do some crw, and look here http://www.makeithappen.com/ learn to spot and be nice to the old guys, they can help you learn lots

Thanks everyone for the great input. I'll let you know how it went.

Both good Ideas, this is what I was looking for.

A lady I know wants to do a tandem, she is can not see well enough to drive but has some limited vision. Looking for ideas to make it more enjoyable for her. thanks

Because they don't have Obama helping them

The wind tunnel is closest

yea ez to pack as well and great flair, nice glide. Have heard over 1.3-1.4 range loses flare.

yea but we would have had great video

send me a msg and I can point you in the right direction.

Landing in sandy areas the canopy picks up sand that wears on canopy as well as packing area. A friend got back from a boogie out west and the amount of sand was more than we ever see here in Florida, unless you land on the beach

stand up and pack, I heard. I really don't care how slow it is for a couple jumps. what would you pay to do a dc-3 jump for charity?

Maybe I should just Take a trip to Haiti with them and jump before they land.

I got a swift 5 cell ride, toggles stored on the lines, saved me can't say it swooped very good

One was a reserve ride, one was getting out first, first load of the day. I chose both times to sink it in and had no problems, other than a long walk back. and I had a good tale to tell. heck I waited till my 3rd jump to land at the dz. Tandem landed out and my 1st aff I landed out, that was all my fault. Canopy control is important, You life may depend on it. (it does)

what sizes did para-flite reserves come in?

every week when I need to go on a long test drive. It goes past a couple of DC3's that belong to a non-profit. If the owner says it's ok, (I spoke with them and they say it might be ok IF i do all the work) I thought if i made it a fund raiser for them, we all win. How many jumpers can fit in a DC3, What about the door, what about seat belts. The planes are 25 miles from a dropzone that has had a DC3 many moons ago. Ideas on anything else I am missing or need to look out for? Anyone what to come along?

http://www.uspa.org/SIM/Read/Section5/tabid/168/Default.aspx#970 A License USPA A-license holders who have not made a freefall skydive within 60 days should make at least one jump under the supervision of a currently rated USPA instructional rating holder until demonstrating altitude awareness, freefall control on all axes, tracking, and canopy skills sufficient for safely jumping in groups B License USPA B-license holders who have not made a freefall skydive within the preceding 90 days should make at least one jump under the supervision of a USPA instructional rating holder until demonstrating the ability to safely exercise the privileges of that license. C and D License USPA C- and D-license holders who have not made a freefall skydive within the preceding six months should make at least one jump under the supervision of a USPA instructional rating holder until demonstrating the ability to safely exercise the privileges of that license.

Do not watch Fandango, or maybe you should and if your FJC is like this I'd look for a different drop zone try looking here http://www.transcendingfear.com/

how does the pilot do at just under 1.5 w/l ing?

thanks Mike. I guess I misunderstood, thanks for the update!

I got some jumps on a pulse 170 over the holidays. I will have to say it more than just ez to land. Got cut off on final and landed cross wind to avoid water knee deep and it landed nicely. Packed nice even under a canopy on a windy day, I just wish they made the center cell out of orange. (they make the optima out of it) to aide finding the center of the canopy. Turns were nice and flew flat and sweet. Always opened on heading and pretty ez to put in the peas. Has anyone towed a small flag? anyone jumping at 1.5 or above? the 170 I'm at 1.3 but thinking about a 150 but my container was to big for a 150. That puts me at 1.47

I'm trying to decide zpx pilot vs pulse. was told by chuting start to avoid zpx. Mike has to have a reason.

other than skydivers, we are almost crime free

08 lexus SC430 hardtop convertable. it's a blast to drive

Zpx would but the pulse 190 would pack even smaller and ezier
