    I've seen it and they didn't crash...but it was funny seeing the reserve pilot chute pop on the one guy that rode it down.....scary to see...but I bet it was a fun ride. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    I know that someone eener...i thought it was two plus years and I know it was a velocity. that was a nice slow snivel I'm sure Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    and at Kris's sit fly speeds...OUCH...but much better than a nasty horsey playing around back there. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    this was exactly my first concern. I can get over the not having an RSL thing. whatever different strokes for different folks. I just dont see it being a good idea for someone who may have not had a malfunction yet to get a reserve pillow. that is just not good juju. you can always change to one later on if that is what you want to do.

    oh yeah....tons of time for a couple of points....although I'm a freeflyer. I do tend the exit HD off the step of the 182 then track off. it is all good fun Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    it looks like "holy" cordura....that tough but almost a plastic like feeling to it. I have never seen the Base version so maybe they are using that type. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    here are some pics chuck, it is like a heavy duty mesh of some type. definately different than the ones I looked at at the convention. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    standby let me take a pic and show ya....it is not that white fabric mesh it is this heavy duty stuff. I mean it is thick big time. too bad it doesn't fit me. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    Thanks problem passed on and they are working on it. it is nice to work with a great company like that. the pantz are cool looking though. when did they change the front vent materials? Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  13. skymedic
    only safire 1 and omega are effected by the different sizing....all other canopies are same measurements as PD Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    What is interesting is I came from very large turbine DZ's in both FL and then chicago. to go to archway and make a jump out of the C182 at 3500 was nuts....NOW I LOVE IT...half my jumps are hop n pops. love to work on my canopy skills and just like the little bird. good fun for sure. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    if the propwash from a cessna 182 is what is "opening" your canopy....you didn't clear before you pitched..... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    I'll take the Pac over the Caravan I jump regularly any time. I loved it...even when it was loaded. it is tight...for sure. but still I liked it. windows are WAY cool too!!!. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    wouldn't work on a wing suit like it does on a canopy. as it is the loaded ribs that are cross braced on a canopy. it helps make the wing more rigid this way. there isn't a similar loading like that on a wing suit. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    exactly what I do chuck...and my shit never ever moves. unless I have lots of fiber.but the slinks stay put after setting them my self. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  21. skymedic
    I've installed several sets of slinks now and have never had this issue with them. I seat them backinto the riser and pull hard from both directions to help them get there seat before I jump em....works for me. this is not to say that you havn't done this also. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    I have every CD that Wilco has produced.....EVERY CD...even there free EP they gave away online a while ago. I also have every CD produced by Uncle Tupelo...another great band. and also every CD from Son Volt(Jay Farrar's band after the UT split). I'd love to call these guys alt-country...but it is SOOOOO not alt country. also YHF is THE wilco album...then I'd take AM followed by being there...it is a ROCKING album with out all the sound manipulation that is very evident on the summerteeth album. they protooled the hell out of that one...too it's dismay in my opinion. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    Brian G. told me that at Rantoul and I have yet to be convinced that this happens. and even if it does how much will that really affect canopy flight. HOW does spectra go out of trim if it has not been heated. I just dont see repeated openings causing that. and personaly when my line set get's changed I change my slinks and my slider all in one. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

    umm....we do not use a trocar...I use a scalpel...then place the airway and secure. I have been using this procedure since 1993. we have a very advanced and progressive EMS system. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  25. skymedic
    yes it is...but it is NOT onthe market in the states yet. I didn't say it wasn't on the market...just that you can not get it here in the states yet. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
