    BWAHAHAHAHA!!! That, my friends, is a webmaster malfunction. He mistook PISA for Atair somehow. No, none of us here at Raeford do that website. Tony and Kate hire an outside contractor to maintain it. Really..... Chuck

    Right on, TJ. Yall need to come back soon so we can mix it up. Remember, you can sleep when you're dead. Chuck

    What's up, Rob? Tell everyone I said "howdy." Chuck

    LeRoy had left by then. That 4-way diamond was me, Jay, Drew, and Lou. Chuck

    They have a bunch of HoP 330's at ASC in Cedartown, GA. From what I saw last time I was there, they are great. In flight, as viewed from the ground, they are VERY eliptical. I saw a couple of big TM's jumping equally big passengers and landing them great. The guys I spoke to said that they seem to fly better at higher wingloads. Landings were done via stall surge method or a slight turn to final, then slid for a bit and popped to a stand-up like I normally do under a Sigma. Anyway, they are comparatively very inexpensive as a replacement main. This would be a good choice as a replacement for some operation that still has an old 360/360 Vector laying around. Chuck

    Negative. The higher you make the exit point, the higher the "low" guys will open and continue to hose those behind them when you (as per SOP) put people out in order of wingload (highest to lowest). The only real cure is to find out ahead of time who is going to drag ass, then put them out last. Believe me when I tell you that all these removable contraptions take a LONG time to stow. I will still always be a proponent of "disposable" PC/bridle/bag combos. Generally, while one might gain a fraction of a second in "speed" rounds, those systems were designed solely to aid in distance rounds. Chuck Chuck

    I don't like that, but it's how they have been shipping them for some time. Also, attached to the end of that bridle is a too-large-for-my-liking F-111 pilot chute. Do your crafty de-stitching and be happy. Chuck

    "I've got nothing to hide." One dude plays a retard, but he still gets laid by a female retard. Nothing like the stuff you can currently watch on channel 598 on your bootleg DSS.

    Lew is a goddess. A big, tall, goofy goddess. I am loving you both! CHuck

    No, that was Kris Kristopherson

    Nope. No "conehead kitty" device.

    OK, who is still coming from out of town? Chuck

    Yep, the system on a Crossbow might be "simple," but I really didn't like the way the handles got sucked up in the rig. I can't say that I would ever purchase on and not be concerned about just that flaw. Chuck

    Jay is right on target. If your gear works fine on standard skydives, but you are experiencing slow openings or spins, then you need the mods. He is also correct in that the problem might be totally in your head. Openings are the only thing about this that still sketches me out at times. One must absolutely have his shit together at pull time. Smooth is the key. If you are having problems down at the bottom, then you may want to do an entire flight where you do nothing but practice pulls. It is critical that you remain calm and symetrical at pull time. You might be the farthest flying person on the DZ, but if you can't tame the opening you are gonna, eventually, have a really bad experience. I can tell you that chops in your suit are not fun. Chuck

    I believe Brian Moffet has joined the squad. I like Muffin, he will represent them valiantly. I love you, man! Chuckie

    Save it and bring it home. We can feed it to Billy Bob; he will eat anything.

    Well, I brought Mr Kitty home today. He seems to be OK, but not really liking the whole "stay inside" deal. This ordeal, so far, has cost me 15 cents less than fifteen hundred bucks. It's all good. Kitty will be OK. Thanks for the support. As I have to keep him contained for three months, hopefully he won't hurt himself. Chuck

    I used to regularly ride my bike to the DZ, now I live here and I park my bike in the main hangar (right next to six others). Anyway, I never rode to the DZ with my bare rig on, but I know plenty who do or have done so in the past. None were ever extracted off the back of their skoots like you might see on Real TV. Generally, keeping your rig in a gear bag along with all your other accessories is smart. Chuck

    I will be competing under PD Velocities this year in sizes 75 and 79. I don't need to get into any political or financial discussions about it, but I chose that company because I have had a great deal of history under their mains (I have owned six) and I liked the way my buddy's Velocities fly. I am sure that I will have great results with their canopy over my head. Chuck

    Wendy, you poor, poor girl. You are certainly not the only person here who finds themself glued to a chair, tapping away at posts far too much in a day. Still, on a cold, rainy day like today, I find it enjoyable. Chuckie

    Kitty's leg was operated on last night. I guess it was rodded, pinned, and wired back together. I ought to hear something else later today.
