This is a sleeve which was designed I believe to prevent damage on rigs like the Mirage. And it is several years old already. But I could be wrong edited to add : page 24 of this link https://www.cypres.aero/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/991205_CYPRES_Rigging_Tips.pdf

The French were the only ones I knew of needing a medical for sports jumpers.

Pretty sure Deyan can do that. All my risers were modified like that by Colin in Empuria.

Parachutes de France toggles. Best, bar none. 1 pin up, 2 tabs down.

It seems that they have disappeared. Even if they were rarely used, there were valuable threads in there. Is it possible to reactivate them ?

The Facebook page says cancelled for 2019.

Is it coming back?

Get an Aerodyne canopy. They have the coloured attachments.

The size rules apply to jumpers with a French license. Unless you have a ridiculous wing loading respective to your jump number, you should be fine

The DBag is the correct size. The main is too small. Your whole gear needs to be coherent. It actually isn’t.

Depends where in Switzerland you are going. Visit also www.flying-devil.ch in Bex. Very scenic, plus the wind tunnel is pretty close

. Damn if I lived that close I’d either have to either get my ratings. And on staff. Or get a second job. Or both. that’s after I moved. Used to be 5 minutes.

15 minutes

Plus you get paid physical training and several days technical training before your first jump. Provided you make it through selection.

Another perk is you get paid to jump. On taxpayer money. Great idea.
