The best thing you could do is go to your rigger and ask him those questions. Probably 99 % of the people who will respond to your post have no clue what the German rules are. Different countries-different rules

Humidity is important factor as well. Dry = bitch to pack Humid = easy packing If you jump in the desert , don't try to pack anything that a manufacturer located in Florida say it will be tight. You might succeed, but you will regret every second "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

The difference is that in case you trim the cables, you have to report that to Sunpath! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

There's an update on this SB "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

With the free advice you just gave, you are going to change the life of some rigger someday somewhere "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

What about some PC in tow that ends up as two out? I've seen it once. It was way above 2,5k. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I don't know about the Jump Shack risers, but on the PdF risers with snaps there's no hole on the Ty 17 webbing. The snap is placed on Ty 3 tape and the tape is sewn on the riser. One more thing. If you want to place the snap on the Ty 17 webbing, you don't have to punch a hole. You can work your way through the webbing without any damage.

You are right Jerry

This one is much better. I can't really tell from the picture, but it looks like the buffer going around the thin piece of the adapter is too short. When you put loading on the MLW, the small piece should be able to move forward to lock the webbing in place. If the buffer is too short, this forward movement will not be possible . Then again, it's just a picture and it's hard to tell how exactly the buffer is routed. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Are you sure those were Aerodyne soft links? Arodyne soft links are easy to undo. PdF soft links on the other hand are pain in the butt. Both soft links look alike,but the French ones are shorter and they are not made to be routed through the eye and above the ring.

I don't know is there's any relation to the thread, but at some point Aerodyne reduced the cap size diameter of their RPC. From 15 to 13 cm. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

It's a long shot, but check the routing of the type 12 buffer around the adapter. Is there a piece of webbing between the 2 metal parts of the adapter?! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

My CYPRES just came back after the 4 years maintenance with that feature. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

The tunnel sessions are normally 1,5-2 minutes . 90 seconds from 13 500ft will give you AAD fire ( if you have one ) . Don't forget that ! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Good advice, I would add to go very slow; it is when you just 'have to' get it finished is when you sew through a couple of wrong layers. BTDT Just stay ahead of the fabric. JerryBaumchen All of the above + I use clamps to keep what I don't need away from the presser foot. But the most useful trick I saw is having a big table around the sewing machine. The one I saw was something like 3-4 sq. meters. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Because the AAD worked as designed. The Skyhook didn't. Fair enough?! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I couldn't disagree more. Take a slow motion footage of the deployment. Look at the free lines right after the d-bag leave the container . No tension on the lines inside the burble area is a really bad idea. I agree that the opening feels better with longer unstowed lines, but ( IMO )the risk of a line half hitching behind your side flap stiffener ( or pin cover, or... whatever is there ) is not worth. Before I started testing stow less and semi stow less bags I've had about 300 + jumps without line twist. In all those jumps the free stowed lines were 40 cm or less. Before that I've had many twists using whatever rubber bands I could find, PC's not sized for the weight of the bag etc. The key is a good PC , rubber bands located in the middle of the bag and equal line stow tension. Get those things right and you don't have to use the two,three or six feet unstowed lines "magic". "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I'll tell you a secret....the manifest chicks hate you

I went through my home database. That's the trim chart for Tempo that I have here. There's no 190 "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I've never seen a Tempo 190. Was it a typo, or I've just learned something today

I'll check our H&C graveyard for something a bit older.... "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

Hi Jerry, Good enough ?! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

I didn't see it here yet. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

This trick it's working only if you start stretching the lines from day one. What I mean is that if you have a new canopy and you stretch the lines every 30-50 jumps, you will have a good result. If you have a canopy with 4-500 jumps and you stretch the lines the trick would work for 5-10 jumps only. My canopy has about 300 jumps ( Spectra 725 lines). Right now it's off trim by 2/3 inch. I'm stretching the lines twice per season ( which I found useless because the time I need for that is 45 min. to an hour and that mean I've spent 6 hours to keep the lines in trim. For the same time I can build my own lineset) I can't comment on the strength of the lines. So far so good . I'll let you all know if I break a line . After all, it's not worth the trouble. It takes time and if done wrong, it will give you funny openings or the canopy will not fly straight ( depend of the size of the canopy of course). If your line set is new and you know how to do it , and you are willing to spend the time....go ahead. In any other case, reline is the answer .
