  1. Hey, my new one only has about 200 or so jumps on it. Besides, I can't run fast enough to land those pocket rockets. I will hold you to that beer. If I can get my hands on it, I can get it to my mouth. Well most of the time. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  2. When ZP is made it is not sprayed with silicone. The silicone is applied and then the material is subjected to pressure and heat. (calendered) If you spray Lo-Po material with silicone you will have Lo-Po material that is real gooey. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  3. Chuck, You are right, I checked the invoice, $1048.00 without O2 mask and com. Ouch! It is a HGU-33 instead of a HGU-55. But it does have the custom liner and paint. Jim, PM me with the parts you need. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  10. Some canopies lend themselves to a faster/harder opening by their design, while others will be slower/softer by design. But packing, slider type and size, deployment speed, deployment altitude and body position can also contribute to a "bad opening". The variables are to many to list.

  13. Years ago, during a Halloween meet, I dropped a pumpkin during a "pumpkin pass" dive. It was about 12 to 14 inches in diameter. It took off like I was standing still. I dropped it at around 5,000 feet and it hit the ground about the time I got open, 2,500, 2,800 or so. No idea how fast it went but it had to be 180 +.
