The cost per year for this device, and the ease of maintenance make this a no brainer for me. I always recommend this product to my customers.

Well please hurry and put the correct manual on the website. As a rigger I can assure you my customers never supply me with the manual that came with their product. I always have to find the manual on my own.

Bubbles expand until they burst and leave a big mess behind.

Exactly, driverless autonomous cars are not really very useful unless they can be used by people who could not otherwise drive. That’s the whole point

Other than possibly navigating it to a safe stop, I strongly disagree. If the machine is going to operate the vehicle then it must do so at all times. There can only be one pilot in command.

What a great idea. When the weather conditions become the most difficult then the machine will shut down and leave control to the driver, who has not had any practice in good conditions and will now be expected to perform when things are at their worst. What could possibly go wrong?

I don’t have a lot of time to research right now. But start here and I’ll see if I can do better tomorrow. https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/08/22/how-anti-semitic-beliefs-have-quietly-taken-hold-among-some-evangelical-christians/?outputType=amp

The hate that the evangelical movement in America exhibits towards those who do not fit their version of “what god wants “ is always an inspiration to me. If you are angered by that it is on you, not me.

A nation of priests and lawyers, they both love technicalities.

This theory completely overlooks the true reason some people and some peoples are better off than others. God plays favourites. She especially favours delightsome peoples.

American evangelicals have a real soft spot for Israel. It's existence keeps so many Jewish people over there instead of over here!

I don't know what caused your malfunction, but tension knots are still a real possibility. That is the the nature of tension knots. Once you cut away the tension is released and so is the tension knot. Of course the other possibility is a line over. Do a careful examination of the topskin of the canopy to look for signs of line burn. The friction of a lineover will nearly always cause some damage.

That makes sense. It seems unlikely that someone would supply a new polymer just for them!

Now I feel bad because the record shows that you have given far more than you have received. This is starting to feel like Valentines Day in elementary school.

Store it packed in a cool dry place. That way the container protects everything thing. Some people say differently, but that’s what I advise as the safest.

Other than the fact that I don't really see that much point in them? I just looked and I see that my reactions given and received are almost equal 180-186. As ye sow so shall ye reap?

It would appear that the newer ZLX lines are made of a newer material rather than a different trim. http://www.flyaerodyne.com/canopies/zulu/

All it takes are the three As. Aptitude, which is pretty easy for basic skydiving. Attitude, which is required for both safety and learning. And Availability, which means enough time and money.

Thanks Jerry, you are of course correct.

If you like them so much just buy some. They are discontinued, but there are still plenty of new ones available.

We will not take the dotard when he shows up at the border looking for political asylum. And we aren't taking Beiber back either. Just sayin'.

Well, as far as I know impeachment is a political matter not a legal matter. So no, Congress is not a court and it is not a jury. BTW, Congress is elected on a two year cycle not a 4 year cycle. Representatives answer to their constituents. They may decide to go home and talk to the people before deciding, but they certainly don't have to. It's more like the House of Commons deciding if the PM still has the confidence of the majority of members.

Of course there is recourse, it's called an election.

I've never seen one. But it's apparently "German engineered and manufactured in the USA". It's TSO'd and therefore should be safe. (Many will laugh at that!) The website is here: https://www.flyfirebird.com/fb/canopies It is most likely a reliable product, but I will say one thing against it. That is simply that because it is not a well known product if you ever need to sell it you will probably have a hard time and you will find a limited market for it. Which means it will not hold it's value as well as a more common reserve. This is totally unfair, but there is no getting around it. Unless it is priced cheaper than other more well known canopies it is not in your financial interest to buy one. I can see at their website that they are offered big discounts to "influencers" in an effort to become established as a brand. They list the top high volume gear stores as dealers. Ask for a discount or just pass, the salesman is likely pushing you toward this brand because he will make more commission. All that said the product is probably just fine, and I would not hesitate to jump it. There is one review of it on this site under the "gear" heading. I just read the manual for the product. It is a poorly translated from German into English kludge. It also contains this nugget: 32. Allowable Service Life On the condition that the parachute is in accordance with the regulations and has been handled corresponding to the instructions contained in this Equipment Handbook, the allowable service life is 15 years and can be periodically be extended by the manufacturer This would seem to apply to the EVO container as well. There is no separate manual for the reserve canopy, just a combined manual. Until this company gets it's act together I would advise you and anyone else considering this product in North America to just say no thanks.

Now who you jivin' with that cosmic debris?
