  1. I am not doing this.. I saw and public the picture only for the diagram of my fall speed. In my second ws jump in arizona the line of my speed was like "mountains" up and down all the time.. Here is more stable.. I thing it is very helpful to have a stable fall rate right?
  2. Thank you For the replies guys! @ tommyh I did the same things with you. The size is small as I am a small person and I am using the third loop on the hand-loop. I had the suit as tight was possible.Also I didn't have someone to film me to see if I had my body straight or arch. Also I did move my arms like you said "making curve or scoop" like the other suits and I didn't notice any different....Correct me if I am wrong please. That's why this suit is very easy to fly..!(I thing) I have the feeling that I can keep the same body position for a long time.. Also I didn't try to slow my fall rate to stay more seconds in the air,or something else.. I just left my self to fly as fast-far I can. But from 8700ft and pull at 4000ft I thing is difficult to do more than 55" flying the suit...not stalling the suit... Am I right? This weekend I will try it again to another DZ with porter and 12.000ft exit.. I hope to do it better this time and stay more than 100" flying.. Just for the record,In my second ws jump in arizona I did 82" from 13.000 to 4500ft with a birdman suit.. So I thing the 55" for 4500-5000ft of feefall is way better than the 82" for 8500ft of freefall...:-)) So,in general I thing I did very well,but I don't have experience.So I am asking your opinion-advice. You guys (the most of you) have more experience than me..:-)) My jump is on youtube HD.Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLXEWC57nes
  3. Hello there! On last friday I received my First wingsuit "s-fly expert".!! On Saturday I did the first jump. I thing that I did it very well (first time with this suit and 4th ws jump),but I need the opinion from someone with more experience. In Greece I am the only one with wingsuit,so I can't ask here for advice. I have attached the details from my altitrack. I had coverd some distance,but I am not sure how much klm was. But I had all my wings and my legs full open.I have read a lot of things here and I remember that the ws needs speed to fly. So I was focusing to fly as fast-far as I can and I did 55" for 5000ft of fall. Any advise, tips, or opinion about the photo will be very useful for me. Thanks.
  4. No.It is stadard color.Not a custom..but I was lucky because they had in stock the color I wanted and I didn't have to wait 8 weeks to make one.So they send it to me in one week.
  5. I get my wingsuit also this friday!!! Very nice suit and flies very easy.!!
  6. I have the old cx100 With the Raynox 5050 hd pro. I did a comparsion test of the century .55x the century .5x and the Raynox that I have today. I was filmed the same thing for 10" with the three lenses. The result was nothing different than my Ranox 5050. Except the colors (better on century lenses )and the century .5 HD was a bit wider than my Raynox. I see the videos on a 46" FULL HD 100hz tv. So I decide to go for the century .55x because of the size. It is very small and light and I didn't noticed any different in image quality at all..I saw the videos to another 4 people and they have the same opinion. So, ther is no reason to buy something bigger and more expensive than the Century .55x. I dodn't know how can I upload an image to see the lens but here is a link to see it.. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3741968;search_string=century;#3741968
  7. But another think is the membership and another think the license... The membership and the insurance for third is valid only for USA with this card right?? Here we have to pay another insurance and of cource membership for the DZ. We have 2-3 DZs here and we have to pay membership and insurance for each DZ... It is like your driver license,or a school degree.... You don't have to do the same exams every year to renew your license...:-))) YOU HAVE IT and it is valid FOR EVER... I think the same think is with our license. We have the paper with the signatures from our instructors and it says that I am,he-she is able to jump alone etc... Am I wrong?
  8. Hello there! I have a quick but also a silly question for you. A friend of mine went to a new DZ in our country to make some jumps. The guy in the DZ told him that he must do a check dive first, because his USPA membership was expired...??? The question is: The A',B',C',D' LICENCES are expired???? NOT the membership...the licence... I mean you still need a check dive after a 3,4,5...10 months from a delay or a pause from jumps... My friend was current skydiver. I am not asking this.. My opinion is that it is not expired... Can you inform me about that,or better if you have an official link from USPA to print it.. Thank you in advance . Blue skies.

  12. Yes I know the site and the e-mails for the skydive Arizona. But I have send several e-mails without results. My first mail to them was on 8 or 9th of Sept. And still waiting.. Thats why I wrote this post...
  13. No because my english aren't very good. I mean I can talk with someone but it is easier for me to read...:-)) (I am from Greece) In the worst case I will call them.
  14. Hello there! Has anybody trying to contact with skydive arizona via e-mail?? I have send 4-5 mails there without results... I will visit the dz this Dec and I want some infos.. Thanks.
  15. Yes I know.... I am afraid to do it my self.. I will send the camera to clean it and also replace something else inside...Idon't know the word in english..Something like "fog glass" ???
  16. A few photos from last weekend..
  17. They weren't about your photos. (You can always look at the name in the "Re: [...]" header of the message.) Thank you man.
  18. Can someone explain to me please about the 3-4 last posts here?? I can't understand if your are talking about my pictures or not...
  19. Thank you. Finally isn't much bigger...as it looks on the photos.
  20. Hi! I have a question... Does anyone knows the external dimensions from the cookie or the tonfly camera box for the cx100-105?? I want to check how much bigger the "camera" will be...The boxes have extra room for the bigger battery and for the hype d pro... I have the camera side mount and I don't want to be bigger than my old pc105.. I mean this camera is too small!! I have a raynox 5050 and it is already bigger. We are looking for the smallest-lighter HD camera on the market and with all these things we "transformed" to a much bigger and heavier... Thanks.
  21. "Anyone know where to purchase a good metal ring?" Hi. Sorry to read about this... I bought mine raynox 5050 from this store.. www.digitaltoyshop.com They gave to me a free metal (aluminnium) step ring.Also the 5 plastic step rings.. The shipping was very very fast!!. The second day after the order I had the lens..!!! I thing the store is in Spain.. Try contact with them if you want... Also you can "pay cash on delivey" if you talk with them..and a free delivery if you place the order by phone.. Good luck.
  22. Here is my custom side mount..for now at least
  23. Hi! I have he same model with the raynox HD5050pro. I have set it to auto focus and I don't have any problems...
