    Parachutes, packing and jumps

    Hello All !
    My name is Paul, I am new here. I would be very happy to discuss about parachute equipment, manuals, R.Z. packing methods and jumps. I am ex SF soldier and parachute instructor (2000 jumps plus). I collect parachutes and I run SF Parachute Club now. I would be happy to know who else collects parachutes and who jumps/jumped ? I hope a few of you could review my pdf book about R.Z.16 & R.Z.20 packing. R.Z. series packing is very tricky and many people make a lot of mistakes. I was studying original German manual for a long time and with a help of friends from USA, Germany and Poland I made a new version with over 150 pictures. We tested proper method on my R.Z.20 using my P.W.T.
    I invite those of you who know how to pack and are interested in R.Z. parachutes to review my new manual. I would like to find if I made mistakes.
    Who can help ?
    Paul

    Welcome to the forum Paul. I received your messages and would be glad to help if I can. There are some pretty knowledgeable guys here who should be able to help more than I can, so let's hope they step up.

        Thank you for a few private emails I received from WAF members regarding manual.
        I hope you will enjoy some close up photos of the R.Z.20

          Hi Paul. Where is your club based? I am a member of Pathfinder UK. We jump on all of the British commemorative events in Europe. We are based in Teuge in the Netherlands

            I know my friend, I am the head of the Polish section of Pathfinder.
            In 2014 we jumped to Driel as the official Special Forces delegation, this is my video :

            Are you interested in German parachutes ? I would like to discuss with collectors and reenactors who own German parachutes.

              Small world. You three Polish lads were in the first stick, I was in the second. One of your lads grabbed my canopy on landing

                YES IT IS !
                Write me your email. I will send you the manual of R.Z.16 and 20, my current version with 150 pictures. You will be surprised how people packed chutes, very different to Type X or current MC1, SF10 etc.
