    And is usally found on big old canopies jumped by old men. :P] Sparky My Spectre 120 has dacron lines. And I would not call it a big old canopy, nor would I call myself and old man. See the highlighted word? See the at the end of post? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    If memory serves me, the stitch count should be 10 spi + or – 1. I am sure someone will let know it that is wrong. You get up to 15 + and you end up with a “tear along dotted line” situation. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I can't put my finger on it but the tuck flap circled in red doesn’t look right. Also it does look over packed. The container should be marked as a J3K or JIKL. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Jerry, For several years now skydivers have been saying skydiving has to become more mainstream. They say by going mainstream you can bring more money into the sport. Well folks welcome to the big time. And I see it going downhill from here. A couple of years ago I posted that I felt the attitude of a small minority of new jumpers would end up killing the sport. Airtardo disagreed and said it would be economics that do skydiving in. Well Jim I now think you are right. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Disclaimer: This is just my opinion. I think it is better to set it at or below break off. When you hear it go off you only have one action to take, turn and run. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Elongation is the materials ability to stretch measured in percentage of overall length. The term elasticity describes the ability of a fabric to elongate (or stretch) when tension is applied, and to recover its original shape when the tension is released. Think of a rubber band as having elasticity. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I don’t have a dog in this fight and it doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. But you need to look at the video again. At: 31 in the video you can clearly see the right riser attached to the reserve bridle. You can see the bridle forming a bite and both ends going back to the jumper. At :32 you can see 2 maybe 3 line twists in the reserve before full inflation. jmo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    They are trying to hit a target that is 3 cm in diameter. ____________ That line is about 3 cm. Hell I can't figure out how they can see the damn thing. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Right as usual Rob. This is the only picture I have ever seen of a “lap” type system. I have never seen one or talked to any rigger that holds a "lap" rating. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
