  1. See post #81. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  2. And do you think that was due to skill or luck? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  3. Like I said, makes no difference to me.
  4. Again I have no stake in this, this is just an observation. Before the policy went into effect the dealer would list the MSRP and the price that the dealer would sell a PD canopy to the end user for. The end user is not buying the canopy from PD they are buying it from the dealer so the while the MSRP is nice it means very little to the jumper shopping for a new canopy. They should be able to deal directly with the dealer.
  5. First of all, I have no stake in this and could care less about PD's policies. I would guess that there is a substantial segment of your potential customer base that is only interested in the lowest discount and do not feel they will need “customer service”.
  6. Always the smart ass, but always thinking. A good way to stay alive my friend.

  8. And tell me how do you reach understanding if you fail to analyze? If your boss didn’t analyze things there would not be a skyhook.
  9. I happens every day. Get used to it. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  10. Comparing student gear with personal gear is apples and oranges. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  11. Large difference between a Cessna 150 and a 150 Aerobat. I would think you would know that. But you instructor sure as hell did. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  12. A brake coming unstowed was not a problem before Velcro less toggle became the norm. Probably the biggest cause for a "brake fire" is the jumper reaching up for the risers and pulling the toggle loose. This was harder to do with Velcro toggles. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  14. The skyhook adds one more layer of complexity to repacking a reserve. If you lose sight of that you are on your way down a slippery slope. That’s why this was issued: PSB#20031203 Skyhook RSL My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  15. In case you haven't noticed, they are POW's not criminals. Maybe you have to have severed to know the difference. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  19. The one in this picture flew a Perris for a few years. The sign as you turn into the DZ is made of one of the wing from this plane. Mike Duran used to live in it.
  20. And when I respond to your post it gets deleted. It there a problem with pointing out that what was posted conforms to what you have said in the past? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  21. And what type of trainer was you flying that were certified for aerobatic flight. All of which could get his lic. pulled and yours put in question. That’s not "unconventional" it would seem to be bad judgment. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  22. It’s already been done, vacuum sealed. Simula out of Tempe AZ makes the Thin Pack or Dura Pack. One problem, vacuum sealing makes it hard as a rock. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
