yes it is listed. i've read the stuff on the PDFs on the site and it says what you've said here. it's just that i was told that i'm not legal to jump if it's not listed in the manufactorer's list as well, and that's why i decided to ask here.
thank you very much for your answer!

hello,
i'm not a rigger. i'm just asking here because i can't get a complete answer in my home DZ. i'll appreciate your answer.

my RSL was removed, by a master rigger (not in my home DZ), after i've asked him to do that.
when we did the modification we didn't send the info to sunpath.

my main questions is:
DOES THE MASTER RIGGER HAVE TO submit the information about the removal from my rig - to sunpath (either by a regular email or by the website form) in order for it to be LEGAL to JUMP ON THIS RIG?

i know that every master/ rigger can decide if they repcak my reserve with or w/o the rsl - and i'll deal with that issue next time i'll give my rig for a repack. but for now - i'm kinda grounded because i didn't submit it... and i just wonder what's the deal with that.

thanx,
Ori Kuper.

Bill pls send me your cell number!
can't contact you with your current email address. it doesn't work...

or to my email [email protected]

Ori.

LOL
i'm not a wingsuit flyer yet, though willing to start (maybe even this weekend) but just wanted to say that your message here made me lol. so here i'm saying: VectorBoy, your message here made me lol. thanx for that man!

yeh he is qualified. that's ok... i'm the last skydiver in the world who'd give anyone a toy which i think he can't play with
it's his main inside by the way... it's just that he isn't allowed to jump on his old rig here (for some reason). he's going back to OZ in 2 month and he'll jump with his rig there...

but thanx!

ok,
after reading all your answers here, and consider again the situation, i told the guy i'm not gonna charge him for anything, and off course - you break it you pay it etc. he'll use it for 2 months...

and yeh... i hope that what goes around comes around. sometimes. and even if not - i'll take it as a 'helping a good guy' thing

hmmm... interesting answer. i'll think about that. thanx!

any other (though green) suggestions?

yeh he is good, i won't use it but i want to sell it, and that guy just want to use it till i'll sell...

hi,
someone wants to rent my old rig for a month (and wants to pay). includes everyting but a main.
i just don't know how much money to take?!
did anyone here was in that situation before? any suggestions?

thanx.

thanx.
you probabely know that but... you've got great shots too man! well done!

so for me it looks like no way to run from those fixed sizes lenses though... one day i'll get mine for sure!

thanx again for sharing!

Ori.

thanx for the answer Iwan.
from your avatar pic i see you don't shoot with the kit lens - so what lenses do you use?
now about the learning photography thing ( ) actually i think pretty much like you... and i do have some knowledge (from ground mostly) which i'm trying to use at the sky as well, but there are sometimes, when good results can be achieved with those Auto modes, which people (like me) barely believe in or just don't know about their efficiency(not a good thing, by the way), and i still consider myself as a 'newbie' sky photographer... so i just tried to ask here about those methods. that's all... so thanx again for sharing yours.

if you're interested, here is a link to some pics of mine from the sky (click on wanted set out of 3 on the right > click on a pic > use the All Size button) :

and if you'r into photography in general, you might find something in my (mostly ground) gallery here (again, need to get a pic in one of the 4 pages, and then to use the large size option) :

i'd love to hear what you think about those pics...

thanx, jump safe, and clear shots!
Ori.

hey,
i use the Canon digital RebelXT (350D), still with the kit lens. i used to use it on Tv Mode and 1/500-1/1000 depends on sun at atli, WITH MANUAL FOCUS. the problem is that sometime it gives (depends on precised distance of course) unfocused shots (dahh...).

a friend told me to put it on AutoFocus (I've tried it, was bad) but he just forgot to tell me he uses it with the Sport mode, with that AF... well, i'm going to try that one on weekend...

i wonder what modes do other users use in the sky.
let us know about your:
1. Shutter Mode
2. Auto or Manual focus
3. Focus mode (AI Servo etc.) if Auto
4. any other tips will be great.

thanx!
Ori.

find out all these "unknowns" before you get in the aeroplane, otherwise you have no business going up....

True... but unfortunately i learned it in the hard way (you'r never aware enough until something happens while you'r not aware)

thanx everybody for your answers!
after crashing into the ground 6 month ago because of bad and unknown air+wind+alti, it made me feel much more calm about that issue...
(and god knows why i couldn't think about it by myself). anyway thanx again and blues!

thanx!

thanx!

hi,
i'm going to jump in a place which is 114meter above sea level, and on some cold days(Kolomna, Russia).
now let's put the AMSL thing aside for a moment and just look about the cold weather fact; i thought that the colder the air is, the less dense it is, and therefore landing will take longer and with a higher velocity then in a summer day.
i've ask some people and got various answers

what do YOU know about that situation?
and if i was right - what would you suggest? start flaring earlier or just wait till the end and puuuuull all way down at once?

Thanks.

scary thing. glad you'r ok and cheers for handleing it. thanx for sharing it here and open the discussion! i want to try a suit on next weekend for doing camera for a 4W. now i have some more things to check and think about...

very good Brad! so i'll find you there...
tell me, how is the weather these days in Kolomna (on ground and in air), and how is it most of the time in the end of May? very cold? cold? freezing?

you mean 19 to 28 (not 18) right?

sorry for my delayed reply, for some reason i havn't got any email notifications.

that's ok Ori, i did ask them some of the Qs, but i know you weren't there or gonna be on May so i coudn't ask about May...

don't worry, i'll probably keep on asking...

thanx!
Ori.

sorry for my delayed reply. for some reason i havn't got any email notifications

thanks for the answers. i'll bring the mozzie spray.
12 a day and you packed? i think i shoudln't watch you as well

thanx!
Ori.

sorry for the delayed answer, for some reason i havn't got any email notifications

i'll try to send Kolomna an Email (i'll be there, probably won't be at the others). please keep me informed if you'r comeing to Koloman too.

thanx and anyway have a great trip and jumps!Ori.

1.i'm looking for people to jump with. me mostly upright. yet. is there anyone here who is going to be in Kolomna at the end of May 06 for FF?
(you can either answer here or privet msg me)

2. does anyone knows what opportunities of good FF coaching can one have in Kolomna, and aspecially on the end of May 2006 (hmmm... same dates as the RW80way camp there)?
