There are people training both, but the two-hands per handle does seem to be much more common. I was taught to rip(pulling cutaway handle off velcro, pulling straight out would be harder), then pull down and away cutaway handle, and follow the pull with the other hand to make sure the cords clear the three ring junction. Then, pull reserve. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

Is that the doggie version of a couch potato? yes! talk about spoiled brats....but, when someone unwelcome comes to the door, all hell breaks loose...then they take a 3 hour nap after all the excitement.

Post it! I think it is a great idea. Hell, I am installing a fence around my front yard to keep the bible thumpers, carpet cleaners, and meat venders away. Really pisses me off that in the house that I pay for, I am bombarded with sales people. Next one that comes to the door gets to meet my boxers! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

well it is a huge improvement over gangster rap. would you rather here drugs, f--king the police, bling bling (not a word, i dont care what you say), and killing people? ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

so I show up at the Hesperia airshow this morning at 5:30 am and look what I go to set up next too...an AN-2! My trike is just behind the AN-2. This one is based in Upland, Ca...not licensed for skydivers in the US...bummer. anyway, good little airshow, the "Just in Time" skydivers did a great demo in the morning, and the "Green Beret" jumpers did a great demo as well. jumpers are under canopy in the 3919.jpg. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i think you need to have a stiff one after a day of jumping...sleep it off...and then....drive home. just a sugestion. but wow, thats a loooong way to drive to a DZ. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i grew up in the 70s, the last of 8 kids (yes, my parents are catholic), and the recipient of years of garage sales, rumage sales, and other places to collect legos. my entire bottom drawer of my chest (about 4 ft wide) was full of legos, and we had some buckets of them too. i could build little apartment complexes, and put my hot wheels in the garage. hmmm, strange how i turned out to be a general contractor. i like building with legos better though, no city inspectors! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

thought you might like this website... http://electraflyer.com i fly a 2 seat trike that is powered by a rotax 582. I think my next trike will be one of these, no reason to have gas and noise when i fly solo. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I agree, I feel many many Americans treat Memorial Day, as just, a holiday...and think nothing of what it means. I have actually visited cemiteries on Memorial day...it really hits home, when you actually "remember"...and not just use the day to drink and party. I think, that's good, on your part. Actually visiting cemetaries and remembering those who died so we can continue to live our lives... free! I think about my late father and my other relatives, living and passed who fought in WW-II and Korea. Whenever I meet a person in the Armed Forces or out... I thank them. That is what Memorial Day is to me. On 9/11, I think about those innocent people who never saw it coming and the reality of our vulnerability. I just can't think of those days as a day to burn hot-dogs and get drunk. Yeah... I believe, we're on the same page. Chuck we are...i get goose bumps listening to stories of battles, of how they just got it done, because that is what you did. make me feel very lucky, small, and proud and the some time. when i complain about a hard day, or losing some $ on a job, it all pails in compersion to what some have done, and given to this country. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

no no no...you gotta keep the fake ones...thus ridding the ocean of silicone. i'll be happy to add to my collection.

if you do have it repaired...get it "boiled" out, this takes the built up debrie out, but then again, a new one is way to go, unless it is just a vein. oxy tourch and some brass is all you need. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

The scary thing is that he wasn't doing a long flight. Sometimes it's the short, routine flights (or hikes, etc) that require the survival gear... this is true...just last week, my instructor took off with a student..."back in 40 minutes" he says. well, he didnt come back on time...so we went out out after him, two trikes and a a ground search. no problems though, we spotted him becuase we knew where he was head back from. he was just taking longer to get back then usual, (headwind) and had turn down the radio due to static. we all do the check in/check out thing with each other...let someone know when we take off, and when we plan to land, and check in with cell phones and radios. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

the report said an emergency transmitter, so i just used the EPERB as an example. i hear ya on the frustration of beeing broken and stranded, there was an episode of "I shouldnt be alive" about an ultralight flyer in africa, going down and breaking both femars. He was rescued after several days in the bush. If I ever start doing long flights alone, I will be getting a emergency locator. I currenly fly only with other ultralights in a group, more fun that way, and "buddies" are a good idea. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I saw a report that the EPERB on this plane was set to go off with any severe impact or bump....but no signal has been recieved as of yet. Hope he is down safely. But being the guy he is, I would think he would know how to activate the EPERB manually. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
