  1. As long as your aad is a cypres there is no problem in jumping it during a crw jump.As far as a rsl is concerned, don't jump it on crw.You don't want your reserve going in the shit you just cut away from. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  2. If seen one wich was taking to terminal.It was a prototype that they where testing in Gap, France when i was there.I don't know what has become of it.But it appeared to perform verry well.The was also wearing a birdmansuite.He seemed to stay up for ever.

  3. Who did that?I like it big time If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  4. My rigger tells me to turn it off after a days jumping.If you start jumping the next day and you forgot to put it of and on again it could ,after it's 14 hours, switch it self off as you are catching the earlybirdload.And to me my rigger is god( the guy who is watching over me) so i do what he says.

  5. It's great.I am using one for nearly 1/2 a year now and have no complaints.And what about the looks?Well who cares anyway.It's comfortable,it even got some friends of mine scared when they saw me comming.It looked like a jetfighter pilot they said.But hey i am a top gun aren't i?

  6. Just come to Holland for a weekend.We do crew and you can buy beer at a younger age. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  7. That's the way to do it.Get behind each other and if you have a grip on theharness,you both fan out with the outside toggle.Than you steer them to where you want to go.
  8. Yes i made a few attempts to get to the bridle line on my back( i could see the pilot above me as a tandem).When this didn't work i pulled my reserve.After opening i could pull my pilot in ,put it in my jumpsuit and flew it down.This was with a Triathlon hybride with a retractable pilotchute,so the bridle is only a line and not a normal bridle.On the ground i found that the line had slipped under the pin and lodged.I could lift my total rig with that bridle so i wouldn't be apple to pull it in flight.Oh i did a compleet reserve procedure.

  9. 3 in 1700 jumps.2 crw-related and one a pilot in tow.That was the one where i heared the 3 warning tone of my skytronic.Under reserve at 1600 ft If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  10. Most of the competitionjumpers jump with a pull-out.They prefer it because the pack is open and they have a lesser chance to have a pilotchutehesitation. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  11. I would love to jump with you,but as one of the few remaining belgian crwdogs (read almost extincted) i have to be in Lapalisse France for a crw worldrecordattempt that starts on the 2th of august.But i'm sure there will be crw guys at Teuge to jump with you.

  14. The dickinson helmet was a manufactured one That you could buy öf the rack"I have one at home.I shall see if i can take some pictures of it If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook

  16. In france it isn't secam but it is pal/secam.That's why the frence can use them in the uk.But you can't use a NTSC camera as the americans are in the uk and europe.It 's an other system with more or less lines. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  17. I don't know the camera but i see in the specs that it has an Special 4-pin connector (based on IEEE 1394).You should check if it is completly compatible with a firewire port.Otherwise the spec's are impresive.

  18. Maybe it's a somewhat stupid question but what is a silkworm? If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  19. I'm using a promedion with a 2 ghz Pentium 4,512 Mb memory and a 20 Gb harddrive.Works for me. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  20. The Triathlon hybride is the canopy to go for freefall and occasional crew.Here in europe there are several teams using thetri for both disciplines.I use a triathlon hybride besides my Lightning and Diamond crewcanopy's for freefall and we always do crew after the jump.It's great If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook
  21. I think after 33 years your in need for a new camera.I assume this is negative film.If so what happens is that the second shuttercurtain isn't beginnin at the starting position but is partly on the way befor the first curtain is al the way home.That leaves the right part of the photo unexposed.

  22. It depends what you are doing with the canopys. I own a lightning 160, a Triathlon 160 hybride and a Diamond 180( the sequential version of the ruby). If you want to take it to terminal choose the triathlon. The ruby's and Diamonds are not suiteble.I know some people who take lightnings to terminale but the triathlon is better for that If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes???
