  4. Hello Everyone. I am conducting a speech at school, and I would like to get some data on my fellow skydivers. This would be involing canopy control. I have made a survey at the following link. If you have 2 mins, could you please answer the 8 questions there. http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=227221 Thank you in advance. Sam the Weatherman Let go of the NUT!!
  5. Look at page 90 in October's Parachutist. Top Left corner American Sykdiving systems. Custom Javilns in about 8 weeks. I ordered mine from him last year and he has great deals and service. Sam Let go of the NUT!!
