  1. The manufacturer says that is the way it should be. If there is not enough tension, then the canopy is too small.Or the Dbag is too small. And in all cases the hole of the loop is too big. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  2. Is it Bob Marley you have as an avatar ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  3. I am all with you when you say you do not want a mass entry in the country. Do you consider 2 families/8 people like a mass entry ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  4. Does it? I thought the grommets should be pretty much aligned.did you ever read the manual for a Vector3 ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  5. Length of the loop seems correct. Size of the eye of the loop is too big. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  6. Please drop your "Christian" card. I would like to sneak into Switzerland because it appears to be safer. Where is the best place to cross the border?It depends on which amenites you wish to benefit on arrival. It seems that Switzerland is safer indeed, for its locals, and more welcoming for the refugees, even if some of the accomodation is not necessarily up to par. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  12. I am not concerned with history. I am concerned about now.You got to remember that according to the muslim calender, they still live in 1437 scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  13. Quick interruption in the pissing contest. We lost a skydiver in the attacks. Pierro Innocenti was a freeflyer. Even jumped at Burning Man this year. Back to the pissing contest. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  14. If I wanted to buy an AAD and had the choice between a Vigil and a cypress, I would get a Vigil. Now if I had the choice between a Vigil and a Cypres, definitely Cypres. A cypress is a tree. A CYPRES is a CYbernetic Parachute RElease System I have my reasons to prefer a CYPRES. I prefer the fire/no fire parameters of that device. Over the 13 years I have been in the activity I have seen/heard of more undesired fires/freezes on the Vigil, either by unit or user error. Plus I have been saved by my Cypres, so I am kind of biaised. Nevertheless I am pretty sure that a Vigil would have saved me the exact same way. I am still not super fund of the multimode and the new offset settings. I prefered the "simple" version of the Cypres. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  18. Anyone with a list of containers with the cutter located above the PC? I can think of Mirage, Icon, Infinity... What else ? Any guesses on why it is more critical when the cutter is located above the PC? Parachutes de France scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  19. Maybe, I have to see how much time I have later today. But I don't put the risers below the reserve riser covers/flaps, if that's what you are thinking I saw a light girl complaining about how hard her toggle were to reach. She had landed with both riser covers closed scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  20. don't forget to send your riser covers Oh by the way can you post a picture of how you close your riser covers ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  21. maybe your mPOD doesn't give enough resistance to provide an "in-sequence" deployment. Remember that both riser covers should open symetrically prior to line unstowing/line stretch ? 350 jumps can be a cause of deployment troubles for your PC. Tired fabric, shortened kill line etc etc. Try a new PC and new kill-line and compare. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  22. Nice offset in your risers. For me it could be : -body position -asymetrical release of your riser covers. Can be caused by several things (PC not powerful enough, stowing bands too loose...) -main pin protection flap too rigid (there was a SB for that) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
