Rover7

Within the next 30 days, you will see a control for the CX7, selling for less than 100.00, that has features that skydivers have never dreamed of. Or maybe only dreamed of, but will have access to for the first time. You'll realize how weak the LANC protocol is (and it's for tape-based systems only). Has this control for the cx7 come out yet?

Since Lake Wales doesn't seem like a great midweek spot, how is Sebastian on a Tuesday? I know Z-hills and Deland are pretty good during the week, but I wanted to try some new spots. Does Sebastian put up regular loads during the week. I know they have a boogie going on right now, so does that mean they might me slow next week when I would like to stop by?

Is lake wales busy during the week? I might stop by there next week mid week and I just want to make sure that loads will be going up all day.

i can do it for you. send me an email

a guy named TONY in JERSEY? Ha,ha... that really narrows things down for me...

Any balloon jumping in the northeast NY, NJ, PA...?

the chesepeake bay bridge is a beautiful thing to see, but once you get north of there, there's not much pretty things to see on the way through delaware, and nj. are you looking for city views of philly?

Thanks, I guess it's better if I keep the optima in my helmet instead of in the reserve container. :)

Damn I just ordered a new PD126 2 weeks ago. Anyone know what stage PD would be at with my new reserve in 2 weeks? If they haven't started it yet, maybe I could switch my order to the Optima

Anyone get to check out the new Odyssey backpad? Is it more comfortable than the spacer foam? Any pics?

Anyone have Matter Freefly pants and jacket they want to show off? Just wanted to get some visuals and see how they fit. When ordering, you choose between: Tight, Normal, Normal + and Loose. I don't want much drag, but I also don't want them too tight. Anyone know how their different cuts fit? Thanks

Anyone try the Canon HV10 yet? I would love to get when I'm ready to throw a cam on my helmet, but would love to hear anyone's experiences with it.

Here is my Javelin Odyssey 0JK. Basic color is silver cordura. Reserve container - gold diamondback. (a kind of parapack) Top of reserve pilot chute and parts of central flap - hunter green diamondback. nice rig. is the binding trim also silver, or is it charcoal?

thanks. wow, the charcoal really looks like silver. sharp rig

I would love to see some of your javelin container pics. i am in the process of choosing colors and would love to see different ones. I really would love to see the differences between blacks, charcoals, and silvers. It hard to get a good idea from the sunpath color chart. thanks

Thanks for the input folks. Not sure if I said this before, but I don't necessarily think there is something wrong with the javelin design, I just want make sure about certain things before I purchase a rig. And on the javelin, that is one of the only things that I am sort of concerned about.

I'm talking about new javelins. I understand that they improved the flap from the older ones, but improving and redesigning are two different things. I very new to rig shopping, but just from what I have seen, rigs like vector and mirage and wings have much more secure reverse flaps. Looking and touching the newer javelins, they just seem to be a little less secure with the downward closing. I have also read some threads here where many people talk about the javelins flap being a little more prone to opening in freefall. I understand that some of this is due to different size canopies and so forth, but I was just looking to buy a new rig, and I wanted to get an idea if this is an issue or not.

Is the Javelin's main pin flap a big problem or not? From many of the rigs I've seen lately, the Javelin is the only one that hasn't changed the design of that flap. Why not? The other rigs, such as Vector, Mirage...etc. seem to be much more secure. Does Sunpath have any plans on redesigning their flap? I love the Javelin rigs, but I am stuck on this main pin flap issue that I hear so much about.

Hints?

thanks Spizzzarko i do appreciate the advice. blue skies

keep em coming. i see you're a great bunch of folks that keep chiming in.

thanks, i'll check out the pia thing. Reference to unnecessary comment removed by slotperfect obviously damion75 hasn't looked at the price of all rigs lately. the top 3 are only about $500 more than the others.

Has there been any manufacture leaks regarding any groundbreaking new gear or improvements for 2007? When would they announce anything new? I was thinking about ordering a new rig, but heard that new products are often released in Jan. While we're on the subject, my top choices are Odyssey, Mirage G4, Micron. Any suggestions?

thanks. maybe i'll go to crosskeys this weekend to see what they have

is there a specific dz in florida that would have the top manufactures rigs available for demo?
