Who gives a fuck if you can call yourself a skydiver or not... its not an elite group its a fucking hobby! call yourself whatever you want. skydivers are no better than the next guy. You don't see people that make model airplanes arguing about what they can call themselves (how many planes theyve made before they're not tourists) For fucks sake people GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!

Honestly i haven't read all of the replies because i got bored of trying to decipher your posts. You do know money doesn't buy real friends don't you? In skydiving and the real world... Your 3 grand has nothing to do with wether someone should like you or not... If you don't make an effort and just think throwing cash around will suffice why on earth should anyone bother trying to make an effort with you? Suck it up and get on with it.

woohoo sport jumping in taupo!! -
one of my wings rigs was made for a 175reserv 170 main and now has a 135 in it but also had a 119 in there with room to go smaller... my other rig has a 150 reserve and 119 main at the moment
-
Ok so I've checked the canopies, the 120 has the mod and the 135 doesn't... If anyone has enough information that they can give me to make a Dacron lineset for both the help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers everyone!
-
im not really interested in changing configuration, i have plenty enough flare as it is... so thats not a problem, also we arent buying a premade lineset the rigger is going to make them as soon as we can get all the lengths and cascade points etc... aerodyne are closed at the moment i guess so we cant go straight to them unfortunately. Thanks for your help...
-
cheers mel, ill have a closer look when i get a chance but im 99.9% sure the 135 at least doesn't have the mod done...
-
pretty sure they are both ones without the mod... although im not 100% on how to tell the difference
-
Shameless bump!!
-
cheers but unfortunately that isnt enough info to make a lineset from...
-
We are getting a rigger to make up a couple of linesets for a triathlon 120 and a 135 in dacron. I havent been able to get hold of aerodyne direct for the line specs (lengths etc) and was wondering if anyone had any access to that information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Max

I use it with my cx110 for outside camera and also handicams so its gonna be plenty wide enough for you mate!
-
For the birds and the cash...
-
I've just converted to a cx110 and am in the Market for a new hd lens... I'm after one which will match my canon 450d and sigma 15mm the closest, if anyone has any ideas of which one will suit me best please let me k ow. I did search but couldn't find a specific answer. Cheers Max
-
That's fair enough mate. Here are the facts:- d.o.m.- jun 93 and it has 15 routine repacks and 3 repacks after rides if you could help that would be great. Cheers
-
Just a quick question. I'm after a little bit of help pricing a pd143r Dom 92 I think and I'm pretty sure that there is 20-25 repacks and 3/4 jumps, will double check numbers etc tomorrow but if you can help that would be great. Cheers

Safire not sapphire - recovery arc not arch or ark -

I've heard that either the techno or tempo reserve (pretty sure it's the techno) is lower pack volume than the optimum. I'm not 100% on that though but it might be worth looking into
-
I know 3 people that have had mals on their reserves. With different riggers, reserves are not perfect, why risk that when you will 99.99% be able to land without incident? Obviously I would chop it if it wasn't controllable but in my eyes people have too much faith in reserves!
-
I've seen plenty landed and even landed one myself the other day! I've also seen a couple chopped, just depends on wether or not the pilot fells they can land it.

Staff Drug Testing as a Condition of Employment.

We get tested and know that we will before we get the job. At the end of the day if you don't like it work somewhere else, easy as that! -
Bacon is bacon and pork is pork. You can make bacon from beef. I had Burger King in Dubai, it had bacon, the bacon was made from beef. You can also make bacon from turkey, goat.... Salt and water injected into it and cured. Sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one, bacon is, by definition, pork; bacon: noun meat from the back and sides of a pig, usually salted or smoked. This was a definition taken from the chambers dictionary, all other dictionaries use either pig or hog in the definitions. Beef, turkey etc is not real bacon it is a meat product based on bacon.

I'd recommend the Safire, might be higher performance than the others but at your loading and jump numbers it won't matter.
