  1. Looks like 3 different condos are in her name (rental properties?), don't know her husbands name. Just put Gibbs in the name search: http://www.appraiser.pascogov.com/ People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  2. Very good. Her neighbors may be the best weapon to push her to get back to the level of quiet skies they enjoy now. It would be great to know that a fly-over-thon will happen. 7468 Mt. Sherman Road, 80503. A plane pulling a banner would be great, or a skywriter!

  3. Where is the address located on that page? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  4. Better for it to be from non-skydiving planes, not based at that local airport, from all around the area, making low passes over her house over and over again, even late at night. The message would be, back off or you'll wish for the quiet skies you used to have. Her neighbors would also be pushing for her to stop making trouble.

  5. At least everyone that flies an airplane in the area should be doing low (legal) flights over her house. Especially those that are really loud.

  6. Maybe they should be flying over her house on purpose (accidentally of course). It might cause her head to explode, problem solved.

  7. Having a soft opening does not prevent doing hop 'n pops. The altitude lost during a typical hop 'n pop opening is not much even with a typically slow opening. The spectre is a decent choice for beginners - nice openings and landings, but is not known for a flat glide compared to the pulse, silhouette, safire, pilot and some others. I jump a Pilot at a light WL and think it should be on the short list of canopies to consider. There are many canopies that at such a WL will serve you very well, so don't get too worried about choosing a bad model. Excellent decision. Don't let others try to convince you that you'll quickly be bored. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  8. Thanks for posting the video. I thought many other mfg PCs were tested, please confirm. Was the area of the PCs measured while inflated? How much variation in drag force was observed due to the high frequency oscillations?

  9. At that time of year! I don't think so. edit - Chicago weather not so reliable that time of year. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  10. I lost the inside cover position to a different ad, but I'm still in this month's issue, the exit shot out of the Caribou! ...a continuation of the it's all about me thread.

  11. What leads you to that conclusion? Really, I'm just asking where that came from. ----- Great video. I'll show that to some of my friends who are downsizing a bit too soon, but there's nothing I can do about it. Just seems as though freeflyers have a reputation (don't know if it is well deserved or not) for not being good at tracking - that they often don't jump in big groups, and use high vertical speed to get horiz throw for separation instead of good technique. I did not mean to cast that at the jumpers in question specifically, and wouldn't have made the remark if they had a worse outcome.

  15. Cool, but I thought you meant that it would be a tight fit (instead of a normal fit) for a normal (not hybrid or ZPX) 170. As I explained, starting out with a tight fit as a newbie can be bad. I have jumped an Infinity or its ancient predecessors since 1988. Do you think you'll be bored with a 1.2 (170 main) or almost 1.4 (150 main) WL? You should not have a 1.4 WL for your reserve - anyone telling you that is "fine" is not serving you well. Anyway, good luck, new gear is a blast and the Infinity rocks!

  16. Getting a container that you know will be a tight fit for your main can be troublesome. It might be a bit worse than tight - it might be a real struggle - not at all pleasant, even for experienced packers. It might encourage some bad fixes to the problem, such as an overly long closing loop that can cause problems, or it might encourage downsizing before you should do it, or it might cause expensive and dangerous damage to your container. Your container is also more likely to look awful, and you don't want to spend all that money and have it look wrong every time you see it. Comfort is also somewhat dependent on not being packed like a brick. You really should have your first container made to fit your particular 190, whether it be a ZPX Pilot or Pulse - just tell them what exact canopy you will use and let them decide what is the best size.

  18. Your description sounds more like what is called a surge, not a stall. Letting up too quickly on the brakes causes a canopy to surge forward very quickly and it will feel like it suddenly drops very quickly. It is different than a stall, but either can kill you without sufficient altitude remaining. If you let up on the brakes a bit more slowly, the surge is not as severe, and some jumpers including tandem instructors will use that controlled surge to induce extra airspeed to get a more powerful flare. Even on a 200 at .93 WL, you should be able to sink it in at deep brakes with an acceptable rate of descent (PLF required). The knowledge that it is possible along with the skill to do it might be needed to avoid obstacles in an off landing.

  19. not so much competitive, their online price for a Cookie G2/G3 is absurdly more expensive than anyone else. Their price for the Cookie is really high, but their price for containers and canopies seems competitive.

  20. Square 1 prices may not be the lowest, but they are definitely competitive. I've read that they used to allow those that were waiting on a rig they've ordered to use a rental for free (local jumpers at the DZ). That is a huge benefit, given that their prices are competitive to begin with.

  21. Maybe if a plane doesn't actually have "seats" then it doesn't matter? I know it is a long shot, but maybe.

  22. How high do you think he was when he was open? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  23. Quite right! If it was a year away from approval, they should be marketing it about now. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  24. The jumper making that assertion doesn't necessarily make it true. Like I said, you're free to hold onto that idea for as long as you like, despite whatever evidence to the contrary. _Am What is the evidence to the contrary? The reserve deployment was very impressive. A good deal of the credit is due to the very fast inflation of the reserve after it left the bag. Is there more info about the altitude?
