  1. I think you're referring to a horseshoe mal. You'd throw your PC so that the main doesn't hang up when/if you have to cutaway.
  2. If you want someone to turn the tv off, why not just tell them to turn the damn tv off? Or turn the power off?
  3. An Access database could be set up pretty easily.
  4. Why would it not be OK with R-Slinks? -Blind With a PD Reserve it'd be ok, but I'm not sure about using PD Slinks on an Aerodyne reserve, etc.
  5. Yes, the previous owner had a 210 but downsized to a 190 shortly before selling. I checked the d-bag, its tight but definitely not a brick. Well, If you can pack a brand-new Sabre2 190 into it, I don't think you'll have any trouble getting a 210 with a few hundred jumps into it.
  6. Are you planning on putting a 210 in it? As far as the demo canopies go, the ones I had from PD weren't too bad to pack at all. They looked pretty new but had enough jumps on them to not be slippery.
  7. I'd say give the Firebolt a try as well. I put a few jumps on one this last weekend and was quite pleased with it. It flew pretty similar to the Sabre2, but the openings were better, although it was more sensitive to body position. Having tried the Sabre2, Safire2, Silhouette, and Firebolt I'm most pleased with the Firebolt, but I'd be happy to fly any of them anytime.
  8. Whats your current canopy and what are you getting?
  9. Canopy and risers.. use your own dbag and PC.
  10. Either should be Ok (unless you're tallking about reserve links). You could reuse the ones you have if they're in good shape. With only 100 jumps they should be fine. If there's any doubt, just have your rigger look at them
  11. If you don't trust a police officer enough to carry a gun, why are they trusted enough to be a police officer anyway?
  12. It doesn't happen too often here where nearly all officers have firearms, and seeing as how they were both shot, worrying about their guns ending up on the street is kind of a moot point.
  13. I put a few jumps on a Firebolt this weekend. It seemed to fly alot like a Sabre2. The flare was similar, although the Firebolt had a slightly longer recovery arc and was more sensitive to body position on opening. Front and rear riser pressure seemed a little bit lighter as well.
  14. Did you ask them what about the weather made it bad? they talked to my cousin she handnt called them back yet Call them and ask them why the weather is bad, and why it would prevent you from jumping. (Specifically winds, rain, etc..)
  15. I've got both and I prefer the step through. The B-12's are convienent, but I like not having to worry about the snaps with the step-through harness.
  16. I've met people that love Cobalts. Telling someone that everything from a particular manufacturer sucks just because you don't like them isn't right. Edit: That being said, the whole 1.2-1.4 beginner thing w/cobalts is nuts.
  17. umm, wow Something tells me this kind of service isn't going to be providing 'relationships' as we know them She was on the radio here in Dallas today promoting her new "business".
  18. Ford or Chevy? If it's Ford, good luck getting anything fixed under warranty. My brother has a 2001 Ford Lightning that needed a new engine 2 years ago (after 29000 miles on the original ). It took a year and a half and a lawsuit to get it fixed.
