    much smaller....., but i just got one of these and am loving it so far. Not sure if I am enjoying the use of it or the CAD more though. Finding lots of things to make with it in/for the loft https://www.febtop.com I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    I hope this can be challenged and stopped. I did my very first ever skydive as a tandem there and it led me on a wonderful journey. Ik hoop dat je heel veel succes heeft. Wij hebben hier allemaal thuis bijgetekend het petitie. I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    I saw that presentation and was thoroughly impressed. My take away was if the configuration is flying side by side for the student to have them reach up and hold the centre risers so a down-plane could not ensue. With if i re-call correctly steering to be done only for object avoidance. I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    Thanks Robin - the kind words are appreciated. I should add the the rental is unlimited jumps so if you want to make 100 jumps in that month you can for the same rate I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    is it possible to have the gear collected locally by someone in AU? They could then on-ship via UPS/FedEx etc. We have an account with FedEx, if we can help let me know I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    I have seen some new Vortex containers in the last couple of weeks. The pin flap has a modified design to the binding tape which will resolve the issue I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    Full list of DZ's here http://www.apf.asn.au/APF-Zone/Skydive-Info/Drop-Zone-List Byron Bay is close to Gold Coast, Great views Ramblers is hour and half from Brisbane, largest fun jump operation near Brisbane Goulburn and Moruya are must see locations Picton will get you going quick near Sydney but doesn't have much night life for the evenings If you get to South Australia the clubs down there are full of fun people as well and if you get into North QLD its pretty fun too I hear lastly, we do rig rentals at Mee Loft ( meeloft.com.au ) which could be easier than trying to get one every where you go. AU$550 per month unlimited jumps I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    In the US how would that play out for a Master Rigger who decided to take an older H/C without hip rings and install them as per the method in use by the manufacturer currently? Paperwork as its an alteration or no paperwork as they currently manufacturer that way? I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    I learned a fantastic method from Greg Rau at UPT this may be easier for the FOG's ;) lay the canopy on its side.as if going to pack the reserve. make a fold half way between the A & B lines so the lines sit on top and you have fold out side. Repeat this step with the D's onto the C's Lay the control lines on top of C's/D's. Make one further fold of the C/D side onto the A/B side. Roll up and lay into the reserve tray for 24 hours. it comes out lovely I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    thank you to each of you that have replied, Much good information right here and very interesting as always. Oh to be a FOG one day :) for the record here is the label I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    Hey folks, just had to sadly advise a new jumper who did the right thing and purchased gear through a rigger that the reserve in his rig does not have a TSO on the label. The previous rigger states that all Swift Plus were manufactured under a TSO. I personally couldn't pack a reserve without it having the information on the label... ...but in the interest of broadening my horizons I thought I would ask the FOG's here for any information on this subject and if anyone could enlighten me as to whether there were Swift Plus produced without TSO or if they were all under said TSO thanks in advance I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

    not sure about the helmet issue, rather wonder why his hand-cam hand is out rather than on the reserve handle as he pulls his cut-away? Or was it a simultaneous extraction perhaps... I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.
