Too small, plain and simple. That's especially true if you fly a wingsuit. For general skydiving a 28 would be about right. If you fly a wingsuit then ideally an f-111 36. Current experienced wingsuit pilots would be a good source of info. Go ask or search the wingsuit forum this same question. Good luck My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Would you install non-original equipment on a rig?
hookitt replied to PhreeZone's topic in Gear and Rigging
One question. Why not? I'd have no issue using main risers, pilot chutes, d-bags from other manufacturers if I deemed them airworthy in proper function and fit. Keep in mind I also modify OEM parts if I feel the function or fit is not correct or could be better. I don't mess with reserve components.

Does that increase or decrease pressure in anyway? How would it change the answer? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -

When you put your lips to the surface of a fresh water mountain stream to take a thirst quenching drink of cool clear water, would you say that you lowered the pressure inside your mouth and the greater external pressure pushed the cool clear thirst quenching water into your mouth?

You read to many threads then.

Don't know, but I doubt it contains a controlled substance. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

In that case... Flush that as soon as possible. Wait, don't flush it, that could be bad. Triple bag it then seal it in tupperware. Seal that in a capped PVC tube. Encase it in cement. Place the entire package in a 55 gallon barrel used for toxic waste and bury it Nevada. Don't let anyone know.

Just taste it already! I finally looked at the picture. Look ==>here. See the baggie in the picture. If it were that size I'd believe it's coke. I don't believe it contains any drugs. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Someone probably thought they tossed it back into their own case after doing a line. Since it's probably cocaine, nobody is going to fess up My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

You did leave the the lines on the links right? Tie the links together From the riser side. Grab all the lines and twist a loop into it, put your hand through the loop and grab all the lines and pull some through the loop. If it doesn't create a new loop, start over but put your hand through the other side of the first loop.... Put your hand through the new loop and grab all the lines pulling some through. Put your hand through the new loop.... etc. Pull some canopy material or slider through the last loop and pull tight. If you're ever crocheted, it's like a simple single crochet stitch. Like this with out the crochet hook Even better ==>Daisy Chain My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Snapped both my Brake lines!

Bag Strip: Bag is pulled off the canopy before line stretch. Line dump: Suspension lines fall out of the stows prior to line stretch. Bag strip can only happen if all the lines in the locking stows fall out. -

Honestly, I would have expected at least some delay. The length of delay would vary depending on the company. Skydiving industry is not built on the same business structure as the corporate world. You can complain about it but it really won't do much good. Additionally, if they have other contracts for military, yours may be pushed back. If the manufacturing facility is on the small side, it may take a loss of only one worker to slow production. Sometimes the lead time is accurate and sometimes it's not but it's usually fairly close. A double delay is annoying but I've grown used to it. I received my current rig in a timely manner so I was pleasantly surprised.

In my opinion: 5 1/2 to 6 second delay using a 38 inch pilot chute. Additionally, yes, a 7 is technically doable but you will be in the basement. Good luck My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Nice picture. If I didn't know how much lift you get from that launch sight, I'd think you were about to hammer in . Hopefully I'll be out there again sometime this week. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Skyball (or something close to it)
hookitt replied to Cashmanimal's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Luckily I'm pretty sure I haven't grilled either of you. My suggestions about the ball are based upon one video showing a most definite problem. My suggestions are legitimate. Let go, fly with the ball. Learn to retake the ball and put it back in the air. The ball didn't look all that fast. I've flown with BB filled balls and they are on the slower side. The video clearly shows a ball that is tossed before reaching terminal. It has less surface area and will speed up to its terminal velocity much quicker than a human especially one that presents the whole front of the body. Had the ball been released rather than throwing it, they may have stayed with it. Releasing it a few seconds later would have been more appropriate for testing the speed.

Is "My bad" a proper sentence? Ah... no it isn't! A grammatically incorrect way of acknowledging (facetiously) a wrongdoing. Source I don't actually care if or how you got banned. Some reason felt like pointing out that fuck you is not arguing. You may now carry out the rest of the day in peace and harmony.
