We do jump in winter (normally we are below 0C from October till late March... and oh yeah, it sucks... ) Yes, fogging might be an issue. Things you can do: - breath correctly (with your mouth) - adjust liners of the helmet (so they don’t block the airflow from your mouth to the vents) - as everybody says - close visor right before climbout - some mild soap with warm water or a solution of warm water and some Baby Oil prevents fogging for a while (apply and let it dry, or remove excess with soft cloth – works for a day) Thing you SHOULD do: Always include helmet removal in you emergency procedures, and train it. We had a nasty incident last winter when a guy wearing a full-face could not deploy his reserve after a cutaway. He dislogged reserve ring but did not pull it far enough, so the reserve pin was not released. His visor was completely fogged/iced up and he could not see the reserve ring not being pulled completely. Cypress save. Always be ready to dump your helmet. Remember that in winter visor which fogs in freefall will very likely ice up completely under canopy. When I jump a full-face it’s a Z1. Right after I clear my space (even before I release toggles) I either flip the visor open or just release the neck lock and push the whole helmet to the back of my head (pushing the opening button of Z1 while wearing heavy gloves might be tricky). If you open the visor, make sure it stays fixed in opened position. A frosted visor which flips down when you’re in the corner might be fatal. Respect your gear.

Obviously. But what can be done with the difference between individual exit/deployment altitude? Also keep in mind possible difference in aircraft speed at exit.

Like one to one tracking, or something more sophisticated (based on GPS data)?

What would it be? Distance? Speed? Flocking points ? Let's brainstorm a little...

Stupino under Moscow, home DZ of the IPC Malevsky Cup

Sep. 18 2003 Russian national G2C record 5 An28 tailgates, altitude 5200 meters, no oxygen (except for an emergency tank on each craft), 8th attempt

and you won't believe what 'flamingo' means... Flamingo - ZP (there was a variant of ZP-top/f111 bottom skin), slightly eliptical trailing edge, comes in two sizes (130 and 160) Container - see pix attach. I've never jumped neither of them. Won't be my gear of choice anyway . Why do you ask?

Picture from the WFFC site. Did any of you guys down there saw one in flesh?

Ain't it PD150?

there seemed to be an issue with off-heading openings on few of first-production Sabre2. Otherwise it's body position or a packing issue - don't push in the nose.

There is certainly a mistake on the Cup www site - Sinapsi IS 2nd indeed. Great meet.

thanks!

Hi all there is piece in Sikorsky's 'Advanced Canopy Control' which I, being a complete CReW wuffo, fail to understand. When he talks about the risks of landing a canopy with two people suspended under it after a wrap (and recommends the lower person to cut away), he remarks that I don't quite get how a wrap can result in a Bi-Plane. Sorry, stupid me... . Thanks!

now it's clear, thanks a bunch

that's funny when I asked PD if the early Stilettos were trimmed differently than modern ones, the answer was "no"

desperately need to get in touch with 4Pleasure, TNT, French National Women 4way. thanks in advance

any way to get it online? tnx

What about spots on the lines?

Bill Cole try this there should be a thread on him somewhere down this forum blue ones

45 degrees would be tricky from An28 - tailgate is much more narrow

won't d-box do the trick?

just don't ask HOW best way to clean without damaging ZP/microline?
