You might consider the "High Desert". The housing costs are not bad and you can avoid some of the traffic problems in the LA basin. The job market is not bad either. Sparky PS - 40 min. to Perris, 1 hour to Elsinore. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

What problems are they prone to? If they are built right, they open at around 40 mph. That is less than half the speed of a hop & pop. I have been using one I build for several years, no problems. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Freedom means you can quit your job and go skydiving, it means you can be an asshole and not vote, it means you can love someone special, it means you are free to say this country sucks, and it means you are one of the lucky people who get to live in a place we call America!

Demo Jumpers! CALL TO ACTION!!

I do believe that as a USPA - PRO Rated jumper, we could lower the number of claims we currently have by raising ( in no small way ) the requirements for getting and keeping a PRO rating. If it were up to me, I would put the rating at least on par with an AFF or Tandem instructor rating, in that more study, testing, and proving yourself in a number of 'judgment' situations would be required. Jim, I aggree with you completly, a Pro rating should be tough to get and keep. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -

You may want to look into a bungee type collapsible pilot chute. You do not have to cock them and if they break you have a regular p/c. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

'Accuracy canopy' used by Cheryl Stearns?

The last few years I have been jumping a Sharpchuter by Flight Concepts. It is 245 sq. ft., 7 very deep cells, split slider and seperated stablizers. Stable in brakes, you can bring it straight down and can flare from 1/2 brakes. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -

Quick, where is the sternocliedomastoid, and what does it do? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Lou, I have used the PHAOS only once and like the side feed. It keeps moisture from pooling in the exhalation/inhalation valve. The six man consoles I was talking about were made by Conex, now out of the O2 business with MBU-12 masks with quick fittings and single pin comm. plugs. We do a lot of work with the navy and their test jumper unit has gone to the PHAOS system. They are not interchangeable so we will have to upgrade so. Big bucks. Thanks for the last post, it should make it clear to all that above 18000 you can wake up dead. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Bill, I came down on Sunday to try one but could not find Kim. After reading your story I'll go nuts waiting to try one. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Lou, To my knowledge there are no "civilian consoles". The ones we use at AERO are six man conex systems and our masks have demand reg. on them. If you go above 43000 msl you need pressure breathing equipment to force O2 in and above 62-63000 msl you need a pressure suit, ie space suit or your blood will boil. At 25000 your time of useful consciousness is measured in just min. and at 30000 it is measured in sec. Above 18000 and surely above 24000 is not a game it serious and dangerous. Once you are at altitude you can have a leak in your mask because the nitrogen you breath will not expand unless you go higher. Sparky Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
