Atsaubary is going to be jumping a MT1-xx with the two 370 7 cells. I was referring to Airtwardo's rig which he says has 270 canopies. It is the MT1-s which has 270 canopies and can be 5 or 7 cell. http://www.paraflite.com/html/tech2.html This site will explain it. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I think what you have is a MT-1s. The canopys should be span constructed 5 cells. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

When a bag with stows deploys the lines, it starts to whip back and forth going from the stow on one side to the stow on the other side. The high speed film that Bill mentioned shows that this can get real ugly at times. With the pouch the lines come straight out and little if any whip. I have been jumping a main "D" bag with a pouch for nearly 5 years. Yes the velcro does wear out, but so far no problems. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

How much do you think the material has degraded during the handling during manufacturing. I know some or maybe even all the manufacturers test fabric when received, but how many check the completed canopy? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I was a Firefighter for 30 years, an EMT for the whole 30 and a ParaMedic for 15. If you work in the ambulance field the pay sucks. In the fire service it is not to bad, good benefits and great retirement. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

The highest ejection speed I have heard of was 720 mph from a F-14. The pilot, front guy, survived and the RIO, back guy got shredded. With all the safety features on a modern seat anything below 450 is not that bad. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Now that shows a touch of class.

Hop & Pop is slang for "Clear and Pull". Just like it says, clear the A/C and pull. If you take a 5, 6, or 10 sec. delay it is not a "Clear and Pull". My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

(2) The auxiliary must have been packed by a certificated and appropriately rated parachute rigger: (i) Within 120 days before the date of use, if its canopy, shroud, and harness are composed exclusively of nylon, rayon, or other similar synthetic fiber or material that is substantially resistant to damage from mold, mildew, or other fungi and other rotting agents propagated in a moist environment; or (ii) Within 60 days before the date of use, if it is composed in any amount of silk, pongee, or other natural fiber, or material not specified in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section. (b) No person may make a parachute jump using a static line attached to the aircraft and the main parachute unless an assist device, described and attached as follows, is used to aid the pilot chute in performing its function, or, if no pilot chute is used, to aid in the direct deployment of the main parachute canopy. (1) The assist device must be long enough to allow the container to open before a load is placed on the device.

Hang in there, it will get better. I quit one year ago this month after 35 years. When you get the munches eat pretzels and carrot sticks. Also like someone mentioned, take walks and drink lots of water. Good Luck! Michael My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
