  1. Would this help? http://www.basik.fr/fr/images/PD/velocity.jpg Regards When in Danger or in doubt run in circles scream and shout.
  2. I agree with krisco. I´m jumping my XAOS 21 98 loaded at 1.9 and I love this wing. She opens super snively and sometimes tends to search a bit, nothing major. Here´s a video of one of my openings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FbNEX3fxMo When in Danger or in doubt run in circles scream and shout.
  3. I recently started to fly a VX and this is the type of vibration I feel on my turns (fronts + harness). I don't know if it's normal or not but I noticed some slack on the D lines and that allows them to flap around as you can see on the video (and what I believe is causing this slight vibration). Any thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy9BPPT-a64 When in Danger or in doubt run in circles scream and shout.

  5. Thanks for all the replys fellas, I really apreciate. Dragonfyr, thanks for you concern m8, but this is not my first jump with a pull-out, (40 aprox), it will be my first hop n' pop with a pull out
  6. thanks for the reply adD, Trike It's a delta wing with a small engine at the rear
  7. Hi all, I did a trike jump (3500ft) last weekend with a borrowed throw-out/stiletto 135. The jump went fine, and I opened at 2500ft aprox. I will get my rig back tomorrow from reserve packing and was wondering if there's any "problem" of doing trike jumps with pull-out systems due to the low altitude/freefall speed. Any advice either? regards, Empadinha. When in Danger or in doubt run in circles scream and shout.
  8. Same here, try to grab bridle a couple of times, some elbow strikes on the sides and if all that fails I would cut away and pull reserve. When in Danger or in doubt run in circles scream and shout.
  9. Thanks for the input guys, I must admit that I had the throw-out habit at the beginning. I hold the handle just enough to let it easily slip from my hand when the PC inflates. Blue Skies. When in Danger or in doubt run in circles scream and shout.
  10. Hi, I just bought a power Racer that has a Pull Out deployment system. As I don't see too many of them here in Brazil I would like to know what do you guys think about the Pull Out system. I personally didn't like it at the beginning, because I was experiencing some delay. I talked to the previous owner and he told me hold the handle until the wind yank it out of your hand. Since then no more delays. Regards, Empadinha. When in Danger or in doubt run in circles scream and shout.
