    It looks like a great system. The only thing that would worry me is that the line stows are on the closing flap. I would be worried pre-mature bag opening, or line dump.(am I seeing that right?) How do ya like it Johnny?

    Sounds like fun. I live in the Carolinas and have been wanting to plan a road trip down through Florida hitting all the DZ's that I haven't been to yet ending up in Key Largo for a day or two of diving, then working my way back home. The ultimate vacation. How do ya like it Johnny?

    Myself and a group of people from my home dz go there for the memorial day boogie and make beach jumps for 4 straight days. This May will make my 6th year. I personally think that jumping into the Flora-Bama is the best kept skydiving secret of all time. DON'T TELL ANYBODY! How do ya like it Johnny?

    The one of very few times that I didn't reconnect them, I also didn't remove the ripcord housing from the student harness. When we landed the grommet peice with the harness attachment clip (On the student ripcord housing) pulled off. Since then I started disconnecting the student ripcord housing, put the ripcord in it and attach it to my harness all under canopy. Saves a little bit of time. How do ya like it Johnny?

    Jumpsuits and frap hats. If I have a student that has trouble lifting their legs. I tell them to reach down and pull up on the leg grippers. How do ya like it Johnny?

    "Unless you are, or know, an electronic whiz - forget it. If it doesn't have an external jack for some type of remote you have to open the camera up and re-wire and circuit the switch." I did it witih a canon sure shot 35mm. I wonder if it is possible with a digital. If I screwed up the sure shot, I was only out $35 though. How do ya like it Johnny?

    Hang with your friends from the rails underneath. When you get tired just let go. (ever seen the movie "Lost Boys") When you let go, pull your feet up and fall away butt to earth and watch the copter go shooting up. How do ya like it Johnny?

    I have had two cut-away reserve pulls on my javelin. One malfunction was a high speed the other was a slow speed. Everything worked fine. How do ya like it Johnny?

    I have three. I for accuracy/demos, one for birdman jumps, and one with a crossfire that works great for video. My goal is to have ten rigs, so I can make ten jumps at the DZ rather quickly, take them all home and pack them in climate controlled comfort. I doubt that day will ever come though.

    I did it. I opened it up and soldered my jack into it. It was very hard to do. (You have to find VERY small wire to get it to fit) The wires are soldered to the circuit board under the button. I ran the wires from the circuit board under the lense to the jack that I installed above the flash. Also, there is no room for the jack. I had to bend it and cut it to make it fit without shorting out the flash capacitor. The flash capacitor by the way will shock the ever-livng piss out of you. If I were to do another one, I would run the wires out externally to a female jack outside the camera and just tape it somewhere. When taking pictures in freefall you have to turn the flash off, it takes too long between shots for the flash cap to charge up between pictures. If you have any more questions just shoot me an e-mail. If you can do it you have a still camera for only $40. It takes great pictures too, I had one published in Parachutist last year that I took with it. How do ya like it Johnny?

    I am really digging my GTI and wingsuit flying in general, even though I have only 6 jumps on the suit, I am feeling really comfortable flying it. To advance my flying, what should I try. Barrel rolls? Flying on my back? Any suggestions? How many jumps did you guys put on your first suit, before you moved up to the skyflyer or the S3. I am by no means ready to buy a new suit, just something that I was wondering. How do ya like it Johnny?

    My Startrac has a bag built into the canopy that I can put a 5x8 ft flag into and pull out after opening. The flag will then trail between the canopy and the risers. How do ya like it Johnny?
