    Has anybody psycho packed an mPod? My normal bag has a slightly different packed shape now compared to when I used to pro pack it. Would this make a difference in using the mPod? Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    Thanks for the offer but I found one today. Rigged it up, took the obligatory photo, now it's packed up for another 70 odd jumps until I can do a course. cheers Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    Buggered if I know, that's why I want the manual. Website mentions the zippers and wing cut-away plus several others, that's why I'd like to read about the Phantom 1 I'm looking to buy, rather than the P2 manual I've already got.

    Yep aware of the restrictions and not planning to wingsuit any time soon. I have the opportunity to buy a Phantom 1 from a friend that I know will fit me. I can download the Phantom 2 manual from Phoenix-Fly. I'd also like the Phantom 1 manual as there are a number of differences between the two suits. Thanks for your concern, I simply like to study as much as I can about my equipment. Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    3 or 4 different licencing organisations in NZ, can't remember/keep up with them all. Each dropzone jumps under a particular organisation, so you have to have their particular licence. If you jumped at all the places you listed you'd probably need at least 3 NZ licences. It's a friggin' joke! Christchurch and Motueka are very sport friendly, both have great vibe. Haven't jumped any others. Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    I wonder how the APF will spin this one into their bullshit ban on Argus Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    As of today they've directed that nobody, at any licence level is to use an Argus. Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    why flip back ? Once he will be "fluent" in psychopack he will not want to go back

    Funny that. Facebook message today saying closed for a week for maintenance. Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    They sure are. I had goods delivered to New Zealand within 5 days of ordering Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    I got the GoPro one sent to New Zealand. Love this helmet. Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    Had one in student helmet for AFF 1 and had one ever since. Had my own as soon as I bought a helmet. After 102 jumps I've never had it go off without a canopy overhead. I don't rely on it, but I'll take every level of safety I can get. Maybe starting to jump at 46 gives you a different perspective though.

    I don't think that's what Koppel wants at all. Aussies (me included) are just a little frustrated that the APF made such a knee jerk reaction. Especially when rumours circulate that the person responsible for the decision has direct links to Airtec. Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    So could anyone share them or at least PM me please? All the politics and bullshit aside, as a newbie sport jumper, I can't imagine being made more welcome. I've jumped with the students from around 5 course intakes over the last 15 months and they've all had a great commitment and attitude to everything they do. The instructors have been awesome and fallen over themselves to help an old fat guy discover a new passion. Thanks to them all. We had to look for an alternate runway/landing area yesterday though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB7lv6ZJCDw Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    Yep I agree. I think the APF jumped the gun on this one Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    https://www.apf.asn.au/ArticleDocuments/142/APF_TD_03-2010_Issued_July_12th_2010_Argus_AAD.pdf.aspx I hope they hurry up and get this resolved. Argus has been banned from use in Australia unless B licenced or above. Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com

    WARNING - NEWBIE COMMENTS 65 jumps now on Sabre2 210, WL 1.15 Have had no line twists, hard openings, or dives. Have had maybe 3 45deg off heading openings. End cells are almost always closed until a pull on rear risers. ymmv Ian Purvis http://www.loadupsoftware.com LoadUp DZ Management App admin@loadupsoftware.com
