  1. I do not agree that 'all' ripcord assemblies built in the US are tested. The test req'ment being discussed is a design/first article test for application for a TSO-authorization. IMO (as a holder of 6 TSO's), there is no FAA req'ment to continue with any testing once the TSO-authorization is granted. I think too many users feel that all of their equipment is being tested regularly. Now, having said that, I also think that it would be foolish to not to continue to do random testing of items in/after production. Thoughts??????
  2. Jim Lowe was one of my best friends; both in jumping and in life. He was never a world champion; he got the classical shaft at the '70 World Meet by a French style judge or he would have been the Overall Champion and he came in 5th in Accuracy at the '74 World Meet (his last major competition) when they called the meet as he had moved up to first place at the time; another shaft Also, it was 'Sunny Jim' and not Sonny Jim. I think of him almost every couple of weeks or so; a great guy.
  3. In my opinion you should use a larger needle. I feel that this is a common problem when a needle that is too small is being used. A #22 is usually quite good for 'E' thread.
