  1. ooooops, thanks! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  2. jumps: 620 cutaway: 2 ratio: 310jumps/cutaway ....and dropping
  3. Perhaps I'm a bit old-fashioned, but the word "lady" seems to be out of place there. "Trashy celebutante" may be more appropriate No, as we know, a "Trashy celebutante" moves differently. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  4. pssssssst! Not so loud. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  5. ask the pilot to hold the airspeed mainly by slightly dropping the nose. Some pilots drop with a lot of engine power. With that configuration it should not be harder to get to the strut than getting to the video step of an Otter. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  6. 1st reserve on jump 421, second on 423 For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  7. 5 years without a wingsuit would feel like at least two decades for me. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  8. And purple! In purple we thrust? ;) For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  9. How about a true flying flock? For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  10. Nice to see your new toy! If it fits, I would first do 5 to 10 jumps on it before altering (despite it is really too tight). The suit will stretch a bit in the beginning. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  11. Yup, I also love my Ghost2 and with over 100kg exit weight this is my choice for flocks. But I also think about buying a Phantom2 or an Acro2 for the acrobatic stuff I'd like to get into more. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  12. 250 jumps on my Phantom (1st version) and when I moved to a Ghost2 I was happy I did not use bigger wings earlier. If you upsize just be sure you don't do so to comensate a bad flying style. Then a big suit might even slow down your learning speed. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  13. greek? To me it is. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  14. AFAIK the 71way was never approved by the FAA. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  15. can you really be that bored? For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  16. ***I do, however, agree with him on the fact that the video shows people exiting like a non-wingsuit skydive. I always try to put my head into the wind and fly ASAP upon exit. Is it typically an American thing? I'm not sure, but I took less offense to it than Lurch did. You talk about these poised exits that look like static line students exiting? ;) No, this is not an exclusive American style. Fighting against it here in Europe as well. Many people burn the aircraft's speed on exit just to speed up again after it. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  17. Where is the option "6"? ;) For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  18. 121 but some questions are not easy if you are not a native speaker. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  19. I can multi-task! I retired - want my velcro gloves? For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  20. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  21. Sure, Jarno will serve some Samogon every time he feels like having one. For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  22. Isn't the whole thing about some nylon fetish? ...and ponies! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  23. Info for the Dutch: There is a 50 EUR refund promotion for the CX105 in NL at the moment: http://www.sony.nl/article/2009/10/haarscherp-beeld-ook-bij-weinig-licht For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
  24. Very nice flying and you've really been lucky with the view. The simle after you heard Jarno shouting was funny! Fly with you soon! For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
