  1. i know of at least 2 safire2s that blew up at SDC. rental gear. one was so loud i swore it was a gunshot. the diamond can not be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
  2. It only has relevance when manufacturers rules only matter in the US. Those rules dont apply/arent used in other countries. Its not a standardized system. Maybe it should be, but its not. UPT says that i should have a D to jump with tandems. Thats what i am working toward. Aussie rules dont require it. If they wish to jump here they most meet our requirements. Why are some holding them to our rules in thier home country? That is all. Carry on. the diamond can not be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.

  6. hmmm. if this is a similar setup i have seen flyers 15-20ft above the walls without the aid of wings. there is a crew traveling the U.S. with one of these mobile "tunnels" representing ARMY, Dos Equis, and other corporate sponsors. i have flown it in as well as my kids and the air is quite turbulent. still fun, but not a real training tool. the diamond can not be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.

  9. im starting a build for a hc-52 top mount box. i have a general idea of what i want to do but am confused on how to wrap my plug without getting any creases in the cloth. do you wrap all six corners at once leaving all seams on the bottom? do you have to make relief cuts in the cloth? thanks for any info and please feel free to pm me. the diamond can not be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
