    I started at about 200 jumps under a saber 2 170 wingload at 1.2. I started by creating a consistent diving time under double front. After 30-50 jumps I start doing 90. Before this while doing double front I start building up my set up by doing drills up high and building an average on altitude lost, also doing carvings up high, simulate for when I would need to bail (this have saved my ass a few time and will keep on doing so). I did about 250 jumps in a period of 2 months and at least 200 jumps were high hop and pops. Before I even though on doing any of this I was able to land my canopy where I wanted, I could land on cross wind, downwind, do clean flat turns at any altitude. After many hop and pops and a developing my skill in a progressive way I got clearance from my canopy coach and almost 400 jumps later I am on a crossfire2 139 WL 1.6 -------------------- I apologized in advance for my bad English

    Set the dive type on slow, and then it will record your h&p

    We kind of did the same at our DZ. The only difference was that if we were out by a lot we didn't keep trying to make the gates. Normally making the gates for us was related more to be in the right spot at the right altitude with the right winds at the start of the turn. We modify our turn ( making slower or faster depending on how far or close we were to the gates) but, if we were off by a lot we kept our dive timing and didn't tried to still make the gates since we were not at the right spot at the beginning of the turn and still trying to make the gate would be really dangerous. At the beginning our rate was 10% on making the gates, and after doing 150-200 jumps we were making the gates at 50% to 60% and kept getting better. It is a slow progression but once you know your set up at different winds, it gets a lot safer and easier.

    Thank you guys, we are going to be discussing what is going to work better for us. Once we are done, I will post what we did and how is working.

    At my DZ we just create a swooping course. W were trying to brain storm on how to set up a kind of device that would let us know if we made the entry gate or not. We came up with many ideas, but not all of them are as practical as we want them to be. We are trying to come up with an idea were we don't need a person standing there and judging if we made the entry gate or not. So, I would like to know what kind of system other DZ use for this kind of set up. Thanks
