  1. Hello There! Well friend i just had my first malfuction since i started in Sport! I have a G4 rig with a cayenne 190 with one of those fabulous split bags. I have done 100 jumps with it so far. i left out of the airplane at 4000ft to practice my landings.deployment around 3000, and felt that i continued free-falling. Yes i had enough drag to STAND ME UP seconds later! i could see the bag lock just looking up and with more unstability than usual i was able to grab and pull down both risers 2 seconds before the Emergency Procedures. My RSL opened my Reserve one second before i placed my hand on the reserve handle. Smoth landing. I hope that this helps to answer your question. Thanks Jferrand João Ferrand - Portugal http://www.blue-emotions.pt

  3. My modest opinion about this great bag design is...SIMPLY FABULOUS!!!! Actually i was packin it thw wrong way! I learned from a PD guy to pack it right! simply by passing the very first rubber band and the last rubber band in between the two line sets just before making the traditional Lace... result: perfect ON heading openings!... the worse thing about these bags is that the time we take packing is a bit longer then with traditional bags... just because of this procedure... Yes i think its worth it! i am very happy with my brand new G4 M4 container! MIrage Rocks! Blue SkIES..Land Safe! João Ferrand - Portugal http://www.blue-emotions.pt
  4. I THINK that all canopy manuals should have that! So it is Smart for PV to be concerned about it! That has nothing to do with the canopy..but the line set! You can have the same canopy for several years...and change the line Set in between...I see no big deal about delaying 3 seconds on the first jump! :) I have done a couple more jumps with cayenne 190 and so far i am a tremendously proud and a happy Cayenne owner! I have done a couple of jumps in Deland and Palatka (FLORIDA) and on every land i had people talking to me about the nice design of the canopy! it is NICE!!!!! ... I hope that this helps!... Choose what´s best for you! BLUE SKIES!!!! LAND SAFE! João Ferrand - Portugal http://www.blue-emotions.pt
