jumps. Had my suit already for a couple of months, but waited the occasion to have a decent coach (Fred Fugen) to get me into that beautiful disciplin before even stepping into the suit. And comparing what he taught me with what other people tried to teach me, I was soooo right to wait. Patience is one of the keys. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    IIRC it releases the drogue which In turn opens the container. Will try to get pictures tomorrow scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    On The Basik tandem, you can pull the drogue release handle and it will go back in place with the bungee. There is no stopper like on the Sigma which will prevent pulling before the drogue is set. It happened to me to pull accidentally the handle (without noticing) and get an open canopy when setting the drogue. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    I would ask the solo if he is OK to jump on the next load for free. If not, any other solo on the plane. If nobody, the RW team jumps a 3 way... After that, responsibility would need to be taken, and find out who screwed up, is it the RW team or the manifest ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    what is a parasuit and what is a gliding suit ? Do you mean parachute and paraglider ? I didn't visit your site, but are you talking about fabric permeability testing machines ?
