    Before everybody get in a frenzy about this,I just want to quanify this Firsts of all if there is any thoughts that this will be a half baked unsafe thing,forget it. If you don't have any bigway experience forget it.You can have some cake. I'm PMing back and forth with bbarnhouse to try to coordinate this. Just trying to make it a more special Bday. Thanks bb I appreciate your help. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

    Looking to put a 50 way together for my fiancee's 50th birthday on December 27th.She has 340 jumps and no formations bigger than a 10 way.She is terrified of screwing up and will rarely go bigger than a 4 way. In order to make it as low pressure as possible for her, here is the help I need. 1. Organizer,somebody that has experience putting together big way formation loads. 2. Two AFF instructors to be in the base with her. 3.A couple of experienced video flyers. 4.A bunch of experienced skydivers to fill the load. Plan is to take off a 3 way base and build it from there.Deb will pull out of the base to signal breakoff.That way for her its a 3 way and just pulling high.What do you say .comers can you help me out? I'll provide the jump tickets. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

    The altitude chamber training took up a whole day.The jump training and jump itself takes two days.Some class room stuff with the gear,then a couple of practice jumps with the equipment and then the jump.

    Watching a bigway at Rantoul,noticed a reserve out.Grabbed a beer and the golf cart and went to get him. He was baglocked with one of those Use to use them myself.Last a long time.Then somebody convinced me to use something that would break rather than lock.

    One of the things I like about the 22 is you can capture stills from tape during playback.Just press the still picture button.Quality isn't that great but you can get anything thats on the tape.Right now I'm experimenting with a small "spy" camera lens ,thru the analog input jack,mounted on goggles.Colors aren't as true,but for fun/training jumps, I do not think there is safer way to video.

    Just thought it was a bogus way to indicate a quantity. I mean if they said 60 million of smuggled beer I would have an idea what they were talking about. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

    If your just doing it for fun and training and not for profit the quality I get from this is great. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

    I don't use the other jump types,but I think they are there so you can have different altitude warning set points with out reprogramming the altitudes. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

    A line over on your reserve and you would be "ill prepared". Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

    They open the doors about two miles prior.You straddle bomb bay opening on the metal framing.You can sort of see it in the pic of the aircraft as I'm falling away.Look in the right hand side of the bomb bay. We got 6500 for altitude. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
