Nice Article Yeah I wasn't actually planning on testing it out or anything. Just trying to open up a discussion. Just from a 5 minute research I noticed that between the stiletto and katana they have similar aspect ratios and similar spans. It would be stupid of me to argue with a PD engineer. Na' Cho' Cheese

THIS FORUM HAS BEEN DEAD So I've been hearing about experimenting with linesets and modding out your canopy. What have you done to your canopy to make it "better"? I've noticed how Katana's and Stiletto's look very similar. Their Aspect ratios and spans relative to each other are very similar. Has anyone ever tried to put a katana line set on a stiletto. I know of lots of times where people have put xaos lines on VX's. What other combo's can you use? Na' Cho' Cheese

Please do! I'm not familier with the roll pack. Though I can flat pack farely well. Na' Cho' Cheese

To compromise both the arguements it would be a lot better if the jump run was crosswind and freefliers would go first. You get the same if not more horizontal seperation with the same verticle seperation. Na' Cho' Cheese

Why not? Na' Cho' Cheese

They also say the MZ is at its max with a PDR 106 but I've seen my rigger pack a PDR113 into an MZ with a cypres. With that information... I would say that you can get a *little* bit bigger reserve than what mirage tells you will be the biggest. Na' Cho' Cheese

I'm agreeing with vectracide, don't buy what others buy. But since you asked the question... I'd order a power racer. With the multi-flex harness. You just can't beat the comfort in my opinion. Superior pin protection. Great reserve deployment. Very slim compared to other containers which means more aerodynamic. Simple. Na' Cho' Cheese

I can't think of any modern day containers that aren't spring loaded. Na' Cho' Cheese

OH ok. If thats what happened then I would see a need for cutaway then. StephZ: Did Russ send you those pictures. What an adventure. Na' Cho' Cheese

So what happened!?!? The toggle slipped out of your hand? How come you didn't think to reach back up and grab it. I'm all not for judging some one else but there was one at my DZ a couple of weeks ago where the lady explained after LANDING a LINEOVER that she didn't want to pay for the handles because she was afraid of dropping them. You must be the opposite if I understood your "malfunction". EDIT: mine was jump 163 on my stiletto 120. Na' Cho' Cheese

Sorry but people on this forum tell other people that they're going to die a lot. Hopefully you don't listen to everyone who tells you that your going to die... I guess there's good and bad about this website. The good this is you get to express what you really feel because you don't have to come face to face. And the bad thing is you end up bashing people when you wouldn't if you did come face to face. Na' Cho' Cheese

Archie!!! so are you saying every DZO who lets people under 18 skydive is stupid? There are so many great DZO's who let people under 18 skydive. Na' Cho' Cheese

can't go wrong with a used sabre. Na' Cho' Cheese

well in fairness to the TI I had a lot more jumps when he let me video the first students Na' Cho' Cheese

I've been trying to sell a friend's cobalt 170. They make them dude. Na' Cho' Cheese

Icuarus crossfire 99 but would like to demo a PD katana 97 Na' Cho' Cheese

Someone did femur in that ditch Na' Cho' Cheese

Well after many many many posts of getting flamed, I finaly uploaded some of my vids. This was literally some of my very first jumps with a camera. My 3rd camera jump is on here (jump 85) and it goes up to jump (246) Most of the filming is done by me but I'm in the video every once in awhile. Thanks to all who gave me advice. Give me more advice. Its on youtube... enjoy http://youtube.com/watch?v=XBVj0uQcU0c Na' Cho' Cheese

just be careful with that 109, they are getting hard to come by Quote Well she said PC9 but here's a whole crap load of super cheap 109's. No cables or anything but they're easy to come by. http://search.ebay.com/sony-dcr-pc109_W0QQfromZR8QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ3QQsatitleZsonyQ20dcrQ2dpc109QQsbrsrtZd Na' Cho' Cheese

uuuuh no. A micro raven 135 was pretty sloppy getting it in there. I couldn't imagine a PD 143. But... there was a vigil in there when I saw it go in. Proably doesn't make too much of a difference though. Na' Cho' Cheese

HFD! NSFS and NSFW man. You gotta lable this stuff. I thought this was like a "which rig colors" Na' Cho' Cheese

In fareness to me I did say some rsl's and some cameras. Aren't we saying the same thing. No rsl on camera jump because camera's are snag hazards. I jump with cameras and don't have an rsl simply because I don't like jumpshack's rsl. Na' Cho' Cheese

Rawa's a pretty enclosed too. Na' Cho' Cheese
