  2. To work out wingloading, take your exit weight (you plus kit etc) and divide by canopy size in square feet. I'm 200 pounds out the door, and my canopy is a 170, so my loading is abou 1.2. Have a look this for psycho pack instructions Let's go play chicken with a planet !!
  3. That would make a great video !! No chance of you losing the reserve p/c and pilot chute after a mal Let's go play chicken with a planet !!
  4. Just a plain bit a of velcro will hold it in - just look at how the liner is held. Should be ok i think. Let's go play chicken with a planet !!
  5. As far as I know, they operate exactly the same way, but a canopy has a fixed angle of incidence (unless you're playing with the risers). Let's go play chicken with a planet !!

  8. I haven't had a cutaway YET, but my procedure is to pell the pads up and away from the velcro before punching them down - I want the pull to be as easy as possible - I don't want to be fighting new velcro as well. Let's go play chicken with a planet !!

  14. It can happen if you forget to cock your pilot chute, thus not creating enough drag to pull the pin. That's what causes it most of the time. Let's go play chicken with a planet !!
  15. For the people with who use Z1's - where does your audible sit? Mine seems to sit above my ear - shouldn't it be level? Let's go play chicken with a planet !!
  16. Agreed - most, if not all, Dz's I've been to have only a very basic medical kit (including one in the plane). I think most injuries on the dz would be from bad landings, where immobilisation devices would be useful. Let's go play chicken with a planet !!

  20. A man walks into a bar with an octopus The barman looks at him side ways and says why do you walk round with an octopus, The man replies he's alright, he's actually very talented, Talented the barmans replies, what can he do? The man says he can play any musical you can put in front of him! No way says the barman! Yes he can the man replies, I'll bet £50.00 on it! One man over hearing the conversation walks up with a guitar, the octopus picks it up and plays it like Jimmy Hendrix, everyone looks astonished and the guitar man hands over £50, Another man walks over with a trumpet, sure enough the octopus picks it up and proceeds to play it like Louis Armstrong, the trumpet man shakes his head and hands over £50, The a Scots man walks up with a set of bag pipes, the octopus just looks at it, The barmans shouts see, he can't play them, The octopus replies: Play it, I'm trying to work out how to get it's knickers off and then I'm gonna shag it! Let's go play chicken with a planet !!
  21. Do what most other skydivers do - drive a beat up heap held together by duck tape, and get that perdy new rig
  22. Dammit !! I don't wanna hear about people jumping unless I am . Although on the other hand, I'm plenty willing to rub it in if I'm jumping and you're not !! This weekend will be good - I'm going to head over to the new DZ in Wales as I'm going home for a week (I'm in uni atm). Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  23. What about 2K Composites FF1 helmet (the new version). I think it would be quite good, apart from the fact that the internal audible port on either side sticks out a little. Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  24. I've seen a few vulcans for sale over here, so I assume you can jump them. The older teardrops aren't TSO'd, and I know people who use them every weekend. Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  25. It's up to about 90 - 100 now I think. Psycho packing was binned about 30 to 40 jumps ago. Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
