From 5 posts above yours..... "Tempos were redesigned in 2001 to add more reenforcement to the canopy and that incrreased the pack volume for canopies made after that date." t It's the year of the Pig.

We are gathered here this..........to unite this man................and this woman................... in the bonds of holy matrimony which is an honorable estate. Into this, these two now come to be joined. If anyone present can show just and legal cause why they may not be joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace. Who gives this woman to this man? (MAN), will you have this woman as your lawful wedded wife, to live together in the estate of matrimony? Will you love her, honor her, comfort her, and keep her in sickness and in health; forsaking all others, be true to her as long as you both shall live? (I will). (WOMAN), will you have this man as your lawful wedded husband, to live together in the estate of matrimony? Will you love him, honor him, comfort him, and keep him in sickness and in health; forsaking all others, be true to him as long as you both shall live? (I will). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE RING BEHOLD the symbol of wedlock. The perfect circle of love, the unbroken union of this man and this woman united here today. May you both remain faithful to this symbol of true love. Please join hands and repeat after me (man first, while placing ring on proper fingers). I,................, take................as my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. I,..................., take...................as my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For as much as..............and ................have consented together in wedlock, and have witnessed the same before this company of friends and family, and have given and pledged their promises to each other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands. By the authority vested in me by............................. I pronounce this couple to be husband and wife. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seems pretty clear to me. 4 times it says "Not forever." My 1st rig never lasted forever - but I'm still skydiving! t It's the year of the Pig.

I have those several times a day. t It's the year of the Pig.

Cordura knees and butt are options for Pantz. They're great for Tandems - same leg power mentioned for AFF. t It's the year of the Pig.

I'm guessing the women will be giving you plenty of room at the next few boogies after a comment like that. t It's the year of the Pig.

If they're using the front door, exit will be the same as any other Cessna's, like 182's, 206's or 210's. If they're using the cargo door exits are from the right, and can be dived, poised or any other config. t It's the year of the Pig.

I don't like them. I think they're an extra snag point. Maybe that's cos I'm an old CRW dog, but the idea freaks me out. My Mirage G4 MT has the Elasitcated lumbar supprt, which I think is a lot more comfortable than cut in lats, with a fraction of the risk. t It's the year of the Pig.

I have a little over 100 dives in mine. Build quality is superb, with not a single lose thread showing yet. I use them mainly for AFF and they have MASSIVE leg power when the student is behaving like an evaluator. I'm always dialed right back on tracking dives. They really do move, but without the physical load that booties give you. I've managed flat fall rates with light AFF students on 103 MPH and sub 100 when tracking. In a sit they're happy at 150 mph. I like that range. t It's the year of the Pig.

From what I've seen of the way you fly your GTi, you should have no technical hassles with the Sugarglider. It's just a case of finding what you want out of a wingsuit. I'm guessing though, that with your bodytype, you're going to get some serious time up there! t It's the year of the Pig.

It should be fine then, but remember there are other ways to wear it out, like sitting in the plane, losing it on landing, etc. Spandex tends to get wrinkly when the elastic starts to go. By the way - it's good to see people being proactive about the maintenance of their gear. t It's the year of the Pig.

$2.66 per Gallon... and I'm in Africa. Fill up once a week for $36.00. (Less than what I get paid for an AFF dive) It's the year of the Pig.

Other components, like a Cypres, have time/number of jumps type limits. I'm not much of a gambler. I tend to replace things a little on the early side. My rule of thumb with things like this is.. "If you need to ask the question, you probably already know the answer." t It's the year of the Pig.

Good to know. I worry that some people making these things don't understand the concept of low weight. t It's the year of the Pig.

What about their high incidence of built in turns? I have 4 reserve rides on Tempo's. 2 had built in turns. My GF has 1 reserve ride on a Tempo. Also a built in turn. We both jump PD reserves now. She's on a PD 113 R, me on a PD 126R. It's the year of the Pig.

Yeah, but mistakenly so. t It's the year of the Pig.

I'm stuck with an image of choppers being bulldozed off carriers to make room for others to land.. It's kinda difficult claiming victory there, and half of these (primarily American) voters think it'll go that way. I agree that nomatter what, the US will "win" in Iraq. There's no massive force to come charging in from the North to force them to run away. I think it'll more be a case of being really, really unpleasant to stay - and so they won't. t It's the year of the Pig.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess that gear will be staying on the shelf until this is resolved. t It's the year of the Pig.

Wow. Over half think this hasn't even started. And you lost in Vietnam. Is this still worth it if you lose? t It's the year of the Pig.

What form does "With Authorisation" take? A phone call with "Sure dude, go ahead." ? Or is it more formal than that? What do I have to go on as an AFF instructor when I'm asked to do AFF with a student who's rig has been modified? The rig in question had velcro added to the tuck flap of the Main pin cover to prevent it blowing up in a sit. This contributed to a pilot chute in tow malfunction. t It's the year of the Pig.

We had an incident here last year where the reserve flap of a container had been modified with velcro to make the rig more "freefly friendly." What work can be done on a rig by a rigger or Master rigger that does not void the TSO? What are they allowed, or not allowed to modify? t It's the year of the Pig.

With you there. t It's the year of the Pig.

Time will tell.. What's inside the monkeyfist to make it so light? t It's the year of the Pig.

I got my G4 with a split bag. It worked fine and still does. My new G3 bag has no split. It works fine. I think if you have your packing technique down, the non split bag is just one less step. If you're still at the point where you lose control of the packjob as it goes in the bag, the split bag is the way to go. t It's the year of the Pig.

I couldn't help myself! She had an accent! t It's the year of the Pig.

Hate to point out the obvious, but if he's English - that's not an accent. It's English. You're the one with an accent. t It's the year of the Pig.
