Pilot Emergency Parachutes - Most Popular?
slotperfect replied to slotperfect's topic in Gear and Rigging
He weighs about 215 lbs. I would not describe him as "nimble," but otehrwise he moves and functions just fine. I have no idea about the airplane doors or seats. Arrive Safely John -
Based on what I have jumped thus far: -Vector II/PD360/PD421 -Vector II/PD360/EZ384 -Vector II/PD360/EZ425 -Sigma/PD360/Sigma370 -Sigma/PD360/Sigma395 -MicroSigma/PD360/Sigma340 -DualHawk/Master425/Master425 -DualHawk/Master425/SET400 -DualHawk/Master425/A2 I prefer the Sigma/PD360/Sigma 370. The Sigma 340 is more fun, but less practical - I am a large lad and tandems are all about getting my student down safely not my own entertainment. My landings are a little better (more standups) with the Sigma395 because of the lighter toggle pressure, but the fave is still the SIgma 370. Arrive Safely John

Pilot Emergency Parachutes - Most Popular?

He does not want to do aerobatics, he just wants to carry a bailout rig. I am not trying to influence his choice of aircraft, I'm just trying to help him find a good quality rig. Arrive Safely John -

2nd Annual Raeford MAD Boogie and Film Festival
slotperfect replied to McDuck's topic in Events & Places to Jump
Maybe you can enter your own video next year . . . just collaborate with a camera flyer who films you over the next 12 months and puts together a montage to submit at next year's boogie. I bet you will win in the "Short Subject" category! Arrive Safely John -

Pilot Emergency Parachutes - Most Popular?
slotperfect replied to slotperfect's topic in Gear and Rigging
I have a friend who is retiring and plans to buy an airplane. He wants a PEP that he can leave on the seat (round canopy). My information on which is the most popular is not up to date. I am interested in hearing from both Pilots and Riggers - what do you recommend? He is not rich, but he can afford to buy quality gear. Arrive Safely John -

Hi there! -
Beyond your D license . . . if you plan to get any ratings (AFF, Tandem, etc) you will want to continue getting your jumps signed and adding up your free fall time at least until your rating course is complete. Arrive Safely John

Searching within a discipline forum
slotperfect replied to micduran's topic in Suggestions and Feedback
Don't use that simple search feature. Use the "Search" link in the sub-toolbar at the top of the forums page (it's in between "Subscriptions" and "Who's Online"). The first drop-down menu lets you choose which forum you want to search. -

Episode 201 was just the glue to connect last season to this one - nothing special. I was not disappointed - I expected that. I do have high hopes for some new stuff tomorrow night though . . . Arrive Safely John

My fave from Lindsey Buckingham is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KswVThZH41w&feature=related As a guitarist, he is self-taught . . . never took a lesson. Only plays with his fingers - doesn't use a pick. A very interesting cat. Arrive Safely John

There were a series of benefit concerts for Amnesty International in the late 70s and early 80s. I remember having an album from e second one at some point. "The Secret Policemens Ball" - the 1979 concert - included these few minutes of brilliance by Pete Townshend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t9slqL_eSw This is by far my favorite acoustic Pete Townshend performance.

FREE BIRD! I just couldn't resist. Next year you need a kick ass sound system that is louder that Larry Lizard and people will have no choice but to listen. Maybe I can help with the sound system. I would love to watch it so I will take you up on the loan. I will be at RPC this afternoon, but any time works. Arrive Safely John
