  1. Rob from Aerodyne just answered and it seems that 143 in a I4 will be just fine. Thanks
  2. Is there any experience in putting a PDR 143 in Icon I4 container? I've mailed Aerodyne more than a few times now but didn't get anything, so i would be intrested if anyone has done it and how it was. Thanks
  3. Had one experience with firebird regarding a 2nd hand system listed on their website...didn't go as expected. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4394725;page=unread#unread
  4. Changed them with longer (15 cm longer) ones, changed risers from 19" to 22", little improvement, but still bucking in turbulences and on front risers. No 150 hornet jumper around to help a bit?
  5. Thanks for the line specs. I sow this file some time ago, but to be honest I'm not very into rigging and is not very clear to me exactly which should be the lenght of the brakes. If i'm not wrong, in the file the line groups are measured one compared to the other.
  6. Just bought a used but in good condition Hornet 150. When trying fron riser with the toggle in my hands, the canopy starts to "buffet" (i think this is the word :)). If I let the toggles go and make another try with the risers, then everything is ok. I also read some posts about this problem and seems that my brakes are too short. My question, for Hornet jumpers or riggers, which should be the standard lenght for the lower brakes of the 150 Hornet. Mine's are 30 cm (almost 12 inch) from above the upper bartack to the knot of the toggle attachement point. Thanks,
  7. I got an answer from Sandy Reid and he's saying that in a couple of weeks they will put out on the market a RI magnetic slider keeper that is more or less similar to the one on the Curve. The attachement to the container will be made on the outside of container. Instructions will be available for field modification. Sounds pretty good. Let's see it.
  8. I allready mailed them and waiting for a reply. The "send the rigg to RI" option is a little bit complicated as I live in Romania, and I think that the transport and the waiting time would not be justified. Thanks a lot.
  9. I think this has been discussed a little in other topic but i'd like to ask some opinions (maybe some experienced riggers) about mounting a slider keeper on a Rigging Inovations Voodoo container. As you know Voodoo has a realy wide reserve pin cover flap and the elastic of the slider keeper cannot reach the normal position because of some tape hat goes under last reserve closing flap. Another option would be to cut the elastic and attach velcro to the loose ends, drive it under the pin cover flap, but higher than the tape that goes under last cosing flapand then close the velcro, but I don't know how safe this is. I'll try to make a picture to be more clear. Thanks.
  10. His english got much better :) This is what he answered after I asked a couple of questions about his identity: I appreciate your response,I'm an marine engineer and at this moment am presently working offshore,Sometimes access to regular emails and phone calls is very poor offshore due to inefficiency of the immarsat service,I located in Pacific WA, and i want you to know that I am ok with the condition of the canopy and the asking price as well,I am buying the canopy as a gift for my father and I want to surprise him.I don't have access to my bank account on-line as i don't have internet banking but i have my bank account attached to my PayPal account and this is why i insisted in paying you through PayPal,kindly get back to me with your PayPal email address and if you don't have PayPal account yet,it is very easy to set up at your bank or online and get it set up,after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with PayPal so as to put the money through,I can proceed with the payment and after the payment has been done,I have a pick up agent that will come around for verifications and to pick the canopy after i have made the payments for the canopy.So I will need you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the making of the payment. 1.Your PayPal full name. 2.Your PayPal Email Address. 3..Your phone number. Once again ,I will like you to know that you will not be responsible for shipping. I will have my pick-up agent come over as soon as you have receive the payment confirmation. Regards. Pretty funny. I supose the katana listed in the post above was for his grandpa :)

  12. Hei, thanks a lot for the answer. Tomorow I will have the first jumps on it. Hope the size and the pockets on the slider do their job and I'll have some pretty confortable openings.
  13. Just bought a used Hornet 150 and I'm curious about the sllider of the canopy. I've heard that the slider is pretty huge for slowing the openings and so it was. But another thing, on the front and back of the slider is sewn a piece of material that looks like a pocket. Is this the way that the hornet's slider came from the factory, or is it modified after for slowing the openings? I've attached some not very clear pictures.hanks.
  14. Hei, Does anybody know if I can still get a lineset for a Pisa Hornet 150 sqft. I know that the company was taken over by Aerodyne. Tried to ask them but i didn't get an answer. I'm looking to buy a Hornet 150 in good condition with 500 jumps on and original line set and I'd like to know if I could still find one for replacing in the near future. Thanks,
