  1. I don't peel anything. I got my reserve handle out of velcro quite often. I had some real emergencies and using them was not an issue.
  2. How do you put 15 people in a Caravan(C-208)? We gained a really interesting method: 3 people in 1 row, 5 rows. 1st row is sitting on some bench behind the pilots, 2nd row is sitting on the knee/lap of the 1st row(!!!), 3-5 raw is sitting on the floor. Boarding looks like a circus and we enjoy our good, close company until 300m, than 5th line is going into the tail, 3-4th line moving 1 row backward and 2nd line is sitting on the floor. Any ideas?
  3. I was trying when my was new. It does not help. Its slippery from silicone. You may check this You may find textual description among my posts.
  4. Even a 1000 miles journey starts with a single step. Tracking is about gaining horizontal speed. If you have docked to a formation on the bely you don't have have horizontal speed.
  5. 2nd picture _does_ show tracking: the other ring of the big formation is braking off and tracking away. Point in tracking is maximizing horizontal speed. Getting separation is just one use case.
  6. Ok. Now please define tracking formation.
  7. Both? But you can not compare TAS speeds.... SAS is normalized, so you can compare.
  8. Have you noticed that those canopies does not use the same material? So pack volume is a different story.
  9. I've bought my Pilot without demo or regret .
  10. So? You can find plenty or reviews here.
  11. No long walking involved, you have to get 50m close to any taxiway and wait for your pick-up.
  12. They suck bigtime, I really don't know why I want to send some money to them.
  13. Were dinos still exist that time ?
  14. I think the power line is better. You can see that. Imagine a hawkeye is watching you from the tower and report back that you were low in wrong place and you might get grounded without any hard evidence, because Club/DZO does not want to get everyone grounded....
  15. It's a pretty hard job to do. I've jumped a lot and packed for mostly myself and got really dry hands.
  16. nope, the rule is not under 300m over the runway and its 50m surrounding. So it can be 130-160m.
  17. Do not cross runway under 1000ft/300m, how to decide? Actually that is a 100m wide corridor. How can you make sure that you don't break the rule?
  18. But you have to change the angle twice...
  19. Notice that you can not collect so much speed that can support your horizontal flight over 90 seconds in higher agnle of attach than agle of max-out.
  20. Same here. Static line course includes 2 jumps. We pack those. Student should pack afterwards, we help them of course.
  21. Wow! Enjoy packing your silicon slimy beast.
