baronn 111 #2 December 27, 2012 Yer in a tuff situation Mate. We can rig an SOS (single operating system) for the cutaway and reserve. However, how can you fly the main or reserve canopy? It is possible to do this 1 handed but, not easy. I don't have any experience here. I do know of 1 guy that base jumps with a hook. Seems to get by just fine. If you were closer to me, I'd be willing to work with ya. My method is 2 tandems then we start solo stuff. I'd probably toss ya in the tunnel and get the freefall handled so we can concentrate on the other stuff. I see this being very doable. Realize it is up to your abilities and no guarantees here. But, if you were willing to get this done, it is possible. Good Luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
computerdoc 0 #3 December 28, 2012 I am the 1armskydiver and I know I could teach you the canopy skills you would need. It will take some extensive training though. You need to learn how to PLF though, just in case. Just get in touch with me sometime. Blue Skies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
