  3. ... from the manual: "Battery replacement Carefully slide out battery holder and remove batteries. Install new batteries using the correct polarity. Use only CR-2325 or equivalent." http://www.l-and-b.dk/downloads/manuals/pdf/soloII/SOLOII_Manual_310809.pdf

  5. Number of jumpers killed by low pulls in the last 39 years: A LOT! Number of jumpers killed by GoPros and Contours combined: ZERO! Number of AAD activations due to low/no pulls: Enough to prove their worth! Number of AAD activations due to presence of GoPro or Contour without low/no pull: ZERO! I call BS!

  6. Did progress fast! But not too fast, as asked Did not cause me to get hurt or hurt anyone else ...
  7. I am going to call bull shit on your post. I think you are just parroting what you have heard others say. With you experience level and time in the sport you couldn’t possibly know the sight picture for a 270 on any canopy much less one that is sub 150. Posting something in a manner that indicates you know it to be fact can lead to problems. You can come to believe you do in fact have the knowledge and skills you post about. Don’t take this as a flame but as a well meaning warning. Don’t let knowing the words convince you that you have the skills. Sparky +1 !!
  8. just take something on youtu.be ? http://youtu.be/zPQPSng9sLc http://youtu.be/XBijpePbFMM http://youtu.be/vr0kFT62wXs http://youtu.be/9oHd0WdZXaE http://youtu.be/15eXs48qUDc
  9. Hey, there are a lot of questions to ask ;-) CF 139 at what wingload? JFX 119 would be at which wingload? ... aren't that three steps at once ? 139 -> 119 -> two steps eliptical - XB -> one step ----- tolling around ----- SoFPiDaRF rules! You have to go to a 109 JFX to get the full power! They recoment a wingload Zit:"NOTE: Recommended wing loading 1.8 to 2.8 (Yes, you can load it up like a JVX too!)" ----- / tolling around ----- With the search http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=JFX&sb=score&mh=25 you can find some posts about the JFX but as there are not many flying around it will be difficult to get an average opinion. cheers
  10. Hey Peter, why did my engineering teachers told me all the time not to do things like cleaning our machines by blasting compressed air? --> e.g. the dust would be blown between the dovetail guide and that would cause a lot of friction and wear or even blocking. So if you blow the sand it will be blown into the cylinder between the cylinder wall and the blade wich can cause other error ... What's your experience or opinion about that? Holger
  11. What is your definition of a bandit DZ? ;-)
  12. Sauber!, wo sind die weggekommen? international ;-): FU**!, where are they stolen? [ - edit - ] found the info already in german-forum. Will keep my eyes open!
  13. Hey, did you get that already? Nice to have a closer look at the release of a 3ring system. http://youtu.be/AItz8GcYx60 have fun...
  14. Hey skydiverek, thanks not easy for me - stupid european I corrected above...
  15. Hey medusa, you meant miles/h it would be for the european - 56km/h vertical (35m/h) - 104km/h horizontal (65m/h) ------------------------- IAS 118 km/h (73m/h) [edit for miles]
  16. got a look there? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1762012;search_string=carving;#1762012
  17. Same here, once every 20 or 30 jumps the thing just breaks my neck. I was happy to read about the modification, until I checked my serial number: mine is higher than the s/n mentioned by Icarus. Oh well, I'll probably go for a reline anyway. As they wrote: *Just to clarify, the modification applies to all NEOS canopies with serial numbers prior to xxx12612. The first 3 digits may vary. So basically if your NEOS was manufactured prior to August 2011, the modification applies to you. Sorry for the confusion. Happy jumping everyone!* ----- > If your serial is higher, your canopy should be brand new?
  18. As karma said, THE jumpsuit company in Germany! Have a look at http://www.rainbowsuits.com/fotos-fallschirmspringen/index.php?action=showgal&cat=10 the majority of the german top teams use them. greets
