  1. Yea bought the RDS from scott back before PD started selling them. It has the swivel and I use a slink to attach the swivel to the cords. What did you mean by pilot chute collapsed? It is after deployment but cocked like normal for deployment. Exiting an Otter at 5k and only doing a 2 to max 5 second delay. Lines are not HMA but spectra or vectran.
  2. Thank you for the link. I did look at that when I was hooking up the full RDS. I packed it as neat as I always do (was a packer for six years and always pack my shit better than i did others cause I dont have time constraints on my stuff). Exiting an otter at 5k. Body position is good cause I do mostly hop and pops anyway. I love how the canopy flies without all the drag but the problems with opening suck. Wish someone would put out a video on how to pack them without all the snaps that the new comp velo has. Just looking for advice on how to pack it so that I don't spend 2500 feet clearing a mal. Thank you again for the help
  3. Was wondering if anyone had any advice on a good way to pack a Velo. with an RDS. Been jumping with the removable slider for a few years now but tried using the cords for having the d-bag come off this weekend and had one opening with line twists and one where the cord from slider and d-bag went through the lines. Both were from sub terminal, only two to four second delay.

    what is worse

    This was a question on the greatest podcast ever. tomanddan.com. Just wanted to see what my friends in the skydiving world had to say. If you love funny and stupid talk show humor than you will love this podcast. It brings up dumb shit like this all the time. So really what is worse an akward boner or shit pants. or well check them out

    what is worse for a guy. an akward boner or shit in your pants.
  6. Yeah that is why I went with the Tony Suit. If they don't ship it by Thursday that is what I will try next.
  7. No like ouragon says on their website. Layer of material then zp then material. Not zp material on the outside making it balloon up like the Michelin man
  8. I trust it is going to be a great suit. Its just that when you pay for rush and they make a mistake and then have to rebuild how come it takes longer to rebuild than it did to build it in the first place. I mean three months. You can get a custom rig in that amount of time.
  9. Ordered a tony suit in December and paid for the rush. Ordered a black suit with the tunnel option.Both me and the person who measured me, a respectable dealer, thought the zp would be meshed in the middle like ouragon and other companies do. Nope on the outside making it very hard to fly. Send it back and they have to rebuild. That was beginning of February. Was told last week it was scheduled to be out on the 5th on May. Find out today on the 10th that "it has been cut and should be ready any day now". Really.Really. I could understand a month maybe month and a half,but three months. Cannot understand how it could take this long. Customer service has been nice but taking this long is to much. And the fact that they say any day now. Would not recommend them. I paid 500 dollars for a suit and still am not able to use it. Anyone else having problems with them?
  10. So I ordered a Tony suit in December. Pay for the rush and only had one color, black. Ordered the tunnel option, both me and the company I ordered it through thinking the zp would be meshed between the fabric like all ouragon. Get the suit and zp is on the outside. Send it back in February for a rebuild. Here it is the 10th of April and it still is not done. Was told it was due out on the 5th and find out today that it has just been cut and should be ready "any day now". When paying the kind of money that this suit costs I would expect it to be done faster. would not recommend this company to anyone. Go with someone who can actually do what they say and get it done in a timely manner. I understand maybe a month, two at the most extreme but three months this is ridiculous.
