Difference between freefly and bellyflying container?
hookitt replied to motion's topic in Gear and Rigging
Thanks you beat me to it. *shouldn't* is the key word there. The Javelin in question, is 9 years old and was not built to the tighter standards of today. Don't take that wrong, the 9 year old Jav's were still kick ass. But back then it was common knowledge that you only could reach speeds of "Up To 200 MPH" in a head down. (that was said just for nostalgia) Other than belly to earth positions, weren't a consideration when that rig was originally made. but look at how close they got the first try! Countless videos show the riser flaps and main pin cover flap open even on properly matched parachute and containers. edit: spelling My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

There have been cypres test, where the aircraft flew level at 4000 ft to fool the cypres. Yes it can be done. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Simple answer... yes it's bad. Can it be done? Probably. You happen to be near a very famous faultline, so I doubt that it's as level as you think. Besides, what would you save by setting it in in the Van? Stick with the routine of setting back at the Airport. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

paid pack job chop, lost main
hookitt replied to bodypilot90's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Ok.. opened my self up on that one. The people I have pack for me, pack very well. I have watched them pack many times. I'm confident in their work. However every single part of a parchute moves. Very seldom do I get Janky openings when I pack for my self. But for some reason, even after watching the packer, put together what appears to be a nice orderly pack job, it opens off heading, weird hard, what ever. Basically it's fine. I see no reason to bring it up when for one, they are doing me a favor. Two, it's unusual for their packjobs to open funky. I do bring it up if the only thing that's consistant is f***ed up openings. If they are need assistance, I give it. If I see someone struggling, I help them so they don't have to struggle as much. I suppose that sounded like I turn a blinds eye but that's not the case. A very large portion of my time at the DZ is spent teaching and helping others.This includes Proper gear checks, packing techniques, lots of miscellaneous stuff, and the fun part... DUN dun DUUUUNNNNNNNnn...Skydiving. Packers work hard. Harder than most people would ever dream of. If they pack poorly, I feel it's important to assure that doesn't happen much longer. A janky opening now and then? I'm ok with that. Perhaps one day I'll learn to take my time posting Edit: Packers deserve much appreciation. Quite often there is none. I'm not a regular customer, so if a paid packer tosses my parachute into the mix so I can make a load AND go eat lunch or debrief or just go drink a beer at the end of the day, by all means.. They deserve something extra although none expect it. Cheers My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -

I'll pipe in here a bit late. After 10's of 1000's of pack jobs I completely understand tipping a packer. I always tip my packers if I use em. But that's me. If I decide to, generally they do me a favor. I also ask them to tell me if They have time because I'm just being lazy and i'll do it myself. VERY VERY seldom do I complain if it opens funky. I've yet to cutaway my own pack job but that's besides the point. If you lose the main, you buy a new one.

Difference between freefly and bellyflying container?
hookitt replied to motion's topic in Gear and Rigging
Sounds like it' might just be fine. Has a bridle cover been added to the bottom of the container? I have to add that Lots of Freestyle moves (flips and spinny things) and Sit flying is Much better than Flying on your head for the time being. (i'm too tired to go into why) 9 years ago, the Tuck Flaps were made much different than they are today. People have been known to put Bath Tub Grip Tape on the Tuck flaps of the Riser covers and the Main pin cover flap. Naturally I can't officially recommend that. :) My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -

When I first started Packing My instructor left his Chest Mount Altimeter in his parachute and I packed in there. I just thought I packed a football since I was new to packing. It come out on opening he was not impressed. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
