  2. I've been jumping Firebolts since jump 24 I started with the 200 and have jumped the 182, the 164 (one of which I now own) and the 146. Have loved them all, and will tell you they all have good flight characteristics they can be really docile in slow flight and you can really get them to move if you want to. A nice straight in approach will give you just as much flare as a front riser turn to final. The canopy is really forgiving and at the loading you're talking about (around 1-1) would be a good canopy with your skill level. Just a piece of advice, demo as many canopies in the size range your looking for and decide for yourself which canopy is best suited for you!!!

  7. we're thinking $10 or $20, haven't decided yet. Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws
  8. Did my first two WS jumps today and Loved it!!! Was doing OK on the first and a little better on the second. Speeds according to my Neptune on my 1 were in 80's and 90's, then 60's on the second. I'm definately doing this again
  9. I have put on a rig with the foam on it and it feels almost like it's floating on your shoulders. Ok so how long do you usually wear you rig sitting or walking. For me the usual is 5-10 min. before boarding the aircraft, 10-30 min. (depending on the aircraft) on the ride to altitude. So your looking at anywhere from 15-40 min a jump that the rig is hanging on your shoulders. So as a low average, if you make 10 jumps a day the rig is on your back sitting or walking for almost 2.5 hours. I think I'd pay the extra $150 for the extra bit of comfort!!!

  14. ok I hadn't done much research into the Argus but considering my mother was a dealer for the Cypres and Vigil my options were a little constrained. But I've been around the sport longer than the cypress and had heard about the vigil when I started jumping this past year, so i read and did my research on the Cypres and Vigil and decided on the Vigil. and FAST: it's not like you need to change it and I don't use the jump counter in it that's why i have a neptune but it is nice to know that I have the option down the road if I end up having a tandem rig, have an aad fire during reserve deployment and need to get the rig back up i could pull one out of my sport rig and get it back up without a ton of fuss in doing so. that's why I like that feature. But I still hope to never have to use it Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws
  15. I have a vigil, in my rig and will have on in every rig from here on out. if I were a DZO Id still choose the vigil. What other AAD has the ability to be used in a tandem, student, or an experienced jumpers rig only to change it with a push of a button. With my current rig if I put a "young jumper" with a 200 sq.ft. canopy i could change the setting from pro to student without much of a fuss. i love my vigil and even though I haven't "used" it am glad it's there in case i do ever need it.
