Hi! This tutorial from gopro website might help. http://www.goprocamera.com/tips/fcp.php //JF

Hi! I made a angular bracket of aluminium that fits below the shoe laces and using velcro to secure it, the i attached one of the adhesive Gopro mounts. This give me a good angle. I have just used it for stills so i really don't know if it's secure enough for video (vibrations). It gives you pictures like this. //JF

I meen something like this. //Jonas

Do any of you fellow skydivers have any pictures or drawings that show how a door step (the kind that covers the whole lenght of the door) on a cessna 206 are constructed and attached to the plane? They are planing to build one for the cessna we have on the dropzone, and what better place to ask then here

Thanks. Anybody know if the fuselage differ from different year, our rented cessna is old 1969, and it looks likes the body taper more then the one in your picture. //JF

The interior is newly renovated (white), then they go and rent it to us to use as a jump ship. What were they thinking

Got this picture from one of our pilots, unless you are a really small person its nearly impossible to fit under with camera gear on your head. //JF

Hi! Do anybody have some pictures of a sliding door installed in a cessna 206?. The one that was installed in the cessna our DZ has rented was not usable, it was mounted 5 to 10 inches below the ceiling. They had to install a fabric door instead. //JF

They where testjumping them when i was at Deland about a month ago, they said something about having to redo some tests that FAA where not satiesfied with.

Hi! Borrowing the tread a little. Anyone having trouble with the GoPro HD mounts, the ones that came with mine has noticeable play in it, it don't secure the camera completely. I'm not talking about the screw but the play between the clip and baseplate. It, might not be a problem but i can imagine it will cause vibrations in the picture. I haven't jumped with it yet. //JF

What kind of turn do you do? Thats a big difference in altitude loss. //JF

Canon EOS 350, Kit lens, widest setting, TV mode ISO 100 and shutter 1/600 to 1/1000 depending on how much cloudes (freefall only) on ground shooting landing i use sports mode and in plane fully automatic the green beginner setting :-) //JF

Maybe i refrase short to "short compared to a Velo", I used to jump a Velo 103 and uppsized to a Sensei 111, so i did not expect it to have the same recovery arc. I only do 270 to, but i don't feel like it has much longer recovery arc then my other canopy a Samurai 136, I started doing the turns on the same altitude as the velo and worked my way down, and im almost down to the same initiation altitude as i have on my samurai. Granted i have only 30 jumps on the canopy and have a lot to learn about getting the most out of it. //JF

Hi! Picked up my Sensei 111 a couple of weeks ago WL=2 , have made 30 jumps on it so far. The openings are really good. rears are strong but the recovery arc is like most say short. A question to those who have bought one, mine has a Big sensei logo across the entire center cell. I thought it would have the little sensei patch close to the nose on the center cell. What did you get? //JF

According to Chinese media we have a town populated by 25000 woman only :-) http://www.thelocal.se/22476/20091005/#

How steeply trimmed is the canopy in full flight, like a velo or less? //JF

I have one, would not use it for jumping, The numbers on the display are small and are hard to see without backlight on but that might be different depending on what model it is, i have an core orange and it has orange numbers, Buy a Neputune, N3 or a visio instead. I actually never used for skydiving and never will, the mentioned altimeiters are a much better options. //JF

I know it's a competition canopy. But if someone is willing to pay the extra$, and get one with 500HMA and regular slider and use it as a everyday canopy. What are the drawbacks? The way i se it you get better openings than a regular Velo and more performance out of it. I jump a standard Velo and really don't care for the openings. //JF

Anyone using it with a standard slider, it's an option according to the trimchart but in a different size. One might buy a competition velo instead of the regular velo based on the fact that it's supposed to open better, and don't want the hassle of an removable slider during everyday jumping. //JF

Quote> All functioning canopies produce exactly the same lift, and is exactly equal to the magnitude of the vector sum of your weight and drag. If it wasn't you'd accelerate upwards or downwards.

Well if you look at PD website they also state min weight(Velocity) X- braced are usually designed to be flown at a higher WL above 2.0. And yes the sensei i Xbraced so it would produce more lift then a standard canopy. So if you plan on jumping a sensei at lower WL save your money and buy something else. And like some else stated it might not perform well if you go under min weight.

Does anyone else have some input on the canopy since it's been awhile since the last post regarding how the canopy perform and hopefully more jumpers had the chance to put some jumps on it and share there experience with it.. //JF

Why don't you ask "uffe" if he can get you a demo. and make it a 101 so i can demo it after you //JF

"One of my customers will also be getting a Samurai delivered in a few days. I also imagine this will be amongst the first out there." Are aerodyne manufacturing the Samurai now or is Brian using this material too? //JF
