Hey Bro, what it is. It can go as high as the manufacture wants to take it, both with weight and speed. But is must be no less than 264 lb. and 180 KEAS for sport rigs and 480 lb. and 210 KEAS for tandem rigs. SAE AS8015 Revision B 4.3.4 (Continued): a. Test weight = Maximum operating weight limit x 1.2 b. Test speed = Maximum operating speed limit x 1.2 However, test weight must be not less than 264 lb (119.7 kg) and the test speed must be not less than 180 KEAS (333.4 km/h) for reserve and emergency parachute assemblies; for dual harness parachute assemblies for test weight must not be less than 480 lb (217.7 kg) and the test speed must not be less than 210 KEAS (388.9 km/h). TSO-23b is not unlimited. It has 2 categories, Standard and Low Speed. The Standard category is tested using a combination of weight and speed to produce a shock load of at least 5,000 lb. The Low Speed category is tested with weight and speed to produce a shock load of at least 3,000 lb. But it is not certified for use in aircraft above 150 MPH See Attachments: NAS-804 My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

When they were looking for people to do “Beta” testing I sent in my name and a short resume of my testing history. They said sure, but I would have to buy the unit. They would give me a discount but I said thanks but no thanks. People involved in test work do not buy the test item they test it. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Thanks for the picture, I marked where I landed the 2 stack with Paul Zacks on his first hook up. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Would like someone to spoon feed the information to you and peel your grapes at the same time. This SIM is pretty much written at the 4th or 5th grade level how hard can it be. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Put your butt in the air, your shoulders in your ears and your chin on your chest. Point you toes and push down with your hands/arms.

I did find this in the Talon FS manual. "Step 3. Route main risers over shoulders and close the main riser covers and route the main risers down along side the reserve container. Main toggles face inboard" This would be my recommendation because as Chuck brought up, it prevents a half twist in the risers. Riggers by and large anal about things and feel better when thing are done in a certain way. If there are 2 possible ways to do something we will debate it down to just 1 way and that will become the only correct way.

Did you pay $1500 for your gear? It is not cheap starter gear, it is overpriced gear that is rather old.

This one was reported on PIA riggers site on 23 Aug. by a rigger in Israel. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Chuck, When I first read the question I went and looked through several packing manuals. I was amazed at how this portion of main packing is almost completely overlooked. I did not find one manual that said how to stow the risers. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

And I was just a simple minded test jumper in a small desert town. I am way past being "more mature", I have moved on to "more old". My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -

Cary, That does bring back some great memories. I still have a T-shirt from one of Steve’s last times at the Farm. I remember giving Paul Zacks his first Crew hook up and landing it in front of the stage. I thought he was going to kill me.

How did you slip by you old crook. It was a lady examiner and my pretty blue eyes.LOL Thanks asshole, I just sprayed Gray Goose all over the keyboard. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Should D license requirements be changed?

Now those are two things that I agree on. Both would be a benefit to overall safety. But I can hear the whining and gnashing of teeth now. “I am a mature adult and I will decide what my risk level will be. You can’t tell me what to do.” It will really piss off the “entitlement” kids.

As I said before: “OK, I give up. If that is a word what does it mean?” From Merriam-Webster online dictionary: “The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary.” lacking balls Did you just make it up? Is English your first language? The closest word I can find to “balliest” ballista, which means balding. I think maybe you are looking for something like gelding or eunuch? Instead of the big words I guess you could use “ball less”. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Re-read what you just posted. Is it me or are you saying it stupid to do this but I am going to do it just the same? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Stimpy, This is the guy to talk to. He has been there, done that and has the T-shirt. He has done all the ground work and he is now where you want to be.

Conclusion: It takes up to 50 other jumps for a dive to be successful if John is on the load. -

Then I think you should run right out and get one.

Jerry, If I understand you correctly, it boils down to your choice of the “right” word when advising the FAA of your intentions. In this case you are not moving or “transferring” but simply relocating your production facilities. Thanks for the information. As is often the case there is a simple solution to a simple problem. It is just a matter of finding it. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
