If acrobatics is gonna be your bag, I'd suggest also considering the Phoenix-Fly Acro and Birdman Phi. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Are you going to scare her on a hop & pop again? HAHA! Hey! it was supposed to be a surprise!! I forgot all about that... that was like 200 jumps ago! Let's hope we are not limited to H&Ps tho.

What I heard is something like higher temps evaporate more water, putting more water vapor into the atmosphere, this water vapor is what fuels hurricanes because it promotes temperature differentials. That's why hurricanes are prevalent in tropical areas only. That's MBG (my best guess). "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

Ya, you should come out tomorrow, hopefully the 206 will be flying. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Was she overloading it? I don't see the reason to expect a reserve to blow up on a regular terminal opening (120 )? Aren't reserves supposed to be reliable for regular terminal speeds??

Should AADs be redesigned for swoopers?
tr027 replied to riddler's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
FXC Expert, also known as Astra. And no, I've never had a single problem with it (I get asked that sometimes). The switch is mounted on my right MLW, so I choose which jumps I need it for (which is most) and turn it on accordingly when getting in the plane and then off after opening. Sure it's not fashionable anymore to have an AAD in view, but I don't care. Of course, anything's possible, so presumably it's possible a jumper in freefall could fall through my canopy and possibly knock me U/C and it would also be an unrecoverable entanglement... guess that's just an inherent risk? So with this in mind I would probably not turn it off right away on a big-way, but then again I wouldn't be swooping if there's that much canopy traffic.

tr027 replied to riddler's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I turn off my AAD as part of my post-opening sequence, so it will never be any issue at all. I'd imagine swoopers would want the same type of control located on the MLW somewhere, in order to completely eliminate this issue.

I can't open it with Media Player 10 or Quicktime, or RealPlayer... likely need a different file format. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

I have to second that (or 3rd/4th?). Put 3 jumps on mine today, and the first thing I noticed was the drive, very nice. The construction is top notch also. I feel I will need more time than you did on it to realize its potential due to my limited experience in general, but it's still very fun. A VERY big thank you goes to Robi, James, Robert & Kathy, and the entire PF team for this suit. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

Mine worked fine first time, on Firefox/WinXP. What about the user manuals for the new suits that are shipping? I'm sure they are included in the shipment, but as far as the website goes.

On a Xaos 88 I can still get both S folds in. Perhaps on canopies smaller than this though only the staking fold is done. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

What I'm curious of is how much less likely is it that a Skyhook will contribute to a fatality than an RSL (or at all?). From watching the video the Skyhook seems alot safer than an RSL, in that it appears to handle a wider range of mals safely.

To me that would be having my own private DZ, to eliminate politics. If I ever get rich I'll have one too. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

So what was the fix?? new container or not? what is the true size range of a W9?? I've looked online for a size chart online but havent found one yet. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Well, I was originally gonna go with hire an animal psychologist, but after carefully inspecting the photos, I think the .22 long rifle would serve you better in this case. You can tell he's a hardened repeat offender with a diligent squirrel terrorist campaign. You need to take him out before he trains up the rest of the pack to bring down your whole fleet, assuming he's working alone at this point. Good luck.

Yea, the 2nd season DVD set is a must-have. The jury selection skit, the gameshow, and the oprah skit were just a few of the really good ones. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

That was my point, if you say Freefly handle there is no confusion what it is and distinctly differentiates it from hackey, without adding confusion over deploy method. That's all I had to say about that and will now return to this thread's regularly scheduled programming topic. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

Really? From the Skydiving Glossary Aha, tricky, you almost got me there, had me going at first. No, because in this context (which the original post established is not relating to pull-out deployment method) the term doesn't apply.
