37, not really thought much about it. on holiday in florida, grandad not long passed, thought hey wtf not?! found someone, booked it. post jump i thought, yeh, ill do this... came back, 2 years later, still not started. nan passed in the nov, started AFF in feb.

just stuck on with the standard 3m sticky back, no additional support/screws? ta

hello, asking for a friend, who has a g3 with a fusion, what mount do you use? bonus for pictures, thank you :)

i dont think so. its usually pretty straight forward to swap out a canopy. walk away, nice that you've got 4k to spend tho plus wait until you're ready for the 170 as you'll get way more choice around that mark and can buy something that'll last you longer. (unless youre 100kg in ur undies ) /2c

i can tell you what it's like today. first day of jumping... it's been raining i've heard it's usually pretty good though, so fingers crossed for tomorrow :)

or facebook, pretty responsive

sounds fine, although algarve is closer. but why the rush? y u no pick local dz?

ah, my samsung s8 reports 10Hz. i'll try it anyway :) edit: why does it appear to only operate when the phone is at certain angles? is that going to affect it in the pocket? thanks

keep at it, conquering that fear will be an amazing boost for you, when you look back knowing how terrified you were and where you are now, you won't believe you could of made it through, but you did, and now each plane ride is almost boring. it sounds like you can get licenced no bother, then you can just do hop and pops. but i suspect the free fall fear will very slowly start to subside, and when you are able to jump with your wife, it will all be worth it. go to the tunnel, and teach yourself that moving a finger doesnt result in a 500mph tumble and keep lying to yourself that "I'm done" everytime the fear is taking over.

is it possible to use this with just the phone in the suit pocket? edit: for the audible feedback

last night i 3d printed a mudflap to stick an old alti on. if im honest i dont really check it as i use the audible, i need to get a second one. i'm thinking of modifying the mount to take my viso 2 wrist mount. edit: AON2 do a really fancy looking alti if you've got 300GBP just laying about https://www.aon2.co.uk/products/x2/

what's the 11% reduction about? it looks like some sort of canopy qualification gets you more lee-way. thanks

@CrashProne - head down ws? cheers for the replies, i thought that if i were flying it efficiently i'd get the longest freefall time, and that's not necessarily flying it slow, but rather as fast as i can at the right pitch. the faster it goes the more lift it will generate right?

it was a total surprise, i wasn't even trying for it, just practicing when the guy reviewed my video and said yep no probs, i also nailed the landing deadcenter which was buzzing. stoked? yep! so question - i see my free fall delays climbing... what sort of delay should i be seeing if i'm flying the thing decent? would 120 seconds over say 10kft be reasonable? 80kilos in a phantom 3. thank you!

no issues with mine whatsoever

motorcycles are dangerous! ;) here's my 2 satoshis - treat every opportunity to have you off the bike as if it's going to happen expect a fallen tree or overturned tractor around every bend if it's all gone to shit, get off the bike, i've cleared the bonnet of a car like that without a scratch. then of course, loud pipes save lives, the speed limits are just advisories, and wheelies are cool ... brap on sister!

a problem shared.... i did - aff level 4 twice aff level 5 thrice aff level 6 twice all the same, all unintended turns. first console jump - couldnt stop turning second console jump - span so fast i dumped at 7k (if in doubt - whip it out). fifth console jump - still turning, balled up, reset, just held it.... and that was it... my fifth console was the first jump where i actually relaxed, felt it, and was stable for the rest of the ride down... i'm on 253 now. :) the tunnel is great, maybe try a session where the instructor doesnt get you to do anything, you just spend a minute or two flying yourself, your own thoughts, doing whatever you want, that really helped me. hang in there kitty!

nice bike

#1 - my hands get really cold when it's freezing on the ground, i've found a thinsulate glove under the regular glove works well, but what really helps is to get ready sooner so you warm up nicely in your gear, and to make sure i keep the hands warm on the ride up, tucked in any available body crevice.

half a second inflation... brisk..

ftfy, i wouldn't be surprised if someone also managed to shoot themselves. perhaps you could have a role play session with nerf guns and let me know the outcome?

jump whenever the weather allows it, you'll have plenty of cloudy, windy weekends which will force you to do "other" things (like housework :( )

where are you jumping? a mate of mine really struggled with RAPS and didnt progress pass the 3 dummy pulls even after 15 jumps, he eventually switched to AFF 2 months ago and is now qualified with FS1. if you find it's not for you then consider AFF good luck
