Who has the best $ for new AAD?
sundevil777 replied to dubbayab's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
To save money, you might consider one that needs the service to be done (at appropriate cost, of course). You pay SSK directly for the service, seller ships it to Ohio. SSK should owe you the report of the unit's health. Anyway, it will leave in good condition - repair/replace/adjust whatever is needed. You then get a unit with no doubts. Don't buy it until you get the OK from SSK, so that if it got wet you wouldn't have a worthless unit, they won't fix that sort of stuff within the cost of the 4/8 year service. Your risk is only that service cost. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Rick Horn's very interesting incident is worth another look: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=596086;search_string=rick%20horn;#596086 People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Here's one I got for my Infinity to replace the regular D-handle. Any mfg should be able to do the same. It works great and sticks out from the harness about 1/2 as much. The handle was not yet installed (cable not going into housing) at the time of the pic. edit - I like this shape a lot more than other triangular alternatives I have seen. Some have said that it was common on Racers of old. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

What's causing pilot chutes in tow?
sundevil777 replied to JohnMitchell's topic in Safety and Training
I also like to watch the bag lift off my back, it is nice to know right away whether that part of the sequence has gone right. I don't worry about my shoulders being uneven before I turn my head back again, but I jump a relatively docile canopy.

Ok, I generalized at the end of my post to say that Muslims are guilty of it extreme intolerance. For that lack of qualification I apologize. However, I do hold to my assertion that Islamic extremism is in fact quite mainstream. Arabs promised to destroy Israel before it was even created. Talk about preemption?

Same-Sex Marriage Amendment Fails in House
sundevil777 replied to narcimund's topic in Speakers Corner
So, at the risk of changing the 'real' question: Why should polygamy be illegal? Why should mariage between your father and brother be illegal? I will go so far as to say that even if it was not illegal, most would admit to finding it objectionable. And on and on... If the authors of the constitution had intended to prevent that, they could have made it much clearer than you claim. What president from what political party was it that signed the defense of marriage act? Oh, right, it was Clinton.

sundevil777 replied to narcimund's topic in Speakers Corner
Yes, you certainly are irritated, and intolerant. Remember it was Clinton that signed the Defense of Marriage Act. Was he a 'Fundie'? So how do you feel about the possible relationships I have suggested that don't intrude on other's?

Same-Sex Marriage Amendment Fails in House
sundevil777 replied to narcimund's topic in Speakers Corner
Given that so many states have passed same-sex marriage bans, not just religious fundies (a little intolerant are we?) care about it.

From Markus Herzig's Pilatus Porter History page. See attached interesting photo of Bruno Gouvy exiting the Turbo Mingo over Chambrey, I believe, wearing a weighted nosecone on his way to a top maximum speed of 335 mph! I love Porters with that kind of huge step (I like to call it a porch) - way down from the door. They are so easy to launch from at the low speed of a porter.

Any of the harness mfgs should be able to make you a rig that fits well (although Voodoos don't go that big, I believe). You really aren't so big, not so unusual.

I've read of many that have lost it from the factory supplied bracket by a riser slap, as did the author of the original post. Because of that, I never considered using it.

I think there is a HUGE difference between a Christian mission and what is being discussed in the article. It doesn't matter if you WANT to give up "Bud and Jesus" (by the way, I think that comment shows that you have little respect for Christians-or at least southern Christians), they want to do it by force. Christians were guilty of extreme intolerance hundreds of years ago. Muslims are guilty of it NOW.

Good Luck to them? I say death to them. Where is the outrage from so called 'moderate' Muslims? I have posted before saying that the term Islamic "extremists" no longer applies. They are mainstream. It is a real war. Diplomacy and sweet talking won't settle things. The only way to win is by the application of violence until their leadership preaches peace.

Same-Sex Marriage Amendment Fails in House
sundevil777 replied to narcimund's topic in Speakers Corner
So, even if you reject the analogy, do you have a problem with the other possibilities or not? Who would be hurt? Did you have a problem with Woody Allen and his adopted daughter. Many/most people did, but at least she was adopted. Just calling something a fallacy does not make it so. If one should not reject same-sex marriage because there is no harm, then what about my comparisons. I don't see anyone willing to accept these.

Same-Sex Marriage Amendment Fails in House
sundevil777 replied to narcimund's topic in Speakers Corner
When same-sex marriage is argued to be OK because it doesn't involve others, then I think my point is completely valid. The other 'marriage' arrangements would be the same. You might as well say, "all analogies are fallacies". Fallacy tutorials are vastly overrated.

Same-Sex Marriage Amendment Fails in House
sundevil777 replied to narcimund's topic in Speakers Corner
I will add something after all, something I have mentioned before in similar threads, but doesn't seem to get any response: When the general public is ready to accept father-daughter, mother-daughter, father-son, brother-sister etc. marriages, then the general public will be ready to accept same sex marriage. How 'bout it, does the prospect of this bother you? Why should it, you wouldn't be hurt?

Of course, the bracket is a lousy design. No mention of that in my owner's manual. Maybe with newer units, not mine. Then L&B should specifically advise us to not put it on the outside.

When the general public is ready to accept polygamy, they will be ready to accept same-sex marriage.

why no US C130? or C141 or C17??
sundevil777 replied to Praetorian's topic in General Skydiving Discussions

Should you wait between cut-away and reserve ?
sundevil777 replied to lintern's topic in Safety and Training
No, you are quite wrong to be so confident in that statement. The chance for a 2 out situation or entanglement must be balanced against the chance for the departing main to snag the reserve. It is not a settled issue on which is best. Please read; http://www.performancedesigns.com/docs/dualsq.pdf and this is a decent thread dealing thoughtfully with the subject (of course my posts are the most thoughtfull : http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=598018;search_string=army;#598018 People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
