  1. Jumping out of an aircraft with a base rig? Tell me more..................... Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  2. Now there's an idea. honesty. Truth is, numbers do equate to experience but not necessarily knowledge. Hang around and you'll see the changes that occur due to deaths. Fact is this is all meaningless. None of this could be enforced, even if every post on the thread were the absolute truth and not just some experts opinion. That's a funny thing about people. Death is black or white. Opinions are simply shades of gray while experience is something you gain right after you needed it. If you survive. Blues, Be safe. J.E. James 4:8
  3. Experience........................ James 4:8
  4. Oh sure.............. You're the brains, we're the brawn..................... LOL Thanks for the call. Enjoyed. Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  5. Boy that sounds like a new V/STM!!!!! Hey Dave, you getting a commission from RWS????? Where's mine?????????? LOL (but agreeing!) Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  6. Bet's on. You hit the point as the only person who can "ground" you is the DZO. An S&TA can tell you all day long your grounded and unless the DZO says "yes you are grounded", nothing will happen. You did miss the point , an S&TA has NO authority through the USPA or FAA to ground anyone. Blues, J.E. PS You're grounded................... James 4:8
  7. Got to agree with Bill. After several years of taking them off, putting them on, taking them off, putting them on, both of my rigs now have them back on. All the arguments of cameras (why I took them off) etc. just don't seem as critical with the gear we have these days. Hey, NSTIW, cute picture...... Blonde????? Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  8. Hey bull spreader (ooops!!!) FRM baby, FRM!!!!! Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  9. Bill, I've asked this question before and you did not answer so I'll try again. Where does it state in the FAR's, (in as much that BSR's and SIM's cannot be enforced anyway without the BOD doing it, and at that they can only revoke any license, rating, or membership you may hold.) that an S&TA can ground anyone! I like what you are attempting to do but man, you are pushing the rope against a 500# gorilla. The difference is the gorilla has teeth. The BSR's and SIM don't! How many posts on this subject are you going to birth? You've got one of those "green names", kill it. Make it a petition, have all the experts sign it, and take it to the BOD. Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  10. Hook, I use the same inserts provided by Sunpath. I tack the upper end of the insert into the channel to prevent any movement. After a period of time the inserts take a set and would be more difficult to align with the loop. It seems very "odd" that both inserts would/could find their way down and through the loops as shown. Did you simulate this problem or find it on the rig? Interesting. Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  11. DJan, You sure married a smart guy.............. Carry on Skratch, I'm with ya. Blues, J.E. Hook, Please explain how a 100SF canopy at 1:1 out performs any other canopy of the same planform at 1:1. Wing loading equals speed, Performance is relative to the planform and your perception. Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  12. Not Criticizing. Just a thought. Like most DZ's the beer line seems to mean, "land as close to it as you can". It's kind of like playing in the road, you will see a car sooner or later. Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  13. Ditto 24's note. PM you. Blues, J.E. James 4:8
  14. Wayne, Post a video. Without seeing, all else is speculation. Some real good advise but still guessing without eyeballs on you. Hang in and keep relaxing. Blues, J.E. James 4:8
