I dont know on that one Josh. This is the loudest sounding engine I've ever heard. Puts our 550 to shame. Times are about the same. Our Prop is 86" though. Normal is 82 or 84". I was fishing the other day and the plane came over top about 5000' and DAMN..... it was loud. Same fuel consumption I think or close enough. 8 per load.

any new HD cameras good for hand cam yet? I want to go all HD next year but so far, from what I've heard, no good cameras for handcam? Clint

Great info from everyone. It sounds like most of the jumps are done on the other side of the world. I asked the manufacturer about the turbulent questions and he sent me this attachment. I also asked about high altitude dz's. Never got an answer yet on that but he did answer the turbulent question below: "How is the canopy at high altitude? High Density Alititude? I'm at 4550' MSL and the DA on average is 7000'. Plus, when we open it's 9500' MSL. Do you have any experience with this type of conditions? And the turbulence, it's hot, about 85-100F every jump. BUMPY, winds are squirly, dust devils sometimes in landing area. So this is really why my main concern is, IS IT A GOOD CANOPY IN TURBULENCE. Please get back to me with any info on these types of conditions." His Answer: "I've talked to Tibor Glesk who developed the HOP330 in conjunction with JOJO WINGS - he's a CI and tandem instructor with 15,000 jumps and over 30 years experience and owns the Sunshine Coast Skydivers DZ in Australia. He says your DZ conditions are pretty harsh to say the least, and that the HOP330 is a high performance canopy and therefore can be susceptible to turbulence BUT as you will have read from the Performance Review from NZONE they think that it handles well in turbulence despite some end cell collapses "Canopy is sensitive but not vulnerable in turbulence. Even with our very turbulent conditions, we’ve had many end cell collapses but not a canopy collapse. However this canopy recovers faster than any other canopy - and without loosing altitude. If turbulent on landing conditions, it flares great even loaded to its limits." What Tibor has ended up asking me to tell you is that no one will know better than you ... he is happy for you to buy and try and if you don't like it we'll take the HOP330 back, no questions asked (although we would like your feedback, but it's not a condition of our refund policy). We have canopies jumping all over the world - Namibia in Africa, South America etc and don't really receive detailed feedback, due mainly to the language difficulties I think. However what I can say, is that over 95% of our customers order more canopies or give us referrals .... I completely understand your position, and hope this helps with your decision a little."

Anyone jumping one of them? I read the old posts about not being that good of a canopy, especially in turbulence. Any thoughts on this canopy nowadays?

What is the best camera for shooting tandem handcam videos? I'm still using my old PC 5,9 but they are about to die and it's harder and harder on ebay to find them. So what's new? - Clint MacBeth Skydive Moab 435 259 JUMP M.O.A.B. Mother Of All Boogies Sept 19 - 23, 2012

Does anyone want to move to Moab for the summer to BASE jump and skydive? Skydive during the mornings and BASE jump in the afternoon. Looking for a BASE jumper/tandem instructor for the season. Anyone want to come to Moab for the summer? - Clint MacBeth

I did buy the Epson R220. I figure that the ink will be expensive. I also got it for printing out 8x10 photo of the student landing. What company can I contact to get the DVD's and the label on them already? I plan on doing about 700 videos this year and so the ink will be expensive. It's a start until my season starts. - Clint MacBeth Skydive Moab 435 259 JUMP M.O.A.B. Mother Of All Boogies Sept 19 - 23, 2012

Tony, sorry for making you work. More Tdm inst. this year. more everything. PD is coming out the event. I spoke to Jari, and he is sending Scott our for the MOAB. I will try to have a 'Wing Suit Organizer' this year and Jay Epstein can go do some fun jumps NOT just teaching youngins. Thanks for the input, sounds like there was about 20 WS fliers. Maybe we can get 40+ this year!! Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. THis is just one aspect of the boogie. It's hard to do every aspect but that is why I'm starting early and would like any suggestions!! Thanks! - Clint MacBeth Skydive Moab 435 259 JUMP M.O.A.B. Mother Of All Boogies Sept 19 - 23, 2012

I'm trying to get a few Wing Suit manufactures to come out this year. We are going to do a wingsuit jump into the Needles out post next year. 20way?? Can this be done? I want this year to be the best. I'm starting to organize everything right now, early!!! We are also planning on jumping into Mineral Bottom canyon, we just need to buy the insurance in a few months when we have the cash. This is NOT A FORSURE thing yet but we are working on it. I really dont know that many wingsuit fliers so Im trying to get it out there this way. I would like to have the cover shot, or centerfold shot during these to landing areas. So whatever help you fliers can do to spread the word. Make it a group thing since you guys seem to know one another. Thanks! - Clint MacBeth Skydive Moab 435 259 JUMP M.O.A.B.
