    Hi Does the Optima2 works like a logbook? I heard it logs just a small amount of jumps, but couldn't find this info at L&B website. Thanks a lot

    Fly Curitiba

    skykank posted a dropzone in Brazil

    It is the type of jump where the person concerned does not need to have any experience in the sport, just the desire to jump. The double jump in Curitiba is performed at a height of 10,000 feet (3,330 meters), passing through a 30-second free fall at a speed of 220 km / h. After opening the parachute at 5,000 feet (1,515 meters) the flight lasts about 5 minutes until landing. A parachute camera man accompanies the whole jump, filming and photographing from the ground preparation, the exit of the plane, the free fall and also the landing. AFF Courses, Instructor Jumping, BBF Training, Wind Tunnel Training, Dogra Course, Supervision of progressing students to obtain categories.

    Hi Randy, I was looking at the backcountry pilot website about the flap gap seal , and found out that they increase the climb rate, but will affect your short takeoff capability a bit, my DZ has a long runway so no problem about that As soon as get the plane in the air I 'll post an update. Thanks a lot for now.

    Thanks for the info Martin, I'm really excited to see the performance of the PPonk with the 3 blade Mc Cauley 401 86" , I thinking in add the aileron and flaps gap seal kit and stol fences in adition to the wing X extension.

    Hi Randy: What is the elevation (above sea level) of your drop zone?? Just wondering because my plane is finishing the Pponk conversion O470-50 (275 hp with the mc cauley 401 tri blade prop) and the wing X extension , my DZ is 2300' ASL , just trying to make a guess on how much time it ll take to 10.000'. Thanks ...

    Thanks a lot for the infos, have you heard anything about the horton stol kit and the one from stene aviation ?? I might be wrong, but seems like the wingx is the most popular kit in the skydiving comunity.

    Hi: I trying to get some info here, I'm modifying my cessna 182 wide body with the 275hp PPonk conversion, and was thinking about the Wing X stol kit as well, does any plane owner can tell me about it, if the kit really makes a difference when climbing, and about the costs X benefits, does it worth paying 9.500 to buy it and install??? Thanks in advance.

    Yes , I did the same, video on top and photos on the bottom. I realized with the video on top you got an extra couple of inches further out and the images are a lot better.

    Exacly, almost all 180's and 182's have them in Brazil. I'm trying to find any owner of a c182 here in the US, who have this handle installed on the plane, so I can figure it out how to certify this modification within the FAA.

    I don't really know the name, just want to know if you need a STC or just a 337 field approval to install it. Thanks

    Hi: Just getting some info here, I searched the forum and couldnt find. Is the skylane 182 RG (retractable gear ) any good for skydiving?? I mean if you dont use the gear up of course. Thanks in advance.

    100% agree with you, total disrespect with the customers !!! I hope Alti2 comes with a solution for it !!! 2 years since this issue was experienced for the first time and no action from Alti 2 !!!

    The only way to do this if you live outside USA is using the virtualbox from Sun, because Microsoft sells the upgrade key for Win 7 only for US customers and some other countries, not for Brazil. So I will have to run virtualbox, and I have a question, can I run a virtual machine with a cracked software with a licensed software of Win7??? Thanks for the help

    Recently I bought the Paralog software to download my jumps from my Neptune 2, and couldn't get it because you need to download a device called IRCOMM2 wich does not support Win7 64bits. Paralog runs fine on Win7 but the driver that Alti 2 needs to make the connection between them just dont work with the 64bits version of Win7, so if you are thinking in buying it DONT DO IT dont waste your money !!!!
  21. skykank
    Thanks Ian, I ll run virtualbox and try it again, there are several users who are in the same boat because there's no IRCOMM2 for win7 64bits !!! Blue skies my friend
