    Is there any thing close to West point? I am going to be at the academy for the summer doing training with the cadets.

    Looking for input from people jumping the HC21 and the lens they recommend for general skydiving videos. What does .42x mean and what is the difference between .42x and .6x? What is Macro?

    Is there anything I can use to remove the snag points on the "L" bracket? I do not have access to gaffer's tape at the moment. Just looking for something to get me by until I can get gaffer's tape.
  4. skydiver8282
    Can gaffer's tape be bought at a local hardware store? I need some and do not want to have to order it.

    Looking for help on the placement of the bracket. The instruction say as far forward as possible. Was hoping to see a picture of a setup. Thanks.

    Is there a problem with triple wrapping rubber bands? All I have available are the large rubber bands, which are to loose for the microlines on my canopy.I can double wrap the first four locking stows, but the rest I have to triple wrap to get a secure stow.

    Hey thanks...It worked great. There must be something wrong with V2.4.0. It never got past stage 1 and the count down never moved. Oh well, guess I will keep V2.3.1 since I have no problems with it.
  8. skydiver8282
    Does anyone have V2.3.1 updater? I have tried to update my Neptune to V2.4.0, but I keep getting an error when I try to update. Now I want to try the V2.3.1 and see if it gets my Neptune working again.

    I will be in the Attleboro area the 2nd week of June and was seeing if there was something close by. Does Jumptown run during the week?

    Does anyone know of a good place to jump in the Providence, RI area? Newport seems to be a tandem dz only and all the others I have found are in the upper mass. area.

    Relative new item. Have been no issues since the recall last year. I bought mine mainly for the "no" scheduled maintenance and for the fact that I like to go against the "norm". I don't buy something because everybody else does. That is why so many people are still buying Cypress. It offers more for the money, with some the data it tracks. If you are in the market for a AAD, I HIGHLY recommend the Vigil.

    How do the sizing run? small or big. I have a 23.5 inch head and need to find a helmet. Have met with disappointment with other helmets.

    Was just checking. Seen a picture of it some place. Thanks....

    Has anyone seen this software to access the Neptune data on a computer.

    I recently bought an XXL EVO and it was way too tight. The web sight said the XXL was for 23.5 and up, I have a 23,5 incd head. Just wandering if anybody else has had this problem with EVOs.

    The pin comes out with no problems, the container lifts off the floor at the point the bag is suppose to come out.

    I just bought a new Mirage M6. I also bought a new Sabre2 210, but won't be here until June. Anyway I have a old Skymaster 230 that I have been jumping and is the canopy that I will jump with container. It is a very tight pack job. I can get it in the bag with minimal effort and close the container with more effort. The closing pin releases with ease, but the bag stays in the container when I lift on the bridal. Will this be a problem in freefall?
  18. skydiver8282
    can anyone explain the different lines types and what they look like?
  19. skydiver8282
    I deployed at 3500, by the time I had everything under control I was at about 2100 give or take...alti goes quick... I believe both brakes were still stowed. Everything happened so quick.
  20. skydiver8282
    I wasn't like i planned it. I felt the canopy spin during inflation and the next thing I know I am spinning. I felt I was able to correct the situation and I did....

    Does anyone know what will cause line twists? On my second jump yesterday, my canopy twisted on opening and had two complete twist. That caused me to go into a violent flat spin until I got the twists out and released the brakes. Just looking for any ideas on what could have caused this. I pack the same every time and never had twists before.
