Ok to add to the confusion... A standard B-90 KA has a max gross take off weight of 9300 lbs (Mullins KA is a modified B-90). A C-90 KA has a max gross TO weight of 9650. The chart on the KiloAlpha290 says it will get to 15,000 in 7min at ISA +10C and at 9650lbs. Which is approx 2200fpm. Also that is for a cruise climb at 120kts IAS. SO if you are not trying to get any distance you can increase climb rate. I had the opportunity to fly one of these KiloAlpha290 conversions and I took off at approx 8250 lbs. It was only myself and another pilot and for kicks and grins we easily got 3700 fpm and still had some decent forward speed. It was also a warm day, 80F. So I think that 4000fmp is possible. With a full load of jumpers, getting to 15000 in less than 7 min isn't all that bad. Also Mullins has 750SHP engines in his plane, the KA290 has 1000SHP Yes Mullins KA would have to be reengineered to go faster IAS, but that doesn't mean he couldn't go faster upward and not exceed Vne. However all that being said I'll take a super otter anyday over a KA. I like the bigger door.

According to Paragear's canopy comparison chart, the VX109 is 294 cu in. vol. I find this somewhat hard to believe since they say the FX109 is 349 cu in. I think they made a typo. However the 349 cu in is comparable to a Velocity 96 at 340 cu in. That will easily go into an OJ. Even a Velocity 103 with a vol of 370 cu in. will easily go into the OJ. I'd call the factory.

I sent you the PDF to your e-mail. I don't have any pics of tie-dye rigs but your best bet is to call the factory and see what they have done in the past and what looks good. Do you have a color combo already picked out or are you leaning toward any colors? D ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

Are you ordering the container directly from sunpath or are you using a dealer? Is all you need an order form or do you have more questions? What I would recommend is to get an order in and if you want to change it in the next couple of weeks you should be able to do so. The won't start working on your container until about a month from delivery date. If you need an order form PM me and I'll e-mail you one.

Jim Cazer in Taladega, AL makes most the aftermarket PC's. Your local dealer should be able to get one from him. D ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

See if Cannon has a corded remote, splice the wires to the bite switch. As far as mounting, lots of gaffers tape. d ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

There was a post done earlier this year in which Jim Slaton told of a canopy that he used. . It was just a prototype. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=734655;#734655 ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

If you are a member of a FAI recognized group you should be allowed to jump at an USPA DZ. I'm assuming you have a French license. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

Well to eliminate some cost, if you only going to use a PC-105 then you really don't need a chin cup. I have shot video on hundreds of jumps without a chin-cup. I only put one on when I started to shoot stills. As far as a mounting bracket, a L bracket will do, but check out ADI's box, http://www.arrowdynamicsinc.com/accessories.html It's only $72 and will keep you camera protected. You'll want to get a camera condom (about $30) Helmet $180 Camera $800 Wide Angle $130 Accessories $200 Jumping with video proof - priceless ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J.

The .3 lens is the most versatile since you can have a really wide lens or you can zoom in and have a .5 or higher. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -

Yes there was a release and complete rights were "supposedly" given to the production company. One of the 8-way team's cameraman was removed from the competetion when he refused to sign the waiver. (he refused b/c his team could not use their own video) This practice is actually illegal. I'll use my own video for my own uses. I have no problem paying $20 for the work that was put into the editing of the video. ______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes -
