Has anyone got any new piece of information - apart from the add on Skydiving #271 - about this new gadget called Cybernetic Radio Emergency Ejection & Piloting System, from SCARE-TEC?

So here you have a HD figure from www.freefly.de and other sport icons. Please share any other good ones you might find, as well.

Has anyone ever read any article, post or comment on the pulling strength (in kg./lb.) required by a jumper during an emergency procedure (release main/pull silver)? Is guess it might depend on the Gs involved.

Thanks for the data, guys!
Fly safely, keep on riding mains

I´ve just read in PD´s web page a question related to F111 vs ZP fabrics on Reserve canopies.
I would like to know if anyone can tell whether Parachute de France Techno Reserves are made up of F111 material or not.
In their owners´ manual I could only find a reference to it´s permeability; quote "... canopies have both upper and lower skins made with fabric of which permeability does not exceed 5 cfm (cubic feet of air through one square foot per minute at 1/2" of water pressure)".

I like the Teardrop SF, mainly because that's what I've ordered. If I could afford any rig though, I'd have to say Voodoo or G3.

I must agree. My TSE Superfly TearDrop is still a very reliable and comfortable container after seven years. I like the fact that the reserve flap is not exposed. The main pin flap and riser covers are pretty secure as well. I would say it´s "a classic for freeflying". I am really fond of it, after all, it´s my first rig and it´s totally customized !
In Argentina you can find a lot of Atoms (Parachute de France) as well.
If I am ever lucky to afford another one, I would probably try a Mirage G4 or a Javelin Odyssey.

Thanks Dave for those tips. I guess I am in the right path then. Just one comment - I was expecting to have a "Safety-no jump-Day" rather than hold the seminars till the end of the day. Do you think people will appreciate it better if they are free to jump? because I´ve scheduled seminars and suspended harness activities throughout the day.

Hi, I am trying to organize Safety Day activities in my home country for the first time ever! I will follow USPA guidelines and my idea is to have our parachute association endorse it and schedule it annually. I would love to know about your DZ experiences throughout these years, and any tips which, from your point of view, are a "must" in order to make it an interesting, productive and fun experience as well. Thank you all for your kind contributions !!!

that´ll do indeed !

Thank you all for your kind replies. Great forum, see ya around,

I´d love to see green hamsters in freefall, or at least that saber-toothed funny squirrel named Scrat.
At an argentine DZ, last week´s punishment for farting in the plane was an intentional miss spotting -10 miles off - nice pilot revenge, don´t you think ?

Here is the model I am inquiring about. My concern is for the mentioned strakes just behind the door. They seem to be pretty hazardous for big ways or even a solo diver.
There´s a Boogie coming up in September in CHILE and the organisers have four of these 1900 (2 passengers and 2 cargo) which could be used instead of a military CASA 235.
What about forward speed on exit ? How much can this plane decrease?

Does anyone know if a Beech 1900 would make a suitable jump plane ? I am trying to find a DZ which might have test one, but is pretty hard up to now.
I would be most grateful for any comment or piece of advice.
