Im afraid thats all thats available

Is rolling out the method ?

An Pilots out there have done this ?

Hi
We are looking to do a demo jump from a Piper Cherokee 6 and need to talk to a pilot who has made drops from this type of plane before.
Our pilot just wants to ask some advice if there is anyone out there please ?

Many thanks

Does the BPA have any authority at all over something like this other than in an advisory capacity ?

I thought the only governing body would be the CAA.

Anyone know ?

Well I dont got a lot of sympathy.
As a brit (and BPA member) Ive visited several DZs in the UK and been treated like a piece of sh1t at most of them (Hib being an exception).

I took 6 tandems with a local BBC news crew and a local newspaper to C*******s once.
We were forced to pay for the privelidge of gifting them all of this free TV publicity 6 months in advance. We were spoken to and treated so apallingly that the TV crew left and refused to cover it, we all had a miserable experience and 6 more potential jumpers gone for good.

He sort of reveals his id on the basejumper.org site

Can anyone point me to a supplier to get smoke in the UK please ?

LOL!
Nice post bro.
"Your post contravenes the unwritten rules set out by the facist opinion police. Say anything that is slightly un-pc or outside of what the majority of people think and you will be pilloried."

Yep, I do.
I got shafted by them and Im just passing on my experience.

I wondered when theyd have to start giving their shit away for free!

I ordered a Matter suit over the internet.
I was measured by a professional seamstress 3 times to ensure accuracy who followed the directions on the site to the letter.I also specified twice in big bold capital letters some specific requests regarding logos and design.
It arrived on time.
It was a toally shockingly bad fit, too long everywhere and way way too baggy.
They totally ignored my requests in bold capitals.
When I contacted them to request they put it right they told me to sod off.

I can see why a certain freefly team based at the same spanish DZ as the Matter HQ has moved to sonic.
"Matter airwear - You are the customer, you dont Matter"

You might as well shove your money up your arse!

Sounds like you had a great experience with them.
Mine was a shocker from start to finish.
The material they use is certainly good enough and they delivered in the time they quoted but they ignored completely specific requests on the design, it was such a poor fit that I had to have it re-built by a seamstress and when I tried to get back to them to complain they just laughed at me and told me to sod off.
I wouldnt touch them unless it was for free!!

Hey, arent you supposed to drink a pint of piss every morning?
Improves the skin I hear.

How does it work in the mad world of BASE ?
Can you get any cover for medivac/3rd party damage ?

Thanks for all the feedback and PMs guys
Much appreciated.
Hope to appear soon on this forum with a sh1t load more knowledge and a jump or two under my belt.

Either in the UK, Europe or even US for a total beginner who is sh1tting himself ?

Hes probably holding back cos he really likes you so slap one on him.
As a guy its great when a chick makes the first move.
We get sick of having to do all the work and worrying
Enjoy

Oh No!!
What a wanker!!
Sorry boys, I should have known better.
Apologies to all.
:-(

Do any of the UK jumpers know if has ever been jumped ?

I jumped into Ginkle Heath, from 700ft, for the 60th Aniversary of Arnhem last September with Al Murray, Pub Landlord.

Strange you never heard of that. At RAF Brize Norton they spend a lot of time teaching you not to allow whip lash wack you head back either by "chin on your chest" or "hold your head with neck muscles shrug" techniques.
You , and everybody you watched must have good technique.

Thanks for all that guys - much appreciated.

It gets better every year.
Its very friendly and sociable and the apres jumping is a threat to your jump numbers!

Dude, when I went to do AFF with FFU it was a debacle from start to finish.
Some Cowmans fault, some not.
I ended up at empuria starting again and have never looked back.
My dime's worth says dont go near them.

Can n e 1 recommend a good, easy to use cheapish SW app for editing footage and burning onto DVD please ?

How much is a jump ticket out of a C47 when they run em ?
