What do you do with the strap?I looked inside to see what was involved and then took a pair of sissors to it. 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 too was at Eloy at Christmas,and when the college kids had the alternate landing area I made half of my landings in the desert and hoofed it back.I lost a friend at Lake Wales in November,due to a hook turn gone bad.It would be nice to know what part of the ocean the sharks are in before you go swimming.

"Frankly I don't give a dang. If I below you I have the right away " Maybe according to the rules.But people hooking you out of the air aren't playing by the rules.

I'm beginning to believe the only way to keep people from being "hooked out of the air" is by designating specific areas for these type landings.These areas should be as close as possible to the hanger/packing area for maximum exposure to spectators, as well as being close to the road for the EMS people, for the occasional misjudged landing or 200 jump wonder looking to impress the world with their new little canopy. They should be well marked, and well enforced. It isn't working with the current system.

Then I would have made a post asking Which canopy opens nicer Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

From the Atair web site. "Cobalts open best in a forward track. Generally the slower you go, the faster a Cobalt will open. Deploying in a track keeps your vertical speed at optimum for a slow 2-stage opening." Havn't had a chance to hop and pop my cobalt 150 yet,anybody have experience doing it?

Was at Skydance in Ca last year to do High Altitude jumps and Two Brits did a static line jump from 30,000 on rounds.If you want to do anything high thats the place.

-
Height perception illusion:Areas of limited contrast or areas without visual cues such as snow fields,sand or water make it difficult to determine your altitude. Fixation:Staring or concentrating on an object...you may become fixated on it and fly into it......Using a good scan will prevent this.

If I can get the wide chest strap,I think I'll go with the rings. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
-
Is there any disadvantage to not getting the chest rings?Don't really like the reserve cable attachment and the thinner chest strap.Have only dabbled with freeflying a little but plan on doing it a lot more in the future.

Personally I think a sabre 150 is to small for a 100 jump jumper @ 170 lbs. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.
