    I hope you understand that some of these he's are she's.......

    it's a federal offense for a federally licensed person, aka, rigger, to be involved with marijuana. Ask the FAA.....

    senior rigger, back, commercial pilot, single/multi engine/instrument airplane, mechanic airframe/powerplant, flight engineer/turbojet, ground instructor/advanced/instrument, camera person, tandem instructor, (strong, vector/sigma) static line instructor, and current in all of the above, oh by the way, BASE # 536. Now, do you really think dope is involved in any of the above, I know it's not with me, or do you all really think that the FAA never looks here, how stupid you all must be, especially the ones with FAA "Certificates".

    I guess it means nothing to the skydiving community, which I am part of, that smoking pot, and being a federally licensed individual, whether it be a pilot, rigger, or A&P, that one chooses to violate federal regulations and smoke dope and fly airplanes, fix airplanes and fix or pack parachutes to put it in simple terms for simple minds. Wow, I choose to not be part of that. BASE # 536 Not to mention the tandem dudes and dudettes, who are also federally attached by their FAA Medical Certificates.

    I believe the "Cypres" has stopped the gene pool from properly depleting itself, I know who you are talking about. BASE # 536

    42" PC From 300'?

    Perche61 replied to Zennie's topic in Archive

    42 will be fine, take a second delay or if you have the gonads, take two, and all will be fine if you pack properly, as most of my jumps are from this sort of altititudeless.....if you know what I mean... Base # 536 Refer to Vertigo's alti-dist chart and it will be no prob...I have the chart if you need it....

    BASE alone...?

    Perche61 replied to Joris's topic in Archive

    Yes they were very close together and no higher than 360 feet, fun stuff, and BASE jumping started way before cell phones were invented, Yes I have been hurt by myself and got home by myself. Not smart but I did make it home.

    #1 I held the high school pole vaulting record for ten years after I graduated high school. #2 I've been teaching myself to play guitar for 15 years and finally figured out I need a new instructor.

    What a beautiful short freefall that would be, I stood at the base of them, but way too much MP action, oh well.......not yet anyway.

    BASE alone...?

    Perche61 replied to Joris's topic in Archive

    75 percent of my base jumps have been alone, no cell phone, no one knew I was going, usually snuck out of my own house at two in the morning with other base jumpers there, because I like it that way and I like the very low ones. I have just came back from a trip if you want to call it that, where I did my three fav spots in about 3 hours time, the hightest being 360 and the lowest being 240ish. ya, hooray for all of us......

    Ok, I'll tell ya, as much as Phil hates me, because I left on a two weeks notice, and I promise you, there is much more than that, he still puts a picture on his front page web site that I took from the pilot's seat of the Cessna 182. I guess that's just a little poke at him after all the BS he posted here when I left Skydive San Marcos.
  14. Perche61
    Well then I guess a jump from a cliff from 120 feet at night just doesn't count to be in your club, I'm sure your's was a static line, and well to be quite honest mine was a direct bag deployment with about 3 seconds of canopy ride....wooo weeee!!!!! And I'm sure that Hornet 170 is a really hot canopy, and I also have more BASE jumps than you have skydives if your profile is correct......wooo weeee!!!! Anything else we need to know?
  15. Perche61
    Isn't it funny that Kevin Mitchell is posted on the front page of Skydive San Marcos, and Ken Daidone took the picture from the pilot seat of the Cessna 182? Wow, Phil must really hate me or Kevin must have really BS'd him or her.........or something......

    hmmmmm.........

    I have cut two coffee can holes in my sail slider which seems to be the same as a mesh slider, and used it at bridge day, and it works very well. Base #536

    I was always taught that Pointer's manuals are considered by the FAA to be "Gospel", if you will, in the absence of the actual manufacturer's manual. There is no absence of a PD manual. If anyone here has a question if the finger tight plus 1/2 or 1/4 turn is the correct way or the Performance Designs Manual which calls for the correct torque which "they" (Performance Designs) mandate, then maybe Performance Designs should actually set us all straight. I myself think it should be an FAA certified torque wrench using a crows foot attachment, then again that's just me. Ask PD how they expect us, in the field, to properly torque their french links.
  19. Perche61
    This is copied from the PD reserve manual, page 31: Immediately tighten finger tight and torque to 20 inch/lbs. To accurately gauge this, place a 5 lb weight on a wrench, 6 inches from the link. When the wrench is hrizontal and the barrel no longer turns, the link is fully tightened. Do not tighten more than 30 inch/lbs. There is no mention of the weight required to exceed 30 inch/lbs, actually the FAA which riggers are licensed by and are required by law to abide by, require torquing to be done by a torque wrench that is calibrated by an FAA certified or recognized lab within the last year. How many riggers have a calibrated torque wrench capable to accurately torque 20 inch/lbs that has been certified by the FAA within the last 365 days?

    Sure you can, it's your choice.....
  22. Perche61
    who'd you make the other two jumps with?
  23. Perche61
    You mean like the other screaming passengers in the "plane"

    I can't believe a good Christian girl would put something so personal between two people on a public forum.....I'm appalled, to say the least, I have more to say but not in the public eye.....

    Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be pilot's he he, just kidding of course.
