  4. You are probably right, it does allow you to go faster and further. But I don't know many people who have access to the equipment that can measure the difference. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  5. Thanks Bill, I had not heard of that one before. I thought I was the last one jumping a non ZP 7 cell. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  6. I do not think PD makes a 218 canopy. If I am wrong, could you give some more infor. on it? Thanks, Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  7. I have never jumped or packed one. But here is the web site of the people that make them. Sparky http://www.freeflightent.com/index.htm My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  8. We did a 64 way with all local jumper at Perris in 1981. Sparky That was an unofficial world record for awhile if I'm not mistaken. I used to have a jigsaw puzzle of that one, blew me away to see it one day in a game store. Saw you, Al Krueger, Barry Bardack, Rudi, robin, Ed Marsh ( one of my wedding ushers), Glory (RIP), and many others. Bought the sucker then & there. It's long gone now... Thats when a world record had to be completed in 60 sec. and held for 5 sec. I still have my puzzle. Maybe some day I will put it together. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  9. This may have something to do with them not being allowed in the states. Sparky http://www.airdisaster.com/cgi_bin/aircraft_detail.cgi?aircraft=Let+410 My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  10. The "Thinpack" system listed on this site is vacum packed. I was involved in the testing in the late 90's. They are looking at a 27 year repack cycle. Sparky http://www.simula.com/personnel/ My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  11. Maybe I'll take it out again next year when I'm ready to make # 3000..... Then again.... Maybe NOT! Me, me, me. Can I watch, please, please..........? Sparky (I used to be a Para Medic) PS: I'll bring the Ice Cream! My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  12. Most were not "Instructors" but dozens of people over the years who given of their time and effort to help me become a better jumper and I hope a better person. Some have moved on and some have passed on, but I love them one and all. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  13. Larry, his is missed. How are you doing. Sparky (aka Owens) My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  14. It has to be. The one and only. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  15. JP, Are you teaching the FJC in birdman? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  16. Hey, hey. I resemble that. No personal attacks. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  17. Oh Shit! Why bother posting one of those simple exits. That be cool. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  18. Dom, You the Man. Put me on the list. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  19. You are/were smart. There are a lot more seat rigs around then there are chest. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  20. Kudos on the tandem. And like I told you before, the helmet did not come un-snapped. It ran away from that jumpsuit. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  21. Here you go, chasing the base. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  22. There is no secret. It is just muscle. If you run a pull cord through the third cone down on a back pack you can pull that cone in place and then the bottom one will be fairly easy. Next do the same with the top cone and the 2nd. cone. On a chest mount, close it up without the PC in and park your car on it overnight. In the morning put the PC in. Piece of cake.

  23. Trying to find a guy, but you don't know his name. What a great concept. Good Luck. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  24. Chuck, Who me, I don't like Reflexs? Na not me. In the 70's we went through this 2 pilot chute thing. Anytime you have 2 pilot chutes, one always pulling against the other. When I saw 2 on the Reflex all I could think was if we don't learn from history we are sure to repeat it. I am not sure who said that, the guy who played Patton in the movie maybe. In any case, I feel there are too many areas that can be a problem. JMO. J.E. I am not going anywhere that I know of, just getting real picky about what I will pack. Kudos to you, a couple of good threads. They got people to thinking and that will will help keep some of them alive. PS: Chuck, I will take cones any day.
