  3. Hevent been to the US in a long time but if you really want security at airports come to Israel. also our airline El Al has alot of security. so the way I see it every where else ther is a lack of security.

  12. what you are saying (also speedy) makes sense. I do trust my DZ instructor. The ppl that told me it's 2 big for me are friends and not instructors. thanks ...And once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return... blue sky Asaf
  13. I am about to buy a rig that has a PD 9 cell. my weight is 150 with gear and the size of the main is 190. The statistics on the PD web site say that I am in the correct range to fly this canopy. The main instructor on my DZ said that althow it is a big canopy it will fit me fine. I am asking ur opinion because a few ppl told me that the canopy is to big for me and I should look for something else. so what do you guys think? until now I jumped rented gear, the size range was 230-280 (navigator). I havent jumped it yet (the cypres was sent for inspection and in Israel it is mandatory on all rigs to be with AAD) ...And once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return... blue sky Asaf

  17. I have sended L&B an e-mail if they could send me some stikers for my helmet. The next they asked for my address and 3 days later it was in my mail box (I live in Israel) with spaer batteris. Thats great service. ...And once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return... blue sky Asaf
  18. I pulled my researve on my 25th jump, I jumped a rented gear. when I landed the regear and DZO asked what hapend and that it. I did not have to pay for the repack. All the parts where found (it toke a few hours to find the main). but any way my DZ does not charge the renter if something get lost or damaged dou to a mal. on a regular jump if you lose the rip cord you do have to pay. On the other DZ in Israel you sign that if you lose something or cypress fires you do have to pay. So it all depends on the DZ. ...And once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return... blue sky Asaf

The camera man was able to get it lose and under canopy the TM got aound the rest of the story I dont know. I saw it before I strated jumping so there are a few things that I might not noticed.
