  1. Im sure it wont be hard for someone to find a complete rigger to take with them to europe the question will be will they want to travel economy or business ?
  2. I have a couple of Pilot ZPX 170s and a Pulse 190 and the Pulse 190 definately is a tad smaller than ZPX 170
  3. I thought the stickers formed a structural part of the air frame.
  4. let her buy you some gear, you know helmets, alti etc, mums love looking after saftey. Failing that I will tell her in the morning.
  5. I agree to me the carrot is jumping and the stick is grounding. A structured consistant educate warning then grounding program should be enough to correct the behaviour instead of a complex demerit system fine system.
  6. I was able to buy mine via UPT they have been awesome.
  7. thanks I will buzz them a un email
  8. Thanks, I think this was similar to what Velocity used to use but might be prone to surface rust one of the reasons I think they moved to the black stainless.
  9. Has Velocity sewn up the black stainless hardware or is it possible to by some a few friction adapters and a couple of type 8 style d rings, anyone have a source or contact Ive tried my google fu to no avail. I will give Velocity a shout after Memorial Day any tips appreciated. thanks in advance

  12. Hi Chaps, you can buy shares now you just got to pay for them there IPO has gone very well from there initial offer of .20c to now .37c. they are listed as IDZ. http://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/companyInfo.do?by=asxCode&asxCode=IDZ gone to be great having one reasonably local and another way to keep us broke.

  14. Thanks, aliencico I have sent an email, thought there might be a URL that I couldnt see. thanks for the tip on the differences between euro and kiwi.
  15. Can anyone point me to a link withe dimensions of some Icarus canopies. I blowed if I can find them on the site. Basically looking for span and chord, I see PD has them on there site. Thanks in advance
  16. sweet rig, write down all your serials, check your insurance, read your manuals :) Looks awesome.
  17. Fairly similar to me, except for I was the original owner Viso2 but given I stuffed it I brought a new. I read reports here that more than likely that they would replace, but I just took some personal responsibility. Not sure how you write of L&B products because its to old to repair. I think the lesson about second hand electronics though may be a good one.
  18. if this is a trolling thread thanks erdnarob for that post, im keeping that one.
  19. Its kind of like Washington DC, they built Canberra, the capital of Australia because they couldnt agree if Sydney or Melbourne should be the capital.

  21. I have a similar DOM 96 Jav and its in unreal shape, have just sold it but have asked to give me first option to buy it back. I understand you can get some replacement leg pads as well
  22. send a note to admin and ask for a copy of it may still exist on the forum.
  23. doesnt feel that way here in oz, in my case it was well covered off in ground school, we where also given a conversion sheet and the wingload \ downsize guide. Also well covered in canopy courses etc. I think we are generally ok with the metic \ imperial conversions being taught at school, I assume the teach the reverse in the US ?
  24. separate from OP. One of the chaps at the DZ had his gear ripped off from his car in his , he thought he wasnt initially covered by his home insurance but turns out his policy covered it as his car was in the drive way. Bonus turns out it was also new for old policy. So worked out ok in the end.
