    And some people are better left unheard and unanswered. I smell troll cooking. (Not you, him) My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Your "sniveling your main" will stand you up in a feet to earth position. In this position the Cypres will fire at some where around 1050 to 1100 feet. Now you have to go back to the start and do you calculation all over again. http://www.cypres-usa.com/cyp13.htm My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Terry, I think what he meant was it was propsed, by PIA, as the replacement for AS8015B. Do you think the FAA will act on it anytime soon? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    And people wonder why it is said "Skydivers are too fucking dumb to live." Anyone with an "A" lic. that jumped that rig should be gounded until the next ice age. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    While I have not viewed any where near the number of high speed videos as you have, the ones I have watched lead me to agree with you completely. I have never seen one nor have I talked with anyone who has seen one. Urban myth comes to mind. Could you define what you mean by “line dump”? I don’t think everyone is on the same page with the use of this term. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    You really had to work to blow up a C-9. Those things are build tough. I worked on a program where the C-9 was modified to go into the F-18A and B head box. Attached is a picture of one I packed leaving an F-4 at 600 KEAS at 500 feet over China Lake. (4,000 MSL) The other picture is the canopy about to land with a 6' 6", 376 pound test dummy including all of its equipment. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    When you think about it, the 5 sec. delay was the hardest jump in static line training. Just enough time to get in trouble but not enough speed to get out of it. I hated them. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    You have to take into account the time when the book was written. During that time a lot of what was said by some skydivers could not be understood, even by the one that said it.

    A 7TU made from a C-9 28 foot flat military canopy. See attachment Bozo, B-4 with a sleeved 7TU, chest mount container with a 24' flat, a Pioneer double zipper jumpsuit and a pair of French boots. The jumpsuit and the boots fit. $125.00 (Gary Hatenswiller grounded the reserve) My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Try wiggling your toes inside your shoes. It makes you focus on where your feet are and what they are doing. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I am glad it worked out well for you, the sponsor is a good cause. For a target that big you probably don't. Some DZ's have a student area that size or smaller. As Twardo said, on a real demo that 20' you mentioned could make a big difference. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    These forums are anything you want to make them. Just like your FTC you have to pay attention to learn anything. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    And in my opinion Beezy post is correct for the mort part. The one I had a chance to inspect was out of the envelope both as to speed and weight. You inferred that it was a stitching problem which is more than likely wasn't. My point was if you do not know, don't post, it just encourages rumor misinformation.

    Then this is what you should do. If you have any questions about it, go to your instructor. That is what you are paying him/her for. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Your first post appeared to be innuendo the way I read it. About your reply, yes, I have heard about SB-1221. But I have also kept up todate on the situation as I think you should before making such statements. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Tommy Owens told me a story about when he was first learning to jump at Piru and Arvin. He said he had around 7 or 8 jumps. He would go to 7,500 jump out and it was sky, earth, sky, earth, pull. Out of frustration he went to his first jump instructor, Bill Stage. He told Bill, I jump, its sky, earth, sky, earth, pull. Tell me Bill what am I doing wrong. Bill looked at him and with a straight face said, I don't know but as soon as I figure it out I will let you know. Bill Stage had 11 or 12 jumps at the time. Don't need no stinking instructor.
