  1. The price is correct, there are fix tariff from airport or train station to location close to city centre, this is because the taxi after that short ride will have to go back to a long waiting queue .... For example form apt to Airbus facility (just 3miles ride on the other side of the apt) is 20€ .....
  2. I'll be in NY city for a week for holidays..... anybody knows a shop close to NY?
  3. here in spain where I am jumping the pulse is not used... at least never heard anybody using it... I'll keep on searching ... thanks for all your suggestions....
  4. nobody in my DZ have a pulse but reading the comments seams very nice canopy smooth and fun... So far I think I will buy a new rig made for me and search for canopies maybe second hand ...
  5. thanks for the answer ... I was not aware about the resize... what I would like to do is try different canopies, since now just tried 2, spectre and the navigator at the dropzone ... problem is difficult to find others borrowing you equipment that fit both container and canopies...
  6. I have a big question always in my mind: which canopy to choose..... I have 100 jumps did in the last 2 years and most of them (70) with a Spectre 190 ... but now I am in the process to buy my first equipment... what I don't know is which canopy. I am quite convinced the 190 is the correct size for me (my weight is 83 kg), after the AFF I did test some 240, 220 and 200 ... to come up with a 190 and I would say I am pretty comfortable with that size ... I don't want to have a higher WL as 100 jumps are, in my opinion, not enough to use an aggressive WL, am I wrong? 190 is the correct size? Saying I will use a 190 which canopy would you suggest? there are a lot of different manufacturer with a lot of different canopy, each of them with different characteristics, but with my limited experience I don't know which one I should get .... Sabre2 ? Spectre? Safire2? Crossfire2? Same problem for the reserve canopy ... size? type? .... The harness, mirage? vector? spirit vario? spirit? You would say, why not buying a used gear? why not, but not so easy to find something that fit to me (83kg-183lb and 193cm-6ft 4in tall) .... Basically I am lost ....
