  1. Its a Verso with integrated rig Old images here : http://fr-fr.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=419592477726&set=a.153262887726.126578.45152232726&type=3&theater http://fr-fr.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=419166672726&set=a.153262887726.126578.45152232726&type=3&theater -- Sylvain
  2. Just my 2 cents : I'm french, teach FFC at my home DZ, but request students to have 200 jumps before they start WS. I always teach them to wave-off , but instead of collapsing the leg wing several times, I (and I think many other french instructors) teach them to wave their hands several times. It gives really good results in term of stability before opening -- Sylvain
  3. Steve, as explained, you need to put tension on the fabric. So its very important that the suit fits you well. If the suit is a bit too long for you, do not hesitate to shorten the booties, as I explained in this thread : http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4114365;page=unread#unread -- Sylvain
  4. Another kind of acrobatics to be done when you share a plane with freeflyers : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAySr5W96Fk lot of fun :-) -- Sylvain
  5. Hi there, I'm planning a trip to Florida in November, is there any Wingsuit event planned during Zhills Annual Thanksgiving Boogie and Turkey Meet - 50TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION, Nov 19-27 ? -- Sylvain
  6. Ronaldo, the best way to shorten the booties on your Sfly Expert is to make an S-fold and stitch it (see attached picture). It also makes it easy to get the suit back to its original length if you need to sell it -- Sylvain
  7. Hi all, just wanted to share with you a very simple and efficient Viso mount, using just 2 hair elastics (or elastic bands) and 4 mini zip ties (see pictures) Hope this helps, -- Sylvain
  8. Airgun has a top mount platform that might fit : www.airgun.cz www.globaeroshop.com/support-video-parachutisme_56_1438.html -- Sylvain
  9. It also happened to me. I fixed it by replacing the damaged cx105 screw mount with a screw mount from an older Sony HC-22, which is much more robust (see attached pictures). Seems to work fine :-)
  10. Back to topic ... a nice spin (spitfire vs V1 remake ) at 3:43 here : http://vimeo.com/12730241 -- Sylvain
  11. I had crashes when rendering in Sony Vegas Studio Platinum 9 (Windows 7). Found this trick : http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=650217 Hope this helps -- Sylvain
