    I've got a new SE Dual Hawk Tandem passenger harness and the back diagonals slip with any upward pressure on the harness. We contacted Strong and they said they had not heard of that issue but said to send it down and they would investigate and correct the problem. SkydiveAllegan.com

    This is Michigans newest Dropzone; Skydive Plainwell. (Sometimes when I load the .kmz file, I get double labels on all the placenames. Anybody know why?) SkydiveAllegan.com

    No. Once someone is cleared to self-jumpmaster it is assumed that they know how to take care of themselves. Checking the gear prior to putting it on is part of taking care of one's self. The operative word(s) here being: "Self-Jumpmaster". If someone else were responsible for for checking your gear/spot/exit/body position/etc... it wouldn't be "self" now would it? SkydiveAllegan.com

    Hmmm, I must say that that's the first time I've actually stuck in there long enough to wade through RealXtremes horrid user interface. That's five wasted minutes of my life I'll never get back... It did clear up the questions I had about the exit you were talking about though. SkydiveAllegan.com

    I have the exact same issue with a TRV22 and a Sony lens. It started when we got a stretch of hot and humid days and the camera was kept locked up in a trailer. Cleaning, taping, and/or removing the lens did little to alleviate the issue. I take the tape out, leave the tape door open and put it out in the sun to air out for a while and the problem goes away.

    I don't ever "hook" their legs. The closest I get to that is if in droguefall their legs are off to one side of mine, I'll "scoop" them back in between mine or reach down and push them with my hand into a more normal position. I don't ever hold their legs with mine though. If we are in a turn I'll compensate with my body position unless it gets to be too bad at which point I'll release the drogue a little earlier. I've noticed that these turns tend to happen more often when there is a camera in their face, so they're probably focusing more on the camer than on a relaxed arch. If they pull their knees up on exit and overrotate us (back flips from 182) I'll just hold it a little longer until I have more airspeed to work with before throwing the drogue. Works for me...

    I know it's an old thread but... Anybody have any updates or suggestions on low cost DZ management software?

    Take the address "www.x-shut.com", and Google it. It will give you the option to "translate this page". It actually does a decent job at it. SkydiveAllegan.com
