    oops... it's a 135

    No, it's not correct. I jump a smart 132 reserve, but my wing loading and reserve are not what we are talking about here. If you want to know more about what I jump and why I jump it then send me a private message. Thank you

    So if someone were to ask me about freeflying as long as they go solo, there is really no harm. I mean, making sure that they have an audible and helmet as well as the basic knowledge of what's going on. They should demonstrate awareness and ability to clear airspace on there belly proficiently before attempting to freefly in the same airspace as others, right? I just want to make sure this is what you are saying. Thank you for your input. It is very helpful.

    Really? 4 way even if they just want to start learning new body positions on their own? I agree with you 100% about the ability to track and clear airspace which is an A license requirement. I started freeflying with 36 jumps and I still have no desire for 4 way. So why should joe schmuck-a-telly be told he/she has to do 4 way first, before he/she can do what he/she wants? What do you think about someone just trying to get stable on their own for a little and then doing a 2 way freefly with someone experienced?

    I just want to get a general consensus about when it would be considered an appropriate time for someone to start freeflying. I know a lot of people who started freeflying just after obtaining an A license and some who say that you should be totally proficient on your belly first. Please let me know what you think.

    He has already made his first Tandem skydive and is very eager to continue on if it's at all possible. That is great that there is something out there like that!!! No he will not fall out of the harness, but I think that if he had artificial arms, then he would be able to reach everything just fine. the only thing is he would have to be able to see it, because he won't be able to feel for anything. Do you have any suggestions?

    The University of Connecticut Skydiving club has a member with Robert's syndrome. He has no arms past the elbow and artificial legs. He can drive, catch, throw and even write better then me! I was wondering if there was any way to design a rig custom for him to operate. Even if we were to come up with a design, how would we go about getting something like that approved? I know chances of this happening are slim to none, but if it's possible in any way, there is a large group of people ready to work hard to achieve it. Also is it possible for him to participate in tunnel time? If anyone has any information regarding this unique situation, please let me know.
