Aloha everyone, I have a cx110 and the avchd file is being put under a private file that I have to open to get to the avchd file, which is becoming a problemdue to the fact that the editing system autoloads the file fromThe avchd file, now the editor is getting backed up haveing to manually open the file. Does anyone know how to change it so it wont go into the private file and just be under the avchd file. Mahalo for your time pull low, fly fast, PLF!

Ok so I hear a lot of people talking about helmet cutaway systems, my question is what is your main reason for having one? Is it fear of entanglement with your lines/risers/bridal? I have checked out my friends on his ff2 and rawa, and thought that even though your chinstrap is off the helmet is still stuck to your head. My thoughts are if you have an entanglement wouldn't you want to hack your lines with your hook knife and spend a couple of hundred on a lineset instead of four thousand on a new camera set up? I really don't see all the hype in them, but to each his own that being said I'll probably have an entanglement when I go back to work. Thoughts or opinions anyone? pull low, fly fast, PLF!

Skydive Hawaii $8 dollars upjumper $5 dollars staff, of course spring and summer winds are 20-35mph come out and spend your money here and test you skill in some gnarly conditions, I was recently at lodi and I asked Bill in disbelief "no turns?" he threw my money back on the counter and told me to jump somewhere else if I want to do that, He even fired a couple of people when I was there for turns. Told them to leave and dont come back. SO it is serious, but hey come out to hawaii and jump at the most beautiful dz. pull low, fly fast, PLF!

dunked my pc109 in the ocean last week, outcome not good hope you have better luck than i did. pull low, fly fast, PLF!

Thanks for the advice, Its hard to get past the fact that the winds are almost always 20mph here and gusty. One day I will make it back to the mainland where the conditions are a little better, But till then I will just have to deal with it and keep on practicing. pull low, fly fast, PLF!

so here is my situation I live on oahu where it is really windy right at sea level. I own a crossfire2 129 loaded and 1.47 which I have put over 100 jumps on and am having a lot of trouble getting it to dive. when I was on the mainland at skydive new england it dove like a dream for me I was doing slow 90 degree turns @ 400ft and it was perfect, now that I am back on oahu I cant get it to dive and to go from good swoops on the mainland to doing nothing out here is very frustrating. Any advice from some experienced crossfire pilots would be appreciated. pull low, fly fast, PLF!

Get a ringsite, I had the same problem keeping tandems in frame and once I put a ringsight on my helmet it was a lot easier and you know for sure that it is in frame unless your sight is off pull low, fly fast, PLF!

Quote I guess I looking up the most conservative way to fly this canopy Just wondering if the katana is a canopy designed to be flown conservatively? I myself am just getting into swooping so I am not an expert on any of this, but I see a lot of guys that have been in the sport for a few years and have katana's, who have no business on them. IMO I think too many people are buying these canopys just for the name without the skill to properly fly them. Does anyone agree?

No one got pics of the downplane, not many people out on sunday. Had a blast and yes a case of crwbeer was in order.

On sunday my friend randy took me out on my first crw jumps. After chasing me around for a while till I got comfortable we pulled off a 2stack, side by side and a downplane. I must say I was nervousthe first jump, but when I grabed his canopy and hook my feet into his lines it was the most awesome feeling. I will definatly be back for some more crw jumps. pull low, fly fast, PLF!

I have put about 100 jumps on my 149 loaded @1.2 and it still cooks in so there is no reason to push it. pull low, fly fast, PLF!
