Help me here Bill. The canopy flies due to "relative wind" creating positive pressure in the cells and to some point creating a "lift factor". It makes no difference which direction the wind is blowing if it is constant. Only the ground speed is effected. However, in turbulent wind conditions the "sudden" decrease in the velocity of the "relative wind" can and will cause the canopy to deflate and/or stall. The canopy does in fact know what the wind is doing in relation to the airfoil. It does not know what the ground speed is doing. Relative wind and effective wind. I believe you are a pilot Bill, think turns around a point or figure 8's. Constant airspeed, varying ground speed. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Give Rob a call at Skydive U. We have video tapes you can purchase. Great stuff. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Don, I'm up in Billings MO. Jump and work at Freefall Express. I have two PC's of my own but, what repairs are you needing. If it's a patch, take it to Pete Morris. If it's crown line mod or something more involved let me know. Blues, J. E. James 4:8

Kramer, Know that if Trudy is a Christian she is far better off than we are here today. I will pray that she is, and will pray more so for her family. Blues and Blessings, J.E. James 4:8

Guys, The men in black at raeford have been using this type of slider stow for a while. Call up Skymonkey1 or Skymonkey2 for details. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Chuck, Right on Bro! The other side of this problem concerns advise from inexperienced "teachers" and some instructors/dzo's who believe they have a better method. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Bill, Genius knows it limitations, stupidity simply abounds. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

I'm not going to use one......... But I will remain a "moving target"!!!!!! James 4:8

chris, When did you get you SLI?? James 4:8

FWIW, I don't even work as an aerospace engineer, I'm current working on a shoulder mounted missile system for a major defense contractor. If you think you might be using this system when it hits the field, let me know, and I'll warn you so you can stay away from it and protect yourself. Can I say..............I'm sorry????????? Or should I just DUCK!!!!!! Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Please call the manufacturer and ask the same question. However, #1 for me. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

If you are an aerospace engineer and had to ask this question, I have one for you. What are you working on during the day? If it's an airplane please tell me what type, please. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Okay......................... James 4:8

Down here in Missouri we use "dry water". It's much nicer on the gear and will not mess up your hair. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Go ask Mark and Gary........ Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Paco, If that's you call me. You know who I'm talking about. Want a hint? Got your cloths on? Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Many of us do. The question is how many tandem instructors and dzo's allow a cameraman who is not qualified? I know of a couple RW tandem examiner/dzo's who will take anyone with a camera helmet when it is a paying customer and they take a big cut out of the video charges. Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Derek, People will argue the finer points such as loading v.s. license until the day they die. Great start though. The only argument you will receive from me is concerning the CI. All Instructors should be "CI's". Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Michele, I love you two. I just would not kiss that mouth with all that filthy language coming out of it! Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Tonto, You in heap big trouble injun................ I started flying in 1972 jumping in 1979. I've broken my left elbow, had both knees operated on, broken my nose, broke my left wrist, pulled my groin twice, pulled my hamstring twice, and have scars on both knees from dragging over the ground. But, that was playing softball!!! Not until this year when I broke my right wrist in Dallas have I been injuned, I mean injured........... Never injured or had any type of accident in an airplane. The reason you don't want most pilots to jump is that they will find out just how much fun we're really having!!! Blues, J.E. James 4:8

Guys and Gals, Please cross over to trivia and sign up under "suspensions" to support Bill. All it takes is an e-mail. Blues, J.E> James 4:8
-
Come on, Spit that out, I meant, stop that. My E-mail is on the way. Please post here when you e-mail so we can keep some sort of general count. THEN we should find some one who's computer smart (not myself) and can set up a web page to post our electronic signatures on. Come on boys and girls, It's time!!!!! Blues, J.E. James 4:8
-
I know there are hundreds of you out there who agree. Come on. Stand up and be counted. It's time for a bit pat on the back for Derek! Blues, J.E. James 4:8

As most have indicated. For $200 you may have expected too much. Send it back and take the refund. If Kolla vouches for Eddie, he's good for it. Blues, J.E. James 4:8
