    Well, Mustang 2s being gross looking hunks of crap, I could see how the owners of "Mustang 1s" might not want to be seen as predecessors.... hahaha
  2. LongWayToFall
    Uhhhhhhhh.................................... The fact that a Sabre 2 exists, would tend to suggest that there is a predecessor, ie Sabre 1. Simply stating "Sabre" could easily refer to either, hence it makes sense to clarify.

    260 Jumps and you are on a Stiletto and Katana? Damn dude. Put me down for bounce bingo! OP: Is the Sabre a Sabre 1 or 2? I have a 2, and it seems like the thing loves to open with one side (usually the left) with closed end cells, typically causing a mild diving turn on opening. I could see how line twists at just the right moment could make things interesting hahaha. Good work on chopping!

    Anybody check out the Eiger episode? The main guy in the show does his first skydive (AFF) and continues to do another 150 jumps, then does a base FJC, then jumps off the Eiger, all within a month and a half or so. Looks pretty dangerous, and exciting! Makes me want to do some balloon jumps!!!

    That was pretty funny! My bro and I were leaving a restaurant our friend works at the other day, and on the way out we looking into the local ice rink next door and there was some hockey going. Basically no fans, but we hung out for a few and made a bunch of noise when there was a goal. The players looked at us weird. Hahahaha. Hope you guys get to catch the Sharks opener, at noon tomorrow (today.... aka friday). We are playing overseas!

    Welcome back! I just did a few jumps last week after a few months off due to ankle surgery, boy it is nice to be airborne again. Yay for us!

    Man, usually I feel pretty busted after backpacking, not skydiving. Hopefully you are seeing the appropriate people about it. Hey, on the plus side, you might be able to watch some more sharks games!! GO SHARKS

    Yes I am very excited! Radials are very cool aircraft.
  16. LongWayToFall
    Yes, I did. Many aircraft listed may be operated without the door on, without an STC. For those aircraft, the new limits of the plane are listed in the aircraft flight manual, or pilot operations handbook. The Cessna 195 is not one of these, and requires an STC to be flown with the door removed. No other equipment needs to be installed, so it is just a paperwork issue. The bottom line, is that someone out there took the time and money to get the FAA to issue an STC for the plane to be flown with the door off. This was not Cessna. That person owns the STC, and it is possible that they would want to be compensated in order to use their STC. It is very possible that this is not the case however. I simply am looking for pilots who have gone through the paperwork for something like this.

    I posted this over on diverdriver, but figured I might get some good input here as well. A friend has a Cessna 195, that we are looking to take the door off of. (Not installing a jump door) I found the STC in AC105-2C, STC SA1966SW, but the FAA website does not list it anywhere. What is my next step for finding the owner of the STC? Also, if the STC is free to use, what sort of paperwork is involved with getting this done? Thank you!
  18. LongWayToFall
    Sweet, thanks!

    Are you out of your mind? Did you even read the article? I predict this going to SC soon.....

    Cool idea! I like it. Technically not space however, but great video footage
