    I've done two ways where we passed a disp. 35 mm back and forth like a batton pass. and I know i did look thru the viewfinder in f/f. I exited with it took a few snaps and you had to manually advance the film. passed it to him he took a few of me. and passed it back. it worked well. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

    As some people were saying above.. if you are trained to render medical aid (Firefighter, EMT, paramedic, first responder, doctor) yeah thats the ticket. cause them damn nurses are only good for emptying bed pans and making beds with those hospital corners so you can't get under the covers without breaking your toes.. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

    so does anyone know how long a bailout bottle lasts? I know it would depend on how hard you were breathing but. assuming a rapid resp. rate can you suck one of those dry in a minute or two? or are you allways gonna have 20 minutes or more of air in one of those? i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

    a few things come to mind after this weekend. do most people put on their booties and zip your legs while standing out side the aircraft or after boarding? and you have to sit on a straddle bench side saddle while in the plane right? does anyone else have trouble with the seatbelts while doing this? when you unzip the legs under canopy do you keep your legs straight and wide like your flying the suit? and to anyone that has the magnets to keep the leg wing up while your walking do you try to use the magnets while under canopy or do you just let the leg wing fly behind you? i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

I'm hoping to get some instruction down in clewiston in jan. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

    Quote DO NOT cut away that other wing if this happens. it only makes it worse. I have flown these wings unhooked, blown out, zippers open, etc.. they fly fine. you can compensate. two flapping wings are worse than one. thanks for the info. glad to know that. after I tried to grab it and decided it was better to leave well enough alone. I actually had the thought while in free fall that another one of those quick releases flapping around on the same side as my pull hand prob. wasn't a good thing. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

    thanks scott. I'm located in nashville tn. but I'm gonna be at the everglades boogie in clewiston fla. in late jan. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

    yep that's how the wings attach. but that suit appears to have openings? vents? outlined with black at the knee and ankle. my suit doesn't have them. and my suit has thumb loops. I have been told that the older raptors are not supposed to have thump loops. so go figure. so am I supposed to feel like my legs are higher than my head when I'm flying? i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

    o.k. just kidding but i did have an intresting 1st jump on my demo raptor. left the otter in an arch with the arm and leg wings collapsed after two seconds spread the wings and turned 90 deg from jump run started to fly was getting a lot of fwd and back wobble for quite a few seconds. got my legs wider and that seemed to help. turned back towards the dz and at around 7500 ft. the left hand wing suddenly cuttaway. it got pretty exciting for a few seconds. I tried to cutaway the right wing but that made me feel even more unstable. so after 2 attempts I just found a stable position and rode it till 4500 and dumped. this was the sunset load on sat. so I couldn't let it beat me so I had to do a couple more on sun. they went better. Is it normal to feel like you are pitched in a head low attitude when you are flying a w/s? i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response.

    that sounds like a fun game for the thumper. not so much for the thumpie i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

    thanks for the reply. yeah I have it mounted now. it just looked like it was too big. there is a slight bit of over hang but those edges are rounded. I could only get 3 out of the 4 washers on the mounting bolts. but that because of a bump in the carbon fiber layup inside of the helmet. but I think 3 out of the 4 will be fine I was able to get the nut tight on the 4th bolt just couldn't use the washer i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

    everyone talking about carry on or not with your rig. so o.k. if I have a carry on duffel with my rig in it. I'm still allowed 2 pieces of checked luggage. anyone what the max size allowed for a checked bag.?? i think I've been told it has to weigh less than 45 lbs. but could i check a big ass empty cooler with like a tent sleeping bag pillow blankets shit like that as long as I kept it under the 45 lb mark??? anyone know off the top of their head? i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

    I think 3,500 for one jump is crazy and a wasteful use of green. BUT. I also feel that way about 10 grand on a rolex watch or 100 grand or more fore a car. but if it's their money they can spend it any way you want. I know a guy who spent 60 grand to climb everest. what's the diff? and I would like to know why you think this is a ben and cary thing. is that not the gold coast that does the halo tandems? lumberton miss. I've never been there but I did go to a couple of their boogies when they were in moss point miss. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response.
