- I just took the student class several months ago at
- Marana Skydiving Center at Avra Valley airport. The
- owners name is Tony. You might call for specifics.
-
- The setup they use out there worked very well. They
- used a Motorola receiver (used, probably $125-150),
- attached the altimeter to the top of the reciever, then
- attached the reciever to the chest strap on the rig.
-
- Radios were checked as part of the pin/rig check.
-
- Worked great, "Jumper #1 left 180, Jumper #2 right 90,
- ready set flair, etc....."
-
- Interesting, I remember being scared to death, on my first
- jump and now I need to go daily.....
-
- Hope that helps.
