Can someone explain no-sew finger trapping method ? Is there any link ?
-
No, 0-3 cfm low-porosity is “F-111” type fabric, 0cfm iz ZP (zero-porosity),....

I was convinced that Springo has very old design, and poor flare. And that I would't be satisfied after relining. So it looks like I'll be buying Atair radical 135. I hope that openings on radical are better than cobalt openings,...

Yes, Atair is closest to me. http://www.basetroll.com/ I talked to them they will do complete relining.

I just got line trim specification from PdF and it looks like some lines are even 9 cm shorter. Specification says 1 cm is tolerance. Lines looks white and in good shape. Should I keep jumping or it is possible to retrim ? Could this be one of reasons for low flare power ? Should I stop investing in old canopy design and buy PD ??

I am from Croatia, and I have a (Croatian) instructor rating. Riggers are not yet needed in our Country. But, when we travel to other countries reserve must be sealed by rigger. That is why I want to go to course,...

Hi, Is there any rigger courses in Europe ?? USA is to far away from me,..

How steep track must be ? Does it have to be black or red is enough ?

Hi, I would like to try speedflying with Springo 140 this winter, and I was wondering if there could be some wear on canopy because of speed flying ? I've done some ground launchings with accuracy canopy parafoil 272 and it had to be very steep slope to start flying and there is no school for this in this part of Europe. But some small experience in paragliding will be enough I guess.

I've installed kill-line pc, made 3 jumps, and difference is huge!! I have a lot of more speed and more lift at the end. But most obvious change is when I pull front riser for a hook turn - turns are steeper and gained speed remains for much longer period and I was able to do a nice swoop from 90 deg. turn. Also canopy is really stable now during flight and much easier to control. I've loosen my chest strap and leaned forward for the swoop but I seam to forget to put one leg in front of another for stability, but I was able to do standup landings like this also. I love my springo 140 :)
-
I also forgot to mention that this rig doesn't have kill-line or bungee, because genius who originally ordered rig from pdf wanted standard bridle and ZP pilot chute,... Could this be also one of reasons for 'low flare power' ?
-
Can you explain, please? Is this done by only using toggles or do I have to use back risers during flare ? I've looked in Landing section and I couldn't find anything about 2 stage flare.

Hi, I have problems landing Springo 140 (loaded @1.25) on no-wind day. I have about 100 jumps on it and I always fly straight in. I was told that duration of flare should be 3 seconds and that I should finish at ground level. But I usually have to run it or I slide on my but. I've tried adding some speed with front risers (flying straight in) but Springo recovers in 2 seconds Also, recovery after front riser or toggle turn is very quick,... I am not interested in swooping, I am just looking how to improve my landings. I am even thinking of buying Sabre2 150 or Pilot 150. There is no one to help me on my DZ (only accuracy jumpers).

Hi NWPoul, I am looking for Harness/container for accuracy canopy for me and for one jumper from my club. I use classic 270 main, and he uses classic 304. Does atmogear have TCO ?Quote

Hi, Does anyone know some info about Russian manufactures : http://www.atmogear.com/ http://www.paraavis.com/ http://www.zvezda-npp.ru/ppd/ About quality, durability, general appearance, etc... Maybe some of you riggers has seen this gear ? Jerolim
