Hey all, I agree with Zeppo. As per the thread - You've had a bad incident - You said (On page 1 of this thread) that you will probably jump a 170 until you were current/confident. I have only 214 jumps, presently on a 170 main at a 1.17 wing loading. At 30 jumps on a 170, I have no plan to downscale until I feel confident (Possibly at least another 50 jumps). But I believe in Brian Germains approach to canopy piloting guidelines that ya gotta master the master before you take on a bigger responsibility. But to downscale, after an accident like you have had, well, most of the accidents/deaths reported on DZ.com are all canopy related. Think about it, please be reasonable. I dont want read about you in this forum in the next year with worse consequences than what has happened at present.

I jump at Skydive Xtreme here in sunny SA and I chatted to few of the guys that were there. They said you guys flew awesomely. Hope you enjoyed SA and Zimbabwe.
