  3. how hard ? honestly ? waw, it's just writing twice your data and dates etc (H/C and Reserve), more or less every 4 years on the AAD card, and almost never on the main. You just write down whenever you perform work on it. Like that there is a "better information" in case of resale of the gear. If you can't write, buy yourserlf a rubber stamp, or hire a secretary.
  4. the french have 4 separate cards -H/C -Reserve canopy -Main Canopy -AAD there is sometimes a cross reference (depending on who issues the cards) on the H/C card to state which components are inside scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  6. it was a nylon thread which broke at around 10lbs... plus there wasn't even a seal of any kind and I am not commenting on the packjob which was clearly not anywhere close to any manual I have ever seen... fortunately, the rigger left all his contacts with the data cards. Will give him a call scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  7. If you are out of red seal thread, it is better IMO to leave the rig unsealed (specially in countries where it is not mandatory ) rather than to improvise some seal thread with 8 turns of an other thread. Reached over 25kg/50lbs pull to move the pin and open the reserve scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  8. which is in France (not everybody knows where the Vercors is, and many of them will not even Google it) The video misses shots from the outside, in my opinion. But it is sweet to see different ways of flying scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

    if you are looking into european suits, I can recommend the Sonic Basic (or similar from other manufacturers, but I am partial to Sonic) http://sonicflywear.com/en/products/category/1-free%20fly which is more than enough for beginning (and progressing), a coupl eof years ago these "basic" suits were World Champion scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  12. you like free stuff don't you ? As I read you, you would want other people to MAKE EFFORTS and WORK A LOT to provide free stuff ? I like your kind of communism. Once you get the free stuff, could you print it out and mail it to me ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  13. doing it with duct tape would be more realistic scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  14. sometimes you can't just add days to the calendar. Sometimes you don't want to work with "other" instructors... But you could go to Sweden and cater for their needs, seems you already have a business plan scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  15. Samhadi, go build your helmet and tell us honestly what it cost you in money and time, and how much you evaluate your hourly work time. A tenth would hardly be the raw material. Plus the tooling and accessories, plus the time. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  17. I pull my cellphone out, video it, upload the vid on youtube, post it on my Facebook profile to make it viral... and then file a complain to the FAA in order to make medical checks more difficult. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
