  1. I ordered a new Vector and wanted to have to louie loops. Now I receive an email from the dealer that sais: Do you have an idea why they are not offered on Type8 risers? I am used to Type8 and have the feeling the risers are easyer to grab in an emergency situation (traffic avoidance). I am not a rigger but see no reason not to offer them for type8 risers. Do you have an idea? For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  2. Sad news! Would it be of any help to them if we asked around to borrow some gear? I could offer a Next with a 170sqft Sabre-2 for jumpers of aprox. 1,90m and a Phantom it this helps! How about the sponsors in such an "emergency" situation? For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  3. Hi, as far as I know the hook knife on Vetor3 riggs is positioned on the leg pad. I am sure this is a very good position except for one situation - wearing a wingsuit. Is there a "Wingwuit-mod" to move the knife to a better (for Wingsuits) position like a mudflap? For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

  5. Is this the same time as the PCV Boogie in Moorsele? I would be sad to miss one of these two boogies... For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  6. Nice ride - good job recovering. This makes me think about working time. I usually pull at 4k and would not like to pull under 3.5k. Is loosing 2k of altitude typical for this situation? If yes, this would mean to stop working at 6k to 5.5k even on a 2-way. Imagine this type of action starting at 4.5k finding yourself just recovering at 2.5k. Sounds scary to me. I often worked on 2-ways until my pulling altitude since my buddy pulls at 3.5k and I pull at 4.5k then - maybe I should rethink this.

  7. Saw a paraglider wrap in his canopy once - looks very ugly and their reserves fall really fast! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  8. I load my Sabre-2 170sqft with 1.3 to 1.4 and pull at 4000ft I am happy with both choices. The Sabre-2 tends not to twist often and if it does rarely turns. I once had it starting to turn and dive with twists but could kick out of it. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

  13. Hi, I use a Sony PC-1000 in a RAWA Helmet and would like to connect a HyPeye to it. The problem I have is that the LAN port of the PC-1000 is on it's right side facing towards the helmet. If I plug in the HyPeye's plug there is no way to close the camera box any more. Is there anyone who uses this combination and could send me pictures on how he solved the problem?
