    I have just over 200 tandems and have never had anyone puke. My friend riggerrob however must either hold the record or is sure close. Sometimes I wonder about him!

    I am a TM and vidiot and this weekend I experienced a fellow vidiot grabbing my passenger in order to keep his fall rate relevant. This did not suceed as we started going all over the place and I had to physically remove him(he had one hell of a grip). I have never used the passenger and have never experienced this before. Your thoughts on the subject would be gratefully accepted!??

    Hi Jimmy, Thanks so much for your reply! I have a Conceptus bite switch that I will attach. I am just heading out the door to pick up the MC-DC1 switch and I will give it a try tonight. I will let you know how it goes. Cheers,Quinny.

    Hi Folks, I have a Nikon D70 s that I will be using this year. If anyone has any good input regarding a remote for it I would be very grateful, Thanks, Quinny

    "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." .... besides, your profile lists TSOed gear manufactured in the USA. There is no slack for foreign jumpers wearing TSOed gear - in the USA -, they must conform to all American Federal Air Regulations. The "foreign gear waiver "was originally intended for europeans who wanted to jump european-made, non-TSDOed gear in Florida. Now that most european-made gear is covered by JTSO or JAAR TSO (both of which are almost identical to FAA TSOs), the whole foreign-gear waiver is out-dated.

    Hi Rob! Long time no see! We have the first student to enter the aircraft to sit on their butt with their back to the pilots seat and their legs straight out. Everyone else then is on their knees facing the IP. The Instructor is on his/her knees facing the tail. Also someone wrote that there students put there right arm out onto the strut first after getting in the door. I have found that this presents a large surface area to the wind and makes it more difficult for students to climb out. If they put there left hand out onto the strut first, then right foot onto step then right hand then left foot it makes the whole process easier for the student. Climbing out generally seems to be the most intimidating thing for our students. Would love to hear anyones thoughts....[email]Quote

    That really sucks, I know that he had a talon that has just sat at the beiseker dz all of this season and he never went up there to jump. He is still alive because I saw him coming out of a shopping mall a month ago. I hope that this helps you, best of luck quinny

    I have about 110 jumps with the 33 and I think its great. I have it mounted in a 2k composites ffx helmet and after a few adjustments its great. The video quality is great and the stills were better than I thought they would be. They are wider than the PC's you see out there but after jumping one I am happy to stay with it. I will post a photo of what it looks like later this week. Blue skies guys and gals
