  1. Is psycho packing the same as trash packing? "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  2. I'M JUMPIN MY HINEY OFF!!! Got my new canopy and can't wait to fly it around! Oh, and probably partake in a glass or two of wine. heh I love weekends! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  3. Thanks for sharing and yes very touching indeed. "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  4. Morgan Freeman was really good and funny but I have to vote for George Burns! He had a bunch of great lines! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  5. Robert DeNiro was GREAT in Angel Heart (just thinking about that movie gives me shivers) but I'd also have to add Rosalinda Celentano in The Passion of the Christ. Her portral of Satan IMHO was OUTSTANDING! She gave me the "creeps"! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  6. The Pilot 168 - Pros: nice openings, on heading, decent toggle input, flater glide angle (compared to Spectre), inexpensive canopy, easy to find used ones, can get a new one (stock) quicker than a Safire2 stock canopy. Cons: flight characteristics were on the sluggish side. Just not that fun to fly. The Safire2 169 - Pros: nice openings, on heading, nice toggle input, flater glide angle (compared to Spectre), flight characteristics were more on the zippy side. Very fun to fly this canopy! Cons: hard to find used Safire2's, new ones are more expensive than a new Pilot and it takes 6 months to get a new Safire2. With all that being said, I bought a Pilot 168 to hone my flying and landing skills. My plan is to fly it then order a Safire2 in 6 months. This will give me a year on the Pilot 168 then I'll be downsizing to a Safire2 150. I think it depends on what you enjoy about the canopy. Do you love to fly the canopy or is it just to get you back to the ground? I'm glad I demoed so many canopies. I learned a lot! --just wanted to add both Aerodyne and Icarus have good reputations and good customer service! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  7. I'm with ya 100% now and always! Better safe than sorry. "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  8. ...while riding up to altitude really makes me nervous. I don't think it's a good idea for someone to invite a solo along and then change the dive plan literally in midair! How can that be successful if you haven't practiced? Do you think the nervousness will go away when I'm more confident in the randoms and exit positions? I don't want to be a party pooper!

  22. I agree with you in some ways. I've been "talked to" in everyway imaginable from joking to being screamed at! I've taken it all in stride, however, if a person continues to be dangerous, then I believe the S&TA should be the one doing the talking. "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  23. When any person is being dangerous, I agree 100% the S&TA and/or the DZM/DZO should discuss the matter with the person first and foremost. That's part of their job. "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  24. bisquick and hot... "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
  25. Thanks so so much! When I practice my flare I usually look up at the canopy but I will do it with my eyes closed and focus on the feeling. Yea! I love doing drills! Thanks for sharing! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore
