Hello Everyone. I am conducting a speech at school, and I would like to get some data on my fellow skydivers. This would be involing canopy control. I have made a survey at the following link. If you have 2 mins, could you please answer the 8 questions there. http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=227221 Thank you in advance. Sam the Weatherman Let go of the NUT!!

Look at page 90 in October's Parachutist. Top Left corner American Sykdiving systems. Custom Javilns in about 8 weeks. I ordered mine from him last year and he has great deals and service. Sam Let go of the NUT!!

Cypres does have AADs for rent while you are getting your 4 year check done. Call them for more info. Let go of the NUT!!

Well where is the picture of this beautiful rig??? Let's see it. Sam Let go of the NUT!!

I have a J3, with a Spectre 170 and a PD 160 R. Before I ordered my Odyssey I sent Aggie a e-mail and told him the sizes of my canopies and a J3 is what he suggested. Everything fits good and looks good too. Sam Let go of the NUT!!

0.9:1 to 1:1 depending on how big of a lunch I ate. I have just under 50 jumps. -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

3:4:1 3 jumps on Thursday

If you would mind, Would you mind posting John LeBlanc's response to your question. -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

You would have to pay me to take it. Let go of the NUT!!

Ron, But what is there to keep skydivers from keeping their current canopy loaded @ 1:1 for 500 jumps and then go to to a w/l of 2:1?? -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

http://www.sportrx.com but the website seems to be down. -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

I am not sure of the jump to fatality number but the total number is as follows: -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

Just so everyone knows in 2001: 10 deaths due to low turns or high perf. turn 5 low turn jump numbers and wingloading: 39 1.16 70 1.21 300 1.02 4000 unknown 170 1.48 5 high performance landings jump #'s and w/l: 4500 2.0 1000 1.53 4000 unknown - dropped a toggle 600 1.49 2400 1.63 2002 there were 14 deaths dues to canopy control. USPA did not put the wingloading for the deaths in 2002. These numbers are based off of the power point presentation for Saftey Day. If anyone wants it I can e-mail it to them. Just PM me. -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

Good point Bill. Now this is starting to make sense. If you pass the course then you don't have a restriction. But I also think once you get a D license your at a skill level to make your own choice about wingloading. -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

Yea Kevin, the page turned out to be great. Let go of the NUT!!

Call your container manufacturer. I just got mine put on today. -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

This is my very first container and I love it. On the ground, in the plane, in the air, and under canopy it is extremely comfortable. I can not say that I will ever buy anything else. There is such a large selection of different fabrics and colors to choose from. Even thpough the production time was a whopping 16 weeks it was well worth the wait. You can't go wrong with this rig.

Now thats a good picture.

You can get some from the rig manufacturer http://www.relativeworkshop.com/. As for the slider give the canopy company a call. -Sam- Let go of the NUT!!

Look here ==> Ace Brand Silicon Lubricant Funny, Hooknswoop were just talking about that 2 days ago. Thanks Let go of the NUT!!
