  1. Vectran also has no shrink... --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  2. I believe (note the use of the word believe, not know) that the exit order at Eloy, and for that matter, at my DZ (since we use the same rules) is primarily based on ensuring horizontal separation. The reason students, and high pullers go last, is that you can get back further from a higher altitude, so with 10 groups out of an Otter (for an eg) the last few high pullers will still have a good spot. My point is...vertical separation is not an issue, as horizontal separation is maintained, and even the last groups out don't get hosed, as they're opened higher...perfick! --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii!

  3. The above works out to: $2650-$3450, is $3500 such an unreasonable estimate? --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  4. Dude! Check out the central attachment point with a line to each riser...The slider grommets must have been on top of one another when that thing was packed! That is way cool --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  5. Chest rings also make harness turns less efficient, and skew the geometry of your rig somewhat... Gus, I'm working on the verification code...looks like a bug several people experienced...I'll let you know --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  6. Yeah, 1st April...guess I'd better get my arse over there to jump before I get banned... --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  7. At my DZ (a club not a commercial operation), WARP Instructors get free WARP jumps, Category System Instructors get free jumps, Category System Basic Instructors get free followouts, and Tandem Instructors get two free personal jumps a weekend, as well as free Tandem jumps! --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii!

  8. As mentioned above all CYPRESs get serviced by either SSK in the States, or Airtec in Germany. Chris (Thomas) just batches the units up, and sends them to Airtec in Germany. (Hence the cheaper price than if you went direct) --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  9. When does the Netheravon enforced AAD rule come in? If by then, count me out...Guess I'll just have to defend my BCPA FF honours at Hib that w/e... Likely to be more competition this year though... --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  10. Looks like it was for standing up the landing...hence "Stand Bonus"... --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies

  17. Clicky Yes she is known to us...read her firsthand account above
  18. I was packing for others before I started jumping, so naturally I always packed my own, then I relented one day, when I was extremely busy with Tandems etc, and let a packer pack one of my personal kits... When I opened, a frap hat flew out of the canopy! The upside was that my spot was perfect...the frap hat landed in the pit! Before (400 jumps) and since then (500 jumps ago) I have always packed for myself! --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  19. Jim, That would be my advice as well...there are plenty of decent freefly-friendly containers out there...well maybe not in your (our!) size Get a new rig then come jump with me again... I still haven't found anyone else I have to stand to stay with... --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
  20. The costs are almost equivalent in the UK: Cost of Cypres: £700 Cost of maintenance: £500 --- Swoopert, CS-Aiiiiiii! Piccies
