    What kind of rig? Check the web site for what ever brand it is, they should have a rigging and repair section.

    Like I said, I heard rumor of or observed but participate, not me. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Kevin, Hang in there, you will win some and you will lose some. But how many people do you know that get the chance to make a real difference in someone’s life. You get the chance to roll out a 2 am and hold a little old ladies hand because she is scared or help a baby come into this world kicking a screaming. You think back on those times and tell me if you still hate your job. Let me know next time you come south, I will pick you up at the A/P and the beer is on me. You have earned it my brother.

    Looks like just another shity day in paradise.

    That doesn't help much, post a picture.

    Buoyancy is the word you're looking for. He's from Texas, they don't send much time "looking" for words.

    That’s a good question. I don’t know the answer but I think I will make an effort to find out.

    Like the title says, this is the History forum. Things have changed a lot in the last 20/30 years. Sometimes I can't believe some of the shit that happened and I was there. (but just as an observer)

    If you want answers you should be willing to give answers. We all say something stupid at sometime. Your way of dealing with it reflect poorly on you. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    This might have a positive effect in the long run. It makes people with new or different ideas to develop and refine their invention to a point where it can with stand a critical eye. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Once you get the bag high enough for that to happen the canopy will deploy without the drag of the PC or the bridle. The hard part is just getting the bag to come out of the pack tray.

    You fooled his ass.

    If I remember right the Talon bridal is about 15 feet long. If the 2 pockets are 650 mm (25”) for the first and 850mm (33”) more to the second one they are both on the bottom half. The half closest to the bag. With the PC hung up on the jumper pockets on the lower half of the bridle will still be pointed in the right direction.

    When working I jumps what ever the one signing the check wants jumped.

    If you are from Zimbabwe the FAA can't do shit to you. You wouldn't be lying in your profile would you? If you are, what else are you lying about?

    You are 100% correct. That is the main reason reserves are not made of ZP. The "bricking" is caused by the silicone coating on ZP.

    I have never seen it used on rounds or any other type of canopy. To it on a reserve would be a violation of FAR's in the US. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Good catch Terry.

    Weigh it to find out.

    My standard come back has always been "They haven’t made a "perfectly good” airplane yet. If they question that I go on to explain AD’s to them. The only plane that I know of that has not had an AD against it is a Howard DGA. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I don't think so. I have flown a lot of canopies I would not land.

    You can take 3 other jumpers with resonable abilities and use a folding chair for the fourth and turn 4 points. If not, you should not be FF. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
