Here is my Pilot 168: BLK, BLK, RED, RED, GRY, RED, RED, BLK, BLK (Hard to tell from the photo, I know :-P )

Didn't M$ stop supporting 98 back in 2006? No security updates for you

Here is a video of a (mostly) drogueless tandem... mostly, because they do deploy it a little before they pull the main canopy... http://youtube.com/watch?v=5iV6DRD78k8

Does anyone know who makes the skydiving stuffed animals that are in Square 1's catalog? My girlfriend has this stuffed animal that she loves and I want to get her a stuffed animal sized rig and goggles (not the entire stuffed animal) Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I am looking for a ride too, because riding my motorcycle makes for a long ride, though you can't beat $5 for a gas round trip!

I took my AFF and got my A at Skydive AZ, it really is a nice place to learn to skydive, they are all really friendly and want to help people learn the sport.

Sweet thanks! ... just wanted to make sure!

A while back I tried out a different type of canopy... I think that it is a Silhouette... but I am not sure The canopy is in the attachment below...

Thanks to all... I only wish that Mirage had a larger canopy database!

I am looking to buy a pilot 188, but am wondering if it would fit in my mirage m4 g4 rig... Any help is greatly :-) Thanks mucho! Matt

I have been doing some research on ground launching and am wondering what type of canopy I should look into getting so I can practice some kitting. Thanks mucho! Edit: sorry I was in such a hurry I forgot important information! I weigh about 160 pds.

Yeah the raven is manf in 1995, and the firelite in 1987... (missed the 8 there) :-) I weigh about 160 pounds, both seem in great cond. Raven is white, and firelite is light blue. I have a mirage m4 container and it says that it can hold a raven (g) I. And it looks to me like the lines on the firelite are a lot thicker (double that of the raven)

Ok here is the deal, I have two reserves and am wondering which I should keep, one is a firelite 176 (manf 7ish) and the other is a raven (g) I, manf(95)... I am looking to put one of these into my mirage m4, and maybe sale the other one, if I can't find a use for it. Any suggestions about which one is a "keeper" Thanks!

I was wondering if a mirage (g4, m4) would fit a Raven I (manf 95) for the reserve. Thanks, Matt

I had to repeat level 1 once... I exited the otter in a good old "oh crap" position! (meaning i was a ball for about 4k) hehe

Hey everyone, I just bought a mirage g4, m4... and saw on the mirage web site that it can fit many canopies up to 190 (like a brick) I was wondering if it could fit the sabre2 190... (only asking because it doesn't say anything about it on the website. Any other 190ish canopies that I might want to look into.. (I have been jumping a sabre2 190 for about 40 jumps now) Thanks

I know that I was scared when I did my hop and pop not to long ago. But I got on the otter, and sat by the door... and before I knew it we were at 5k, and it was time for me to jump. I took a deep breath and did my out in out.... and I knew it was going to be ok when I saw 4-5 people looking at me out the door of the plane, it made me smile, then I felt the tug of the canopy and I had fun! (the only down side to a hop and pop is waiting to see who got it on video) :-P I know you'll do great!

My reserve is a used Firelite 176. And as far as getting a smaller container for jumping a 150 in 100 jumps... well the m4 can fit a 150 - 190.. that is why I was thinking about getting it. I am going to the DZ tomorrow... (I hope it doesn't rain to much tonight) and talk to square 2...

Thanks everyone again for the comments, I have been thinking all day about it, and have decided to go with a M4 type container, which I should be able to pack my 190,170,150 in... as well as have a slightly bigger reserve! I think that this is the best option that I have. Also I really don't have to worry about a bag lock, and I will have a easier time packing the 170 in the m4 then the m3... Thanks So so so much for everything again guy/girls! Matt

Well I was saying my current weight is 160 + my gear weight 20.. ( I say 160-165 cause my weight flexes anywhere from 155 to 165)

Hey thanks for the salt :-P My wing load for the 170 would be about 1.05 (being that I weigh about 160-165)

I am thinking about getting my first rig. I have about 75 jumps now (45 have been on a sabre2 190, All of my landings have been stand up ones, and I am very in tune with the canopy), And am thinking about downsizing to a sabre2 170... or another 9 cell 170 sq ft canopy. For a container I was thinking about getting a mirage g3 m3(used of course), with a 150sq ft reserve. I just want to see what the skydiving community has to say about this, because I really do value your comments/helpful tips! :-) Thanks, Matt

Hey thanks for all the responses! As for the questions... I am making the change because the sabre2 that I am flying right now I am renting from square2 in eloy. And I am looking to buy myself a canopy that I can call my own. What I really want out of my canopy is: I really like to pull a little higher and have fun with the canopy (turn hard, dive etc)... I am used to landing every jump on my feet :-P... And most of all I want something that I can keep for many jumps. Oh and i weigh about 165ish (+/- 5 pounds), I am 5'11ish, and 22 years old... hehe there is everything that you might need to know! ;-) Thanks again everyone!

I have been flying a Sabre2 190 for about 4 months now, and am looking to get a PD 170... I was wondering what can I expect from this canopy? Any help/comments would be great! Thanks very much!

I am just starting out in the skydiving world with about 68 jumps in just over a year... I'm going to college here at the University of Arizona (working as a computer programmer/web designer at the Eller College of Business ), and am dire need of a rig. Currently I rent my gear at square2 (Eloy) for about $75 + hook up/take down, which cost me a lot just for the gear... so in turn i only jump every other month... I am wondering if you guys know of anyone that might want help updating/creating/programming a website in return for a rig (container/main/res/etc). I love the sport so much!
