  1. I thought that was what the crown vent was for. Walt Jump a 24' flat unmodified or C-9 28' flat and see if the crown vent stops ocillation. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  2. 200 kts. is 230 mph. I don't think so.
  3. Read between the lines. I think there is more to this tale of woh then we have heard.
  4. The purpose of early mods on round canopies was just that to stop oscillation. Any forward speed and direction control was a by product of that. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  5. John, If you run into Loy again ask him if he remembers Jerry Bourquin, D-22. I guess they were roommates on the Nights.

  11. Pete, I was at Perris today and I am sorry I missed. I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, drop me a line if I can do anything. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  12.

  15. After Barbara Duke’s memorial dive at Perris today, Skip did a couple of low passes with his DC-3, 6MA. I was standing on the patio of the Bomb Shelter drinking a cold one with Al Frisby and thought to myself, I sure miss jumping out of DC-3’s and old D-18’s. They just seem to remind me of when skydiving was fun My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  16. Mel, Thank you for the information and your input.
  17. You got your money back, let it go. What you have in mind makes you an a-hole just like the guy you are mad at is.

  20. If I am not mistaken, the fact that it is case law shows that the decision was upheld on appeal Hulsey lost on all 4 points that he claimed in his suit. In pursuing his appeal, plaintiff makes four substantive contentions. They are that: (1) on the undisputed factual scenario there was no clear and comprehensive notice to plaintiff of what the legal consequences of the release would be; (2) such releases are against public policy; (3) the release is unenforceable because unconscionable in that it did not comport with plaintiff's reasonable expectations; and (4) parachute jumping is an ultrahazardous activity Number 3 deals with the "for injury or damage resulting from the negligence” statement in the waiver. The court held that "this section does not invalidate contracts which seek to except one from liability for simple negligence or strict liability" My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  21. The slider bumper keeps the lines placed properly at the ends and in their proper orientation. If the link somehow turned sideways and the line loaded it from the side, it may not hold or possibly damaging/cutting the line on the barrel. MEL As Jerry mentioned slider bumpers are not supplied by the manufacture of either the canopy or the H/C. To my knowledge none of the major manufactures cover them under AS8015B 5.1. In your opinion is it within a riggers authority to install them on a reserve/emergency assembly? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  22. Jerry, This is a speed link. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  23. Probably, how do probably ...... an ankle tib/fib?
