    skyhook

    Isn't that true of any canopy transfer? What is it about adding a skyhook that you think makes the transfer more dangerous? Owned by Remi #?
  2. Good for you. All you're missing is the "man up and go do it yourself" part then, huh? Owned by Remi #?

    skyhook

    I agree with what you've said about chopping below 1000' but... the question you quoted was regarding why a skyhook makes a canopy transfer more dangerous. I'm still interested in hearing the answer to that question. Owned by Remi #?
  4. Why not just get youself a nice, big gun and bandit jump into Iran? If you're so anxious for people to die then man up and get busy. Owned by Remi #?
  5. No it isn't. The Coach rating requires a B license. AFF requires a C, Static Line requires a C. The Pro rating requires a C. Tandem requires a D Owned by Remi #?

    I can't argue that. Your position is very well stated. Owned by Remi #?
  9. 2500 is the lowest I've done so far and I'm not enthusiastic about doing it again. I spent too many feet trying to unravel my pilot chute from my ankle to call that one a fun jump Owned by Remi #?

    "obviously" ? Humor me here. Under a grand when is it "obviously" not better to add nylon? Owned by Remi #?

    Having to chop? Have you ever considered adding your reserve instead? Owned by Remi #?

    skyhook

    If you're in the shit at 700 feet you should follow EPs and open your reserve. I think it's clear that billvon was referring to "do not cutaway below" decision altitude when he said that. Owned by Remi #?

    skyhook

    How so? If you open your reserve without cutting away, the skyhook will disengage and the reserve pilot chute will deploy the reserve. At that point what's the difference? Owned by Remi #?
  14. That sounds so good. Off to the store... Thanks Owned by Remi #?
  15. And you don't share recipes Owned by Remi #?

  17. Draining the corn and then adding water seems like a huge waste of natural resources. Owned by Remi #?
  18. They are both television news broadcasts that have been converted to a compressed digital format and published to Internet web sites. Also see: http://www.youtube.com http://www.skydivingmovies.com This kind of visual manifestation of information is a pretty common occurance around the area I live in, particularly in the colder months. That's my abbreviated scientific explaination of the videos. Owned by Remi #?
  19. That looks like a great program. I did something similar trying to teach myself how to integrate google maps with asp.net. You just center the map on your desired landing spot and enter the wind conditions and it draws a box around the area that you should be able to exit and make it back from. It also estimates group separation. I used pretty simple estimate only calculations because I was more interested in getting the map to work properly than actually using it, but fine tuning the math wouldn't be very hard. I can get the website back up if anyone is interested in taking a look. I was going to ask Kallend if I could include his exit separation program on the site as well but I never got around to finishing it Owned by Remi #?

  24. Seriously, sorry. I think those things are pretty dangerous. Maybe hooking up with someone who knows how to make one and knows the risks, in person, would be a good idea. Owned by Remi #?
