    The Mod to the risers is a further step to minimising the amount of overall drag but as stated is not related to the leg pocket.reply]

    He is not saying is it related, he is saying it's hyprocritical. You're minimizing the drag at the top, but adding drag at the bottom, however; as Ian has pointed out, the pocket is usually on the rear side of the leg, reducing the amount of drag.

    Another way to look at it is people jumping RDS and modified risers with really baggy jumpsuits. They try to reduce all this drag with modified container components, then slap on a huge baggy cotton jumpsuits, cancelling each other out.



    DOH! now it makes sense :S:$

  2. The Modification to the risers is in no way connected to the big trouser leg pocket. The pocket on your leg is for a removable deployment system. When open you can Remove your slider, pilot chute, bridal and main bag and therefore a pocket is needed to store this when removed. Yes this pocket will create a certain amont of drag but cetainly nowhere near as much the slider and pilot chute still attached.

  4. I have spoken with Icarus and the NEOS will be officially released in feb 07 however the response from the demos they have sent out is so good that you can order one now (like i have), I have also spoken with dave Ruffell from sunshine factory and the NEOS he was jumping at Z-Hills was an 84'.
    As for the openings on my crossfire, 800'-1000' depending on conditions. and i'm more than happy to wait, i've had some back breakers on stiletto's and sabre's. In my humble opinion Icarus have their opening sequence spot on. I'm a very happy crossfire pilot. B|
