  7. At Fingerlakes (NY) we use a simple walkie talkie system with an earpiece for the student. When I got there 6 years ago, the method of choice was a huge arrow at the peas which you ran around and the student flew in the direction of the arrow. I never quite did work out how they were supposed to see the arrow if they were flying away from it. When you got them on final, you were supposed to whip out the yellow flags, and the student was supposed to mimic your arm actions. The argument was that visual information was processed faster than aural information making for a speedier response. I didn't buy it then, and I don't buy it now. Where I trained at Skydive Palatka, FL, we had motorola radios, the only downside of which were we often heard the price of towels on Aisle 5 and intercepted a couple of interesting cell phone calls. All in all, I prefer radios until you're happy they're not going to damage the gear Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

  16. I got $240 (which is about the cost of the unit) but I sold it with 2 movies, a game and a theatre stand (worth in all about $130 more) - and it had been used about 5 times.

  17. I bought one, then sold it (at a loss) on ebay. The inconvenience of buying 2 sets of movies (DVD and UMD) and (at that time) there was no browser for it. I went to an IPAQ (I don't game). Plus side, the picture quality is excellent as is the sound with a theatre base.

    Tandem students

    If they're not students, I wouldn't consider myself an instructor. I don't take Tandem Passengers, they're all students as far as I'm concerned.
