    Check out the blow switch setup from Mike down there too, I have found it to be as good or better then the mess of tongue switches I've bought over the last few years. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    I'm up to at least 800 on my Samurai right now. Its on its second line set right now too. Prior to that was 400 on a Jedei at the same size. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    I believe that out of your number there were a number of BOD members that were asked to abstain from voting because of conflicts of interest. The numbers might not look as you are trying to make them be because of these non-voters. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    I've heard the airlock design on this design beats all others hands down. It allows you to step in and out of the airlock while the tunnel is running so if you forgot something its not an issue or if you just want to get a drink at the bar or creep again you can!

    Per notes on the USPA website the BOD this meeting changed the BSR's around tandem skydives: Additional highlights of the meeting include— • The Basic Safety Requirements were changed to require all student tandem skydives to be conducted in accordance with the specific manufacturer’s age requirements for the tandem system used for that jump. I heard from someone there the vote was around 13 for this change and 4 against with 3 abstaining. I understand that this BSR is waiverable only by a full vote of the BOD so there is still an option for the Make-a-wish tandems and other special situations but general under 18 tandems are not allowed.

    You might be able to do it as easy as just renaming the extention. Try that first instead of having to convert. If its not accepting then use Handbrake. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    If its USPA membership the DZ should be able to look the status of your membership up on the USPA website to confirm you are in good standing. Once that is done you are good to go! Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    You might want to look over the USPA SIM if you are in the US about the part for 200 jumps to jump a camera

    The other option for skydiving is the 1100D. Its a stripped down and slightly worse imager but unless you need the HD video feature it will meet a lot of the needs for skydivers. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    Why? I jump with a few people that hold ATP ratings and are TI's. I would have no issues getting a Class 1 if need and only a few people I know would have issues. Those same people are the ones that have issues getting and maintaining a Class 3. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    I wonder when the last IPv6 will be allocated. I'm guessing I'll be long gone before that happens at its current rate of adoption! Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    I am really surprised that it did not at least need to get field approval for some of the changes like the extra flap being added. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    The DZ needs to put in the correct GPS coordinates for their listing in the Dropzone database on here. They have not entered anything and as such the search is not looking for them. Also another DZ in the state http://www.dropzone.com/dropzone/Detailed/1094.shtml put in the wrong info and they placed their marker near Antarctica in the Atlantic Ocean so they do not appear on your search either.

    To properly do the skyhook per UPT's design would involve adding an additional flap, modifying the reserve bridle, getting a piece of the machined metal for the skyhook and installing a Collins lanyard. All of that would then need to have been approved at each step of the way by the local FSDO and then drop tested to prove it works. Basically a whole new TSO would need to be applied for with the cost of thousands of dollars for all the work and paperwork. In short unless it comes from the factory you will not find it happening in the field. If you really want a Skyhook there are containers that have done the work and the testing you could by instead of your Mirage. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    Kelly is clueless about Infinities. Its not like you can call him directly, have him pick up on the second ring and have a 15-20 minute conversation over the finer parts of harness construction with the pro's and con's of different styles of attachments for articulation.

    Look online at craigslist for a series 2 TiVo with lifetime service. Series 2 is not hd so they are getting dumped not the market and the lifetime service means you get the schedules and updates as long as TiVo is in business. The lifetime service was a $300 option a few years ago. I see units going for $75-125 on craigslist all the time locally. They might only record 20 hours or so but upgrading the hard drive is simple if you have a spare ide drive laying around. If you need hd then look at the ones from the cable company since they update them and replace equipment all the time. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    The original author was paid by the FAA and it is published via the FAA printing office. thisis the same as the latest edition of the FAR's or even the latest round of advisory circulars that is published. The FAA puts the PDF out with the hopes of getting people to print and use it. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

    Overall I dislike Black ops. It's not near as smooth as MW2 and the multi player just seems buggy. I've put an entire clip into a person had them turn around and put one round into me and I'm dead. On playback it never showed a single hit on the view but my view was showing hits the entire time. I was playing a game of CTf where my average life was around 2 seconds since I'd spawn and already be taking damage once I moved. Then you have to wait for up to 20 seconds to respawn... It just irritates me. Also I've been in games where I know boosters had to be used since one player had 45+ kills and no deaths. It was one shot to kill us but we couldn't kill him no matter what in deathmatch. I've moved on to assassins creed brotherhood until MW3 comes out this fall.

    I skipped the color and had it printed in black and white, front/back and spiral bound at my local Officemax for it think around $23. This option let's me fold it flat for usage on the sewing machines and when doing different things. The color option is nice but for the use of it I figured black and white was goodmenough and if I need color I'll just fire the computer up and look at the PDF.
