Hello everyone. I´m training for the AFF IRC and I´m having some issues when the student floats. I´m 6"2, weight 190 and I´m wearing a tight RW suit with booties, and for these jumps I´ve added loose sleeves. The question is, is there anyway to modify my falling rate without changing the suit? I´ve heard about wearing a loose T-shirt over the suit, but I don´t know if it really works. I hardly notice the loose sleeves I´m using. Thanks and blue skies.

After a gear upgrade, my openings have improved a lot, and the problem is solved. I changed the small F111 pilot chute to a medium zp one. My rigger told me that the original one was too small for the canopy, but when it was new, it worked. With more than 300 jumps, it wasn´t able to pull the bag strong enough anymore. Thanks everyone for the feedback, and blue skies.

Thanks everybody for your help. The only change I´ve noticed since I started jumping this canopy is about the speed of the opening. It gives me slightly off heading openings very often, and completly off heading ones occasionally, but it´s been like that since the first day.

Really? After so few jumps?

Thanks, I´m trying to contact my rigger. It´s usual to replace the pilot chute or reline the canopy with 323 jumps? Blue skies.

Hello everyone. I have a 170 feet sabre 2 canopy, bought new a couple of years ago, and I've noticed that it's becoming slower at the openings. It has 323 jumps, and now it takes around 1300-1400 feet to open. I've packed it in different ways and have it packed by dz packers without change in the openings. What do you think? Pilot chute problem? Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks everyone. I know Deland isn´t having night jumps these days, that´s why I posted here, in case somewhere else they were planning to have them. I´ll try in z-hills. By the way, are balloon jumps usual in Florida? Any dz I should think about? Blue skies.

Hello everyone. I´ll be visiting Deland next month from the 2nd to the 13th, and I´d like to do a night jump. Anyone can tell me if there will be (skydiving

No hurricanes, pleasant temperatures and BEER... See you in December.

Hello everybody. I´m planning to make a skydiving travel to Florida, probably to Deland, next november-december, and I´d like to know what the weather uses to be like. Thanks and blue skies.

Sorry, I hadn´t updated the profile for two years. Obviously someone with 30 jumps shouldn´t be jumping a camera (not even thinking about it). Blue skies.

A helmet question. I´m using a full face mamba for rw and some time ago I started using it with a gopro on the top with an adhesive mount with great results, but I´m a little concerned about having problems in the opening without a quick release system, so I´ve decided to change the camera position to the front. The question is, where would be the best place to drill a couple of holes?, the forehead piece or directly the top of the screen (I´ve seen the last). Thanks.
