  1. If you really want our help, as Remster said, we will need a naked pic of you! "a little on the trashy side" did you read you own first post??
  2. Lookin for a discount on jump tickets?
  3. Hey, if a couple has their wiring crossed and "it's right" for them to live that way then so be it, but don't ever think that the majority of the people in the world will think it's right What makes it "their" wiring that's crossed? and maybe I'm wrong here but at one point didn't "the majority of the people in the world" think the place was flat and not round???
  4. I use a version of it. I'm using digitudes on mine and instead of the clip (fold) you mention in post 3, I had a snap set in the plastic and mud flap. Have close to 700 jumps with them (have two rigs each with it's own altimeter) and no problems. I would not say they are better in every way for all types of skydiving though. As for the the gear bag question you can just remove it at the end of the day although I leave mine on all the time. Things I like about it--- 1. Always on the rig,-one less thing to grab or keep track of. 2. Great location for sit, tracking, under canopy. 3. Digitude has a light for when the sunset load turns into the sunless load. Drawbacks-- 1. Yes it can partially restrict your view of the cutaway handle depending on how you bend the plastic when building it. 2. You pretty much have to build it yourself- not on the store shelf. 3. I don't do crew but think it would be a line snagger if I did, more so because of the shape of the digitude and not the mount itself. If you decide to build one I can give you a few more pointers.

  5. OK posters, I've just scanned this whole thread and roughly come up with 21 for yes and 8 for no.
  6. Do you have a name or contact for the guy that does the elph Lt? I have a cannon eos rebel now but don't like to deal with the extra weight for fun jumping. If the quality is good on the elph that would be just the ticket. I've been looking for an excuse to buy one anyway. Opie If your not on the edge, you can't enjoy the view!

  15. More good words for FireFly! I was at Perris last weekend and Sherry with FireFly came out to the DZ to measure me for a suit herself and helped me pick out a color pattern. Thanks Sherry.

  20. Depending on the direction and speed of the child you go right, left, or over the child. Shut down???? no need, speed equals quick response and lift here. If this seems like a tough question you are jumping a higher performance canopy than you're ready for, period. No time to yell at the mother I'm on the next load!

  22. 230sqft stratocloud, loaded at .76 so worn out it had about the same porosity as a bedsheet. Came with black and red Wonderhog and a 23' pioneer round that I got to try out when I was thinking about buying the thing. Got the whole setup for $400.
