Here is a direct quote from Bill Booth. It almost sounds like he is endorsing a metal handle. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Now you are mixing apples with oranges. The manufactures are required to provide a manual for new equipment. TSO-23d c (2). The industry standard I referred to is what is the standard when buying and selling used gear. If you sell a canopy you have no need for the links because when you replace it, it should come with links. When you sell a container it should include the risers and toggles because you would have no use for them. The only reason I can see to keep parts of component is stock pile for yourself at the expense of the buyer. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I have not seen the video and was responding to a statement that the skyhook was activated by the jumper hitting his rig on the wing of the Cessna. If in fact it was a snagged RSL then that would be a different situation. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

To all of the Ladies on the new World Record Jump for the Cause load, congratulations. You did a great job both on the jump and in raising funds for an important cause. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

First of all I think the argument on both side is just silly. You have people on both sides parroting what they have heard from others without any real knowledge of the subject of their own. But then as always that is just my opinion. Just for the hell of it here is a copy of Mil-R-1832D for your reading pleasure. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

When you buy from a private party you should get what is considered the industry standard. That would mean on a container the free bag and pilot chute, the risers with toggles and the “d” bag with pilot chute. With canopies that would include links. In most occasions the buyer is the new guy without enough knowledge to ask the right questions. The seller is the more experienced jumper and should know what goes with what. Its not a matter of what is expected it is a matter of what is right. Yes it would but the scenario was a canopy shipped without any type of link. Since the buyer can’t go out a buy a used set he should get the cost of a new set. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

It would not have happened without the skyhook which leads me to believe it was a skyhook related incident. In almost every case if something solves one problem it has the potential of creating different problem/s. Having crawled out on the wheel of a Cessna many times I know it is very easy to bump your rig against the wing or door. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Cell: The compartment formed by the top and bottom surfaces and two adjacent load bearing ribs. Each cell is usually divided by a non-load bearing rib to form two half cells. Cells are numbered from left-to-right by full-cell number; use left (L) and right (R) to designate the appropriate half cell. The entire compartment” between load bearing ribs is just one cell. Any divisions within this cell are “half cell” or in the case of Velocity 1/3 cell. It is a seven cell with 2 non load bearing ribs in each cell.

Do some research; he is a starving college student, doesn’t own a rig and is very concerned about the cost of buying one. It sounds like he would be hard pressed to buy tunnel time. Like I said before, that’s if his profile is correct. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

This is not meant as a flame but just an observation on my part. At 32 jumps, if your profile is correct, you should be working on perfecting you basic RW skills, i.e. belly fling. And at 32 jumps you should not be giving advice to other jumpers on how to do any type of flying. Particularly when your advice is wrong. As I said, not a flame just my opinion.

If you want to know the time buy a watch, if you want to know your altitude buy an altimeter. At pull time the cool factor sucks. jmo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Yes, I do remember them. While tracking away from a big way I caught myself waiting for it to go off so I could pull. When I got on the ground I started thinking about what had happened and sold my “Dirt Alert”. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
