  1. I went from a Stiletto 170 to a Zulu 152. I felt they flew about the same. The Zulu opening were much more predictable and more enjoyable :-)
  2. I like mine. Sometimes doing a firmware update on it via my Mac is a little cluggey but other than that it has been fine.
  3. Email the company. Their customer support is fantastic. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  4. Get a properly sized container with a properly sized reserve and you will like your purchase. Get it with the Boost option also. On my reserve ride I thought my reserve didn't come out because it happened so fast thanks to the boost. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  5. Blis, I went with the two soft handles for an unique reason. I am in the Navy and I take my rig on deployment with me. When you walk around an active duty ship there are LOTS of snag hazards that will grab a metal reserve handle in a heartbeat. Pillows don't get caught. Now that I won't be on ships anymore I might reverse my opinion. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  6. Wow, great job. I would buy one of those. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  7. Ok, I am probably missing the obvious but I literally have no idea what I am supposed to use the USPA Sigma application for. Is there a mobile app for it that I can use to show my USPA card on my smartphone? Can I even show proof that I have a current USPA license from my computer? I thought that was the goal but when I look at my "merits" it doesn't tell me the dates that my license is valid for. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  8. When I was stationed in Sicily I specifically had to have Italian insurance (I was fully covered for medical by the military). It was explained to me that it was liability mainly in case I landed off and damages someone's property and such. I purchased it at the local post office. I think it was like 15 Euros for one year. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  9. Finally got a chance to jump my Brilliant Pebbles and it worked like a champ. Showed it to some other jumpers at the DZ and they were blown away by it. Awesome product! My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  10. Just got my Brilliant Pebbles. So easy to setup! If it alerts me at the proper altitudes then it is just brilliant. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  11. Thanks Gowlerk, I thought that was the case but wanted to ask. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  12. In my journey to get my Senior rigging certification I finally got a chance to see a Skyhook. Quick question, what purpose does the 4 lbs red rigging thread serve on the skyhook? Thanks My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  13. Firemedic, thanks, that was going to be my guess but I thought I was missing something. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  14. Ok, I have just started working on my 20 pack jobs to apply for my Senior Rigging rating. I jump a wings container and I have watched the Inspect and Repack of my reserve a couple of times. I do not have the Boost system (thinking about adding it) but I have read the manual from the Wings site. I see how the RSL will use the Boost to pull out and deploy the reserve and I see how the Boost will disengage if the reserve is pulled without the cutaway happening. What I don't understand is how the Boost system will detach the opposite riser (i.e., the starboard riser since the RSL is connected by a snap shackle to the port riser). Does it actually disconnect the starboard riser? Thanks Bruce My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
  15. I love seeing how many jumps I can get when my battery indicator is 0. I always wear two altimeters plus an audible so not a safety concern. I kind of feel like Kramer on Seinfeld we he wanted to see how far the car would go on E. BTW I carry 2 altimeters because at least once out of every 25 loads someone forgets their altimeter. My goal is that when all is said done I will have a big pile of well used gear and a collection of great stories.
