    Thanks for the heads up. Just wondering, what tipped you off that this was a scam? (looks relativly legit to me....)

    move the bookshelf in front of the door, unplug your fone, and turn off your e-mail. You'll increase your productivity exponentially.

    humm, i thought the trashpack was simply that you didn't flake the inside of the canopy. I thought you were always supposed to clear the stabilizers to prevent line burns..??
  9. MrBrant
    Shouldn't you also clear your stabilizers?

    There's also a picture set in the Icarus canopies website. ( http://www.icaruscanopies.aero ) Click on the Safire, then at the bottom of the safire page, there will be a link on packing the safire or something. Oh, and Ask a rigger [url]

    thanks for posting. very interesting info. They did a bit on discovery channel explaining it, but I only caught the last 5 minutes - enought to see the huge-assed dryers they use to dry the parachutes. (they're bigger than my house)

    It will be funner. (Yes, I made up that word) It will be quite a change (in a good way) going from student gear, to sport gear. Your instruct-er-ators will give you all the info you need. Just remember to be careful. Have fun with your Spectre

    I'm guessing (completly and utterly) that they're worried about the cypres re-calibrating itself to below DZ level, then not firing in time? that doesn't have anythign to do with the arming does it? or am I way off base here?

    It's even funner if you do it AT 3-4000 ft.
  20. MrBrant
    Yeah, even if you must do a 3500 one to get your A, doesn't mean you can't do a few up higher to get a feel for them. Personally, I love endidng the day with a nice relaxing no-stress hop & pop. Where you don't have to work on anything, just get out, and pull. Then ride into the sunset Plus, If it's a cloudy day (like almost every weekend this year ), as long as the clouds are at 2500ft (or higher) - at least I can get a skydive in - even if I don't get the chance to work on any FF skills. Good luck, and have fun

    a few years back, in high school - we were building these "robots" for electronics class (yeah - i was a geek. not a nerd - cuz nerds are smart) Anway, my buddy asked me how he shoudl go about putting a square hole in his chassis (read: metal box). I told him to just grab the square drill bit. he spent about an hour looking for it
