    You mean an Accordian right? Hey, it's his suit, let him fold it how he wants! Ok, but I'm still looking at one of my harmonicas and how to fold it.... Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    Congrats Bro.

    Is that even possible? We've got some pretty nice 182s with wing extentions and dive brakes and all that, but there's no way we could do that many. 14 of them took me the whole day. Get out lower..... Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    It could also be the auto pilot I installed on it just before I sold him my old suit. Be safe! Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    Andre Every canopy opens slightly different, with different body positions during opening. Someone that has the same canopy, wingloaded the same as you, may have great openings and on heading without line twist, and then again someone will have shitty openings with mega line twists, with the same canopy and wingloading as you are going to jump. Elliptical canopies, highly wingloaded, are eventually going to be chopped sometime during one of your openings. Rather then asking "is it safe for jumping in a wingsuit", I suggest you get comfortable with the canopy, before jumping it in your wingsuit, and then make the decision yourself. Be safe.

    I'll be setting up a couple of flocks at different skill levels, so yes, bring your wingsuit!. Bring some wine too then..... Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    If the aircraft your in is large enough such as a Skyvan, taking off with your legs and arms unzipped is just fine, "if" you are comfortable doing an emergency exit with your leg wing contained enough as to not let it inflate upon your emergency exit. And if your not going to zip up your arms, I'd suggest exiting with a hand on the deployment handle of the parachute you are intending to use after you have a clean exit. This will avoid any searching for a handle with all the material you'll have flapping around. Getting out fast is good I agree, but it doesnt take many long strides to exit a plane, and a cutaway LQRS on the leg wing will probably trip you up more then having the booties remain on. And most likely if the plane is diving, your not going to get out anyway, wingsuit or not.... Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    And why wouldn't you be? Have your legs zipped. If you choose not to zip your arms, I suggest going out the door with your leg wing collapsed and your hand already on the hackey. Nothing pisses me off more then people that are not ready or prepaired to exit when the plane is heading down the runway for takeoff. HAVE A PLAN. KNOW your minimum exit altitude and have in your head the way you'd exit should something like this happen! AND DO THIS BEFORE YOU GET ON A PLANE AGAIN! NEVER exit with the LQRS pulled. The leg will still inflate and cause an unstable exit and spin. Try not to give advise unless you have experienced such a situation, or have tried experimenting in such procudures. Be safe.

    Why delete your original post then? Nevermind, I found your other cross post. If you felt strongly enough that it was dangerous and unprofessional you should have spoke up while you were at the DZ your claiming it happened at..... Be safe.

    If thats the case, like Indyz said, it may cost you a repack to get it installed. Not many riggers will reseal another riggers pack job after installing an AAD, withour repacking the reserve. Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    If thats the case, it will probably be winter when you get your AAD. I'd have to say just wait until the reserve is due for a repack and then have the AAD installed. Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    IMHO, If you want the best deal, with a ready to jump sweet ass rig when it arrives on your door step, send your main, reserve and AAD to VSE and have them do the assembly at their loft. Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    It isn't the youngest, but I can tell you I took my oldest passenger today, and he did great! He ventured out to the DZ today with the rest of his roomies from the retirement home. I hope I'm as fit as this guy is at 90 years old. Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    Sounds like you did ok.... Years ago when I went through AFF, we had to do our hop n pop from 3000ft, and it was required on the 8th jump! We didn't get to do ANY solo's to practice for it.... Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com

    Mike Feel free sometime to sit in on a reserve repack, maybe your own rig when it's do, and it will give you probably ALOT more knowledge then MOST skydivers these days. And BTW, 2 weeks for Morgan to be tied up is abit long, now go untied her... Be safe. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
