That sucks what do they expect people to do while they wait for their aad for 3 months.

Yea that is what they are on. I will have a knife handy if I ever use them.

That is line of sight, no trees, bushes, hills, houses. Any of the such is a signal killer.

Nice talking to you this weekend. John was out of it really bad lol. See you in a few weeks!

I was going through the pantry and caught a evil chocolate bunny starting at me with his not so evil twin next to him!!!! How freaky that it melted that way with the eyes both looking to the right and that smirk on his face.

Mine reaches 1150 feet

1:2:3 1 2 rw jumps 3 first line twist(with broken steering), first jump on canopy, first 10 second head down exit.

Jump# 9 and Jump #11 my next jump is #13! I have had a mal every other jump so far. It will be a bit interesting let me tell ya

Yea well there were some ''Problems" found with that canopy especially the slider that could have been found with a routine check at pack time. That is another story. The line was 2 jumps new and already fuzzy burned. The chop chop thing was considered at 2.8k. I looked down at the ground(damn it looked close), looked up at the canopy and said to myself it's not worth it to chop a perfectly good flying canopy just to try and hope the reserve works so I can have toggles to land with. PLF saved my bottom from another month of tailbone pain....or maybe it was the fact that I landed in the grass instead of the taxiway this time lol

Good lord that is a long time. I have found other places that are certified to do the work. This place in sweeden shows 100$ to calibrate and test it.

Attached is a drawing of how I saw a dual pin reserve hooked up. It seems to me this is wrong. The puller is only held on the pin by being over the pin, and stopping at the pin/cable connection. With the puller being hooked up to only the first pin that way, if the unit is activated and the puller pulls the first pin out it is then free to slip off the pin b/c the pin can swing out to the side allowing it to fall off before it completely pulls the bottom pin out. Unless the cables are the exact same length, or the bottom pin is shorter allowing it to come out first is the only way this can work. I am not a rigger, but is this right, or should the puller be attached on both pins?

I realize the object is to hit the mark, but I was told when landing hard you loose 60% of your strength when your feet and legs are not together.

Ok so the fxc/pia website was correct. Not much of a site if you ask me. Thanks for the info.

(Please do not start a FXC Bitch session) I bought a FXC for my first rig DOM (9-80) last calibration (6-96) for 70 bucks. It needs to go back to the factory, but I cannot find where to send it back. I checked the internet, and found 3 sites that seem to be the FXC home page, but are very shadey, and looks like it was coppied off of some other page. Also the rig I bought (MT1-XX) had the military add installed(main automatic ripcord release FF-2?). Are these worth a crap, or available to civilians? So I have to get the FCX installed into my rig. From this point I realize that I need to get it factory calibrated/tested, the 2 pin puller for the end of the cable, the mounting plate for the outside of the puller cable to mount to, and a owners manuel. Is there anything else that I will need before I bring it to my rigger. I am only using this rig for about 100 jumps, then I am buying a sport rig.

I would like to thank everyone out there involved this weekend, great view from down on the ground. I have never seen Crew before and to watch a double otter load of a crew formation from the ground was a SPECTACULAR sight!! The jambalaya and beer was great after a day of jumping also!

Ok so my new risers have trim tabs on the front risers, looks like a cool thing. I can't wait to try them out. Is there any thing I need to know about them? Other than pulling them down and setting them up high for a faster decent, when do you use them? Tabs are mainly CREW thing right? I got them from a friend to replace my broken risers, so I didn't specifically order them to be on there.

I owe more beer than I can fit into the bed of my truck! Jump 11, 2 way with a floaty bastard to work on fall rate, pull at 4k bam! line twists(FIRST). Ok I kick out of them think to myself if that is all line twists are about I got that. Go to release brakes and the right brake line must have gotten tired and went home B/C it the toggle came off in my hand along with 3 feet of line. I said self this is the second time this has happened(jump 9) and last time it sucked. Canopy not in need of chopping. So at 2.8k I zipped the ripcord into my jump suit and warmed up for the rear riser workout. I staged near final about 200 yards from the LZ not wanting to do a full pattern and wear my self out noticed I was not getting hardly any penetration and started final at 1000k. Did about 5 rear riser flares and thought this is going to be better than last time. Came in about 75 yds from flag and rear riser flared the shit out of it and did a PLF. Felt like I fell off the couch, NICE! I am not worried about rear riser landings any more. Looked at my neptune I slowed myself down 17 miles an hour! woo hoo I went from 149 mph to 132 mph. Ok so I got back at the dz and took the busted canopy off the student gear and put my new huge ass camouflage canopy on their gear and went and jumped it for the first time(FIRST). 2 way with not so floaty bastard and canopy deployed so soft I teared up. This thing turns like a race car 2'' toggle pull and it starts turns, not like the other one that required a foot in the toggle to get it to turn. Flare was like mmmmmmm that is what a flare is. The student canopy likes to take it's time even thought they are the same type and size, mine is new. So it was a line twist, new canopy, first post aff coach jump, second rear riser flare(forgot to buy the first time), first personal add bought. CANT WAIT TO BE THERE NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!

Must have benn my AOHELL at work, your avitar disappeared right after the posts. I thought it was cruel joke played by you, but it was the yellow guy from aol lol

Thanks, I think I managed the splints problem, and I am running on new balance shoes loaded at 1.47:1 shoe loading I replace them every 100 jumps or 4 months.

OMG it disappeared!

Is that a M249 or a M240? I second the motion that avitar is HOT!

He still has reccords to sell so she is just a cover to keep his secret man love under wraps.

What's that? I know Homo, Hetero, Trans, Bi, but what is metro? Is that a subway thing?
