    I have a friend who is setting up WiFi for the boogie. It will be at a reasonble price and you can just use your credit card when you sign on. So they will have wireless internet available. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    I haven't done bi-planes in quite some time because of my more agressive canopies. But I seem to recall that the bottom jumper of a bi-plane had a short and seemingly abrupt drop right after the top jumper let them go. If this still happens with today's canopies then had the top guy held on for a few more seconds we never would have seen this incident. Please correct me if my memory is wrong. (my wife does it all the time) Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    See..... there you go just proving that some of you are clearly more computer talented than others (namely me). I can barely stumble around a keyboard and you cleverly link the info to a cute smiley guy. I take back most of what I was thinking about you (OK all of it). Thanks for trying to help some guy who is still using his Windows 98 computer. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    Some people are willing to help, some are not. Thanks for helping. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    ---------------------------------------------------------- Only in skydiving is it considered "not strange", actually even cool by some, for a man to wear capri pants. ------------------------------------------------------- Before they got the name Capri they were called"Pedal Pushers" Whenever you see my son wearing his, please tell him "nice pedal pushers". He so loves it when people do that. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    Can one of you more talented people post a link to that thread please? Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    OK I just don't have the time to make a career out of the search function. I've tried every combo I can think of, but can't find the post on how to remove the hand strap on a CX 100-150. I know I read it here once. Can one of you more talented people post a link to that thread please? Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    Is anyone using the CX150 in a 2K Composites FF2? If so how did you modify it? I've tried searching till my eyes are bugging out with no luck. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    How do I find a member of DZ.com I have the user's name but I have no idea how to find the profile for that person. I can't find any posts by them. I've tried the search function with no luck. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    Like flying tandem and video at the same time... What could possibly go wrong?!?! Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    Get the semi-stowless bag from UPT Vector. It gets to line stretch quicker and better, more consistant on heading openings. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    My wife says I don't listen................. At least I think that's what she said. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    If you're asking will it hold the slider well enough? The answers is Yes. Will it let the slider go in the event of a needed cutaway? Yes. I don't have the exact pull weight but they are strong enough for the first question and yet still effective in the second question. I sell them for Pablo who runs the UPT loft in Deland. They cost $25 plus shipping. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    I agree with not grabbing your risers during the opening for all the reason already mentioned. I also agree that you may not be leaving enough line after the last stow. It should be 12-18 inches. I recommend you watching this 3 part video on packing a Sabre 2: [url]YouTube - PD Sabre2 Pro Pack by Nick Grillet - Part 1 All the info is transferrable to the Sabre 1.

    I'm looking forward to going to the Independence Boogie at Chicagoland Skydiving Center. I've been invited to load organize for FS for the first weekend. I'll be there Friday, Sat and Sunday, July 2-4. I've been working on some new skydives that I hope to use while I'm there. $20.00 jumps is aweseome and it should bring out a lot of good jumpers. PD and Mirage will be there as well. There are other activities going on including during the following week. Check it out at http://www.skydivecsc.com/zone/calendar_detail.php?event_id=1409 Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    Does anyone know what Brian Germain recommends for experience for this canopy? I asked him on his web page but no response. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    Craig, correct me if I'm wrong but actually that post makes me a purveyor of truth. And I did see the dog piss in the class room just before I left the DZ. What do you think of our dog invasion? email me. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    Are you going to debate Rover because he thinks it's the shit stirring thing. Oh wait, this post makes me the shit stirrer........ TROLL!!!!!!!!!! Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.

    That's not what I thought a troll was. I think a troll is someone who hides under cover, such as the troll under the bridge. You know short with long stringy straggly hair. I had one as a kid. I had someone else tell me he thought a troll is someone who slowly lures bait in front of someone hoping they will bite. Like fishing. That's why they came up with troll motors for fishing boats. So I guess a troll is anything you want it to be. Either way it dosn't seem like this guy is a troll. Besides read any of these threads and we all seem to be stirring some shit at some point or another. So I guess were all trolls, especially the people who cry "TROLL!!!!"

    Our DZ has no rules about dogs They can and do run free and they leave land mines everywhere. We were counting last weekend and we think the number of dogs have increased by 40%. None of them belong to the DZO. It's only a matter of time before we have a prop strike. There have been two go arounds this year already due to dogs on the runway. The owners all assume that everyone loves their dog sniffing around them and leaving little surprises all over. The owners also get all bent out of shape when you don't remember who's dog is who's or their names. I caught one pissing in the class (tandem waiver) room last weekend. I've always owned dogs but I don't think I have the right to make everyone else be exposed to them. My dogs stay home. Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.
