  2. I have 150 CC for over 50 jumps now and I have never had any hard opening. I followed suggestion from Atair on using 24" zero-p kill line collapsible, open in a forward track, straight pro-packing, roll the tail tight, microline small rubber bands double stow lines, keep hands at your sides until the canopy is in full inflated flight. I have the opposite story, the openings are so soft that it takes few seconds to open. Great canopy.

  4. I thought I could attach holder for light video camera to a second holder for dytter so I can open and close visor or behind that on fix part of helmet so that visor can move.
    I have never jumped with camera.
    As I don't have enough money to buy myself special gear for all activities I thought I could use existing but as you said attachment to Havok will not be strong enough to hold a camera and that answeres my question.

  5. Hi,

    As I don't have any experience with having any camera on my head while skydiving, recently I had a need to use video camera and there was a question.
    I have RW full face HAVOK from Bonehead composites and I would like to use it for mounting video camera because camera helmets are expensive and I really don't want to get into camera work.
    You understand my problem, should I use existing helmet for occassionaly filming or should I save money and buy a camera helmet even for light camera work?
    What are the risks with Havok?

    Thks

  6. I mailed to Performance Variable and they answered to me "Sorry ,but there is no possibility for installing them on a Quick".
    But when I looked at Quick's manual, under "suspension line links" is stated "Stainless-steel Mini Link or Soft Links".
    After all I read here, I think it is legal to install PD SR-1 to Quick.

  11. Hi,

    I would like to start with camera work and now I'm considering a camera suite and camera helmet.
    As for helmet, please advice is the Bonehead composites Flat-top pro worth the money or is there a helmet similar to this one but cost less.
    For camera suite, please help me with wings, should I take smaller or bigger? If bigger, should attachment be front of thigh or side seam?

  12. When packing main (I'm using PRO pack), I don't know at what should I pay the most attention?
    I know that all pack jobs should be perfect but when there is no time and I have to pack quickly what are the steps that should never be packed quickly?

    Does anybody know, is there some webpage with reserve packing method step by step?

    I'm also interested if some of you have any DVD or VHS with reserve packing that really helped you so I can buy one?

  13. Hi,

    Does anybody know for what canopie sizes is Wings W12-1 for?

    Where on the body should hackey sack be when the rig is fit for you, on the level with hips or some higher?

    Does wider part of leg straps should overlap when it is fitted for you or it doesn't metter?

    Thks

  14. That was my question, yes, should I keep existing line covers together with SRC's or should I install only SRC's.

    Finally, yesterday I took Slinks and install them without line covers, with only SRC's because there is simply no room for both.

  15. I have Cobalt competition 150 and if you take a look at Atair website, you can see that for my size of canopie recommended P/C is 24".

    I believe every manufacturer should have tested their canopies and recommend P/C size for them.

  16. Hi,

    I'm getting ready to install PD Slinks but I'm not sure should I remove link covers together with connector links and install Slinks with SRC's or should I remove only connector links and have Slinks, link covers and SRC's installed?

    I have new Wings container/harness with I think cordura link covers.

    Thks

  20. I would buy Cypress2 because I don't think they would compromize their product and release new instrument with any major problem.

    As far as I'm concirned, I will not buy AAD because I think I'm safer without it. It is one more thing to care about and up there I want things as simple as possible but who knows one day ...

  22. I was told that it is ok to pack 150 main zp to Wings 190 container. Now when I put it in, the container looks a little too soft. Can somebody tell me what can go wrong with this configuration?
    Should I buy new container because of this?

  24. Hi,

    I'm few days before ordering harness and still have questions about options.
    I plan to buy Wings but can anyone please help me with options like articulated (standard or deluxe),cut in laterals,quilted backpad,all that colour and other options, what of all that is worth the money?
    I'm not looking for fashion harness, I will pay for anything what is usefull in jumping.
    I don't have any experience in jumping with all that options so if somebody have please help.

    Thanks in advance
