i don’t say anything . Maybe if i am in the mood i will say « hasta luego »

Hey, i have this 10 years old Solo II audible altimeter that has lately been powering off intermittently. I changed the batteries and cleaned the contacts and was still doing it. I get the impression it may be the metal in the cover loosing spring from age but not sure. Have you had this issue with the Solo II before. It is 10 years old so that might be it. It has served me well and i want to keep it going. I use two audibles (2nd one is a brand new Optima II) so not too concerned safety wise. I may just give up and replace it . Any thoughts? Regards, Erick

Does the helmet sizing runs pretty similar on cookie g3 vs g4?

Do you have any pictures of bungee balls installed to hold the sliders? Do you sew it to the tape by the yoke? How long of a bungee do you typically use?

What does the average wind tunnel free fly progression looks like and what are the average associated costs? What does the time frame looks like?

So let’s say I open at 10K, pull on toggles and let them go up as far as the guide rings will let me and then star pull down slowly. Let’s say I mark the break line with a sharpie (next To the guide ring) at that point where if I pull just a bit more my parachute begins to loose lift i.e. the stall. Now, let keep everything else the same and only change the weight. What happens with regards to the stall? Does the stall point not change? In other words would the parachute just stall at a higher speed with increased weight and stall at lower speed with decreased weight with the actual point of the stall (or the mark of the sharpie) not changing at all? Would the same apply with altitude i.e. everything else the same and only changing altitude would the parachute stall at higher speed the higher the elevation and stall at lower speed the lower the elevation but the actual stall point (sharpie mark) being the same?

I have seen couple of instances where one jumper tells another (usually a rookie) to flare all the way down. This advice is usually provided without consideration about the stall point on that canopy. I can see how this advice mostly applies to very low jump # skydiver that jumps big >220 canopies set with toggle settings so low that stall point is not reachable or very hard to reach. However, as you start jumping your own gear or for that matter jump any canopy the jumper should find the stall point and not flare past the stall...flaring past the stall point will stall the canopy and specially if the flare is performed by mistake a little higher than usual could cause some hurting or bone breaking. I would like to hear other opinions on this. Are there any instances where it makes sense to flare past the stall point? Should you set the toggles so you can't reach the stall point? Regards, Erick

Thank you all for the feedback. Looking forward to the coming weekends to have some fun in the sky

So I am starting to fly Wing suits and was wondering what are some of the things I can practice to build up my wing suit skills arsenal thanks in advance, -Erick

I have heard great things about the factory diver helmet. Only thing I keep hearing is the visor fogging up (winter jumps) or during canopy flights. I see some people jump it with out the visor. Has anyone that tried the newer version seen any fogging issues? I have tried it on and love the helmet but never gotten a chance to jump one. Just want to get some feedback from people who have used it before I go put some money on it. Blues ones, Erick

Thanks

Hi, Anybody out there knows the cost of replacing the legpads on a javelin container ??? Thanks, Erick

Hi, When doing the recommended once a month cut-away cable cleaning what type of lubrication is it recommended? Is PAM oil ok...??? Is it ok just to wipe it with a piece of cloth without doing any lubrication?? Thanks, Erick
