I thouhgt about that too... but the jump track program shows something called a digital signature and your able to put in details about the jump as well. Does the digital signature not count... the pro-track was on the plane and does have more reliable info about the jump than anyone else on the load.

Since i have a pro track that i use to upload my jumps to a pc, do i still need to document my jumps in a log book to get future certifications?

No...they won't let me jump with it, but after this weekend i'll hopefully finish the initial training and i can use my own gear or rent their's at $75 a day. I'd rather spend mony on my own gear for piece of mind and get a return on my investment when i sell it. Instead on weekends of rental money floating away.

Thanks for all the info. Points taken: 1) it will cost me 75 per day to rent gear In, 20 days i could pay for the rig 2) Don't buy something that isn't right for me 3) Don't buy for the sake of buying With that in mind i plan on buying the Vector II

yeah, i was thinking that too. The other one just seems great being new w/ extras.

Thanks for your input its very helpfull. I'm deciding between that one and this one: one notable point is that the vector i could get for about 1300 and this one would be 1700 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_reply_write;parent_post_id=2422883 "Hey Well it is a Dolphin container all black with a custom white dolphin. the Main is a 9cell raider 220 with black and white pannels on one half and all black on the other. the reserve is a 7cell maverick 200 all red. it has a botom throw out hackey. I am 6'0" 235 and it fits good. also I had a friend try it on and it fit him as well he is 6'2"185. It also comes with a digital Altimeter, log book, matching gloves, and packing bands. I have never used it even once. It is BRAND NEW. Never finished my training and then moved away from my drop zone. any other questions let me know I will be elk hunting all weekend but will get back to you on monday" Which looks to be better a buy? Also, i planned on focusing mainly on free flying.

Thanks I'll ask about that... one other thing what do you guys think its worth?

true i should have put the height fact in there. I just cut a pasted what he gave me. Also, i would install an aad and rsl if i buy it.

my hieght is 72- inseeam 33- 20= 19 MLW

I'll be finishing aff in a week and looking to buy my own gear.I not really looking for advice on wingloading ratios, but really do need some advice on buying my first rig. What do you guys think about this one?....and whats it worth? *enclosed are some pics of the setup Thanks Container is a Vector 2 V-5 DOM 06/95..rig has approx 450 jumps on it. it is set-up for RSL and cypres but does not have either on it . It is set-up for either ROL or BOC. Container has brand new velcro and has been freshly washed and cleaned. New collapsable pilot chute.
