Gday all, Just wanted to know how much difference there is between freefly pants and a whole suit? Ive only done a few FF jumps but I wanna try do a few more and buy a suit or pants as well. Would pants be good enough or will a whole suit help me more? Cheers
-
Ive always been told that a reserve is still airworthy up to 20 years past its DOM or after it has had 20 jumps on it...anyone want to clarify this?
-
Damn that freeway extension...not much use for it with Princess Hwy already bypassing Pakenham! Oh well at least it's one good thing the Greens are doing

Damn dont know how many times ive seen those aircraft 'logs', last one I read was from and 'actual' log of some Russian Carrier hehe They havnt had any accidents where a fatality occured, just ran off the end of the runway in Bangkok and I think one of those inflatable slides popped open inside the cabin once, dont think they is much more apart from that BTW: Its QANTAS not QUANTAS Queensland And Northern Territory Airline Services Theres a bit of useless trivia for all you guys

Like most other people have said its up to you really, if your instrcutors believe you will be fine (have u asked all or most instructors including the CI?) and you are confident yourself then u might consider one. Myself I bought a 170 (@1.2) at about 50 jumps and while my first 4 landings were...interesting I had no problems with it. I have 150 jumps now and recently bought a sabre 150 (@1.4) and love it...however I plan to stay at this level for a long time to come and I realise if i fuck up then its no one else fault but my own.

The director of Rigging for the APF has only ever made one jump himself decades ago...

skymick replied to Rookeskydiver's topic in The Bonfire
Hmm I think I can be classified as a PCSS, however in my case it would be PUSS (Poor University Student Skydiver) -
Try a Fistfull of F1-11, its got a lot of BASE from oz and around the world, lotsa BASE bloopers (the guy hitting the Petoria tower under a canopy with line twists is an absolute pisser), theres a bit of vintage BASE from the westgate bridge and a bit of stuff from the XLR8 boys.

Hey all, I was wondering if a 170 (sabre) would be able to safely fit inside a D-bag which is currently housing a 220? Cheers Mick

I know over here in Australia, you must have an AAD until you have your C license (100 jumps) as of Dec 1st it will be until you have your D license. If you have a D and no AAD you must hav an RSL until your E license (500 jumps)
