    Hey, Has anyone had any experience with free flying in the Zurich wind tunnel when they put the AIRPIPE on it? They have pictures of people sit flying in the tunnel but I can't tell if they are flying little people or not! good enough to sit fly in?? Anyone?

    Square1

    I've tried to contact square1 rigging on several occasions and heard nothing back from them. First I placed an on-line order and received no confirmation, then I tried emailing them, then phoned them twice but no one answered. Is it just my timing or is no one there? As I could really do with some new goggles, new velcro alti stap, new knife etc.. not many plaves seem to sell replacement wrist straps for the alti 3. Am I just unlucky?

  6. Yea, Top night ...considering I only got telephoned at 6pm ( after doing a 8 hour shift ) and told that I wasn't as far away as I thought, got my arse into gear and drove up although I didn't have my penguin suit with me. As for Sunday....it involved a 10 hour shift at at double time!! (should pay for the cypress service this month!) ( Bex, where were you most of the night? never seen you once all night... I know, I know.... At the bar! ;-) )

  8. Yea, pain in the ass all that. The software will only import mp3's that are recording at a certain bit rate, antything over or under is not import. I just downloaded a mp3 to wav converter and it had options to output again in mp3 format, but at a specified bite rate. ( Can't remember the name as I'm working away from home! ) I would recommend that you get an mp3 player unless you really need Mini discs. Ric
  9. Camera man has both feet on the wheel, facing the rear of the plance and exits eith a fraction of a second before or at hte same time. The other two who just do what they want. The Camera man can then fall down and get the plane and both of the jumpers in view. Looks cool! form every angle, especially when you get the rear float camera on the jumper on the wheel falling out to the side from the front wheel!!

    Free Running

    Yea, have to say it was pretty cool seeing them bouncing off everything. One of the best bits was where one of them jumped accross from what looked like one balcony to another. quite a distance. He did a full 360 during the manover and kicked off te wall three times before landing on the other balcony object. Cool! I thought some of the camera work could have been better, especially on the two story boat jump. As was hard to see just how high the guy really was. but then I reconed that they were saving some of the best stuff for a vid or something. Yea.. very cool!
  14. There should be coaching avaliable but it will be very busy. I think it's more for people who have their AD licences. but they have asked for people to come and try out for the liecences if you do not have one. Also, Not 100% but I don't think you need a cypres over there. Cause I did a few jumps with serveral people that did not have one! Have a great time over there, it's a great place.
  15. I have not inspected my kit yet but when I do ( I will look tonight! ) how will I know if my pin is from the batches they are requiring testing on? Is there a serial number on the pull handle that the pin and cable are threaded through. Will it be detailed in my papers where the serail number of the container is??? does it only apply to rigs that were manufactured between a certain dates??
