  1. say hi to Pat for me, I videoed him (and his team) at Pops World Meet in Switzerland 6 years ago. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=69298; scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  2. shoot a PM to BKR here, he is the owner, he is legit and a good person. He also has a good history of solving problems. I didn't go through all your post, but I bet he will get you a satisfactory answer.
  3. go to Skokie and buy for 1 million dollarzz stuff from Paragear. NOW. Please. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  4. soooo... we did the pull test, got 18kg... which is a couple ounces short of 40 pounds. Will be sending a message to the loft. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  5. thanks for trying scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  6. or maybe (I didn't see the possibility above) to attach the slider to the canopy for some additional slider control on opening. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  7. it was all for now.. Decided to open that packjob and redo it... And decided to do a pull test. The pull force to start moving the reserve pin was 32lbs. Didn't open it. Will be checking tomorrow with another rigger, much more experienced than I am. As I am a junior senior rigger, I will enjoy having help on that one.... And will be glad if the explanation is that my technique for the pull test was incorrect. Otherwise I guess I will ask the rigging loft who did that a full refund. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  8. yes I have seen them together in the same room
  9. does anybody have a manual for a GQ250 ? Not for jumping, just instructional scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  10. Question more specifically for European riggers, where do you order your supplies from ? Tape & webbing ? Thread ? Fabric ? (Cordura, ZP etc...) Hardware ? Plastics and foams ? Do you order from the US or do you have better/cheaper possibilities in Europe ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  11. no credit card either.. I sometimes borrow my brother's, or pay cash scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  13. until you drunk dial them, and then you really sound like a nigerian scammer scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  14. not very big, very handy for pulling on loops etc scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  15. whatever use you can find... "my" rigger uses it to out tension on loops, to pull stuff through holes and grommets etc. !! must NOT be used as a temp pin !! as it is pretty short and you couldn't really FLAG it, it could be easily forgotten. another advantage if you are really cheap, you can always steal it from your granny's knitting kit scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  16. how twitchy ? what gear, and what is the condition of your PC ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  17. do you think you still have a decent slider control and general fabric control with your packjob in your dbag ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  18. if the canopy is already half deployed in your container, it might cause bizarre openings indeed scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  19. Just WAW. Congrats to father and son. That must be a cool story to tell at school
  20. CHEAPER TICKETS scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  21. crossfire is a great canopy, but a "bad school" in case you want to change, as anything you do would give you a good opening (except removing the slider maybe) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  22. and people who are enthusiastic for cool tools
  23. so did they get all oiled up and had good sexy time ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
