  1. Hope you are on your way to get the case of beer for your buddy..
  2. I have a rawa box side mount and CX100. battery I went with is np90 fits perfect inside the box. 271 min on battery.
  3. Ok bit of an issue. Camera HDR CX100 with hypeye pro d. If I try to turn it off with hypeye the camera shuts off and then turns back on after 3 sec. I did disable the power on by LCD. any suggestions on how to turn off camera with hypeye pro and stay off?
  4. No issues here. The only issue is when you tuck it inside the pouch, after a while if you not careful you might get small holes in your pilot chute. I had to put in a patch.
  5. Plan a nice vacation to U.S. Pick a DZ with nice weather. Contact the DZ ask about AFF program and price. Or pick a DZ in Europe do the same thing. Contact multi DZ's so you could get the best deal.
  6. I don't think anything is open in early March too cold, This place opens late March early April, You could check out http://www.pete.pl/html/ Jump ticket 70 zloty about $29. Nice plane turbo let landing area is huge, Nice people I am sure someone speaks English there. There are couple of other DZ but thats the only one I have been to. Did not jump weather was crapy.

    Katana

    Great canopy if you starting to learn how to swoop. Great openings if you body is in good position other wise will turn 90-180 degrees. No issues doing video with it and coming from a long spot. Great riser pressures on turns. Canopy likes speed but be careful. I demo the Katana and purchased it same day. Second Katana got week later for 2nd rig.
  9. On this site there is a section called classifieds go check it out look for complete systems. It will give you idea how much you might spend. Maybe you will even find something you like

    Basics

    I was told to imagine you have your feet hanging on a bar by your toes. Roll your shoulders in, don't expose your chest. Push your hip in and relax. Other then going and doing jumps you won't learn by just someone telling you what to do. Have fun get a coach.

    Camera Suit

    I have ordered my Camera Jacket May 30th on rush delivery from flite suits got it on June 8 super fast. The suit looks to be well made and fits me as it should. Thank you flite suits and who ever made it.
  12. Any bigger hotel in down town will have a bash about $350 with the room. If you want you could call banquet halls out down town area most have New years bash.
  13. Chicagoland otter is already in Puerto Escondido. Have fun.
  14. Same web site you provided has the answers you seek. Read on. [http://www.flyaerodyne.com/download/miniforce.pdf]
  15. I think it's already in use. My DZ could tell me how many jumps I did and how much to pay. Or check your log book x $ per jump= total you pay plus beer.
  16. "So should I pony up the money and go AFF with the risk of paying more depending on performance, or take the path which leads to a pretty consistent median price wise? " I say keep dreaming every night about free fall till you get good and then when you show up at DZ you have no problems. It's safe and saves you money. Just kidding do what ever the guys said already.
  17. Just use a flat shipping fee then people won't ask you. If it's a small item charge them $5-$10 .

    Freefly Imagem

    Over all it's a nice helmet. Great fit, very confotable. I have the freefly Imagem. All the stuff guys before me wrote are true. Only think I don't like is the camera box is not removable so if you change cameras you might need new helmet. Other thing is the lens part of the camera box could be made a bit better so it will look flushed,round and not oval when closed."Might be just on my helmet"
  19. I did do a jump from AN-2 in Romania last year. But since the sport is a bit expensive there it's not a lot of fun jumpers there. But it's a cool plane to jump from, very roomie could stand up and jump inside.
  20. Yes I do but since I left Poland 20 years ago it's a 5th grade Polish.
  21. Well hope you like it here. It's a bitch for first couple of years but after you get a good job and meet people it's great and since you skydive should be no problem meeting people. When you get settled visit Chicagoland Skydiving Center .I think there is only like 3 of us that are Polish. Erica is Polish but only by injection.
  22. Where do you live in Poland. You don't have you profile filled out.
  23. Rig looks like this guys post in Jan. Dont know how to make a clicky http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2000763;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;guest=19205278
  24. Have it shipped to your rigger inspect it. Ask your rigger what he thinks about the condition. Price looks good just from description compared to what was sold in the past on DZ.com
  25. Yeah peace pipe will work great at night. I wan't damn blue sky in the day.
