  1. Yeah, that's going to happen, but when I first sat down to make the site, I didn't have a good US map. Then my "carpal tunnel" started acting up since I had the mouse in my hands for about 8 hrs. I'll definitely add the US map, and San Marcos should be fixed D ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

  3. I just put this together. It's by far not perfect but it at least helps to know where dz's are in location of the state. DZ's BY STATE If you'd like to put a link to this on the dropzone section feel free. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

  6. Look on Canopy Piloting and there's a post about them. SkyMonkeyOne just got one about a month ago as well. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  7. What an awesome location! The airport is no more than 5 min from the beach (depending where you are on the strip) One really good hangout place is [ url "www.ajs-destin.com " ] AJ's [/url] The Holiday Inn is pretty nice, but there are many hotels on Hwy 98. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J.

  9. According to the manufacturer, the max load limit is 83kg or 183 lbs. It is a TSO C23(c) [ url "http://www.parachuteriggers.com/documents/Adv%20Para-Sys/APS%2001Jan90.PDF" ] BOGY MANUAL [/url] Hope this helps. BTW put some information in your profile, it helps to know who you're talking to. - JP ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  10. Justin, can you post any photos or at least PM me some? Thanks ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  11. I've jumped the Blade and it's a really nice canopy. Very sweet openings, light front riser pressure, dives really steep, can be landed on either rear's -> toggles or just toggles alone. I felt it was a lot like the Xfire, great option for camera guys who still like to have a little fun on landings. I doubt they'll make it in a 39. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  12. There's nothing wrong with the PC-1. I've got over 1000 videos with it. Is it as good as what's out now, no, but it still is a good camera. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

    Fusion

    I've jumped two Fusion's a 170 and a 120. At a lower wing loading the Fusion is docile and forgiving. It has a good flare and light pressure on the fronts and toggles (I haven't tried rear riser landings with either) The Fusion 120 is an excellent choice for wingsuit or camera flying. It has very good carry for AFF-I's getting back from long spots. At the 1.85 wing load it is very snappy and a fun "easy" canopy to fly. Front riser pressure is heavy after a 360, but it then responds well to harness input. Give this canopy a try, it's worth it My experience 1000+ Velocity 90-103, 500+ Stiletto 120-150, 400 Xaos 27 88-103, then a few on Xaos 21, Fusion, Nitron, Katana, Blade, Cobalt, VX, Crossfire2, Safire, FC Rage, FC Pro-series, Sabre2, Spectre.
  14. Also if you get a piece of paper, line it up on the corner, then punch holes in the paper where the screw holes are, then simply place the paper on the helmet where you want the stroboframe to go and drill where the holes in the paper are. Hope it helps D ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  15. I don't know if it could be repaired, unless you've got a electronics junky nearby. The web address for the company is [ url "www.skytools.m.se" ] SKYTOOLS [/url] Dave ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  16. Hey Lew, Here's a couple photos of the mount on a Hawkeye. I also put a mount on my FTP on the L-bracket on the front, but I left that helmet in the video room which is now locked... Reviews, The mount is really solid, and very easy to pull the camera off for downloads. It's very easy to verify that the camera is locked in. There seems to be a lot less play in it than the stroboframe. Again not that the stroboframe is a bad mount, I just really like how solid the GM is. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  17. Yes, I'm aware of the cost difference (at least while you can get them) and that they are proven. HOWEVER, I've got nearly $2000 in my 10D and lens, I'm about to purchase a 1D Mk2 and that raises my cost to nearly $5000 and the difference of $30 bucks isn't that much. The goldmember has four mounting screws compared to the stroboframe's two. I've never been really "crazy" about the little spring catch on the stroboframe. (Mine always seemed to stick) There is a lot less play with the goldmember compared to the stroboframe. I am in no way saying the stroboframe is bad, but I believe the goldmember is a more secure mounting system. The original wonderhog was a good system but my Micron is much better. I also like the fact that a skydiving company is making it. Lew, after this weekend I'll be happy to post additional info and some pics of my setup. The only thing I'd change about the goldmember is I took off the metal ring attached to the plunger and put a small piece of gutted dacron line. blue ones Dave ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J.

  18. Got my goldmember from Bonehead today. It looks very solid for a camera mount. In fact I'm ditching my stroboframe and mounting my GM. Good job Bonehead. For thoes looking for stroboframes, don't bother, call bonehead. Dave ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  19. The only real difference in the HC 20-30-40 and the TRV 19-22-33 series is the width. The HC is according to the specs 21mm more narrow than the TRV-19-22-33 series. The sizes TRV 19-22-33 H 90mm, , W 71mm, D 112mm HC 20,30,40 H 86mm, W 50mm, D 112mm I got this data off some spec sheets from different resellers. In conclusion, I'm sure the TRV-19 Dbox will work. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
  20. That's an understatement!! When I held down the d2h, it was like RAPID FIRE. Absoutely amazing as far as the speed. When I hit the lotto, I'll send you a Mk2 Dave ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

  25. Our graphics guy at work has one and I got to fiddle with it a bit. The speed and buffer size is absolutely amazing! It didn't seem to terribly heavy in comparison to my 10d. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
