Hi, I had the same problem on an old PC100, I tried taking it apart and decided about halfway through to retrace my steps & stop pretending that my electronics repair abilities were as good as I thought they were. I ended up ordering a skylight video recording indicator at : http://www.skydanceheadgear.com/accessor.htm I haven't received it yet, but if it does work & I get another 6 months out of the camera I'll be happy with it.

Hi, This what you're looking for ? I have one on my helmet, it rotates 90 left or right or 180 straight up. Have a look at Brent Finley' stuff : http://www.brentfinley.com/store.htm Rgds KLR 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hi, While we're talking about indicators, I have a cameye already & I'm happy enough with it. I got a new helmet a few weeks ago & I'm not overly keen on drilling a large hole through it for the cameye button or putting it on the inside. I had a look at the LANC specification and thought to myself 'bugger that !' My sony camcorder has a recording indicator on the front, I'm thinking of using a photodiode or phototransistor planced in front of that indicator to power a visible LED on the front of the helmet. The LANC socket has a small ambient voltage that should be enough to power the LED. Has anybody done this before ? Before somebody tells me to 'spend the money & buy a hypeye or cameye' I already have one & I'm only looking for a simple recording on/off indicator. rgds Kieran 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hi, not really sick as such .... coupla years ago I was in a job that I was quitting anyway and I really didn't feel like going in on a particular Monday, so I decided to call in sick. Unfortunately, having made the decision to take a day off I sounded really upbeat & chirpy on the phone to my boss. He noticed this and asked me just how sick I was ? the inevitable reply had to be 'I'm in bed with my sister' The silence on the other end of the line was priceless ...

dude, go do a canopy course, how much is a broken leg worth ? I had the same problem years ago. There wasn't a part of zhills that I hadn't smacked into, that and ending up in hospital in deland. If you're having trouble landing safely you need to do a canopy control course, otherwise you're a statistic waiting for a date and a grid reference ...crutches for free. there isin't a single person on this forum that didn't have the same problem, go do the course, dump high, practise flaring above 3 grand, get to know your canopy & get instruction g'luck ! rgds klr 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hi, gotta be when I didn't understand the menu in Bangkok & ordered some black soup / stew with entire baby octopus in it. This was served in a bowl over a candle. This meant the little beggars kept floating to the top and then sinking. Can't remember what it tasted like but I'll never ferget those chewy little tentacles .... lesson - learn the local lingo - or at least enough to read the menu 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hey Bob, I did the course with you last year at the holiday inn, good to see ya made it back this year, sorry to hear ya bust yourself up. Couldn't make it this year, just bought a house - I'm lucky to have enuff money for food. However did have enough cash left over to buy a new gargoyle so I'll see you on the bridge in fayetteville next October .... thats if Imigration lets me back in .... swear to god, those guys have no sense of humour at all !

No, but each case is different. I already stand a well high chance of inheriting a condition from my old man & when I went to visit my mom in hospital on Saturday she had been asked by her specialist to take me to one side and tell me that I stand, yet again, another high chance of inheriting the condition that she hid from our entire family for the last 29 years ! I would hate to think that my parents, knowing what they know, may have decided to not to have me. I've had a ball the last 34 years ... !! Things may get difficult in the future, but ya can't have everything easy. 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hi, anybody know where I can get a good camera condom for a Canon 350D ? Summer is leaving us here & I don't want to do the 120 mph moisture test on it. 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

HI, yeah this is a common one, along with mr I-don't-have-a-hygiene-problem. Heres a few I've used over the years. Not answering phone. Firstly whenever he leaves his desk & his phone rings - start taking it apart. If he doesn't get the message, bring in a soldering iron & really go to town on it. Spread the pieces out in a neat line. This one worked fine for me a few years ago. Put pepper spray or ammonia on the ear piece of his phone or on his keyboard. If you can't get them get a jalpeno pepper and used that instead. If he insists on answering on speakerphone - get one of your friends to ring him along the lines of : 'hi this is skip from the clinic, we really need to talk about that rash you picked up in bangkok' ... or 'hey Mr five dollar, why you no call round no more ?' Does he chew his pen or pencil ? If he does, take his favourite one, get a disposable camera, retire to a quiet location, put the pen where the sun don't shine and take a picture - leave the picture on his desk about a week later or email it to him from a duff account. That one works great with a toothbrush. Theres the old favourite about putting a dead fish in the back of his monitor but if you sit near him ... that one kinda backfires. That should get ya started ! rgds klr 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hi, took this one at the weekend, I had been trying for a while to get one of a jumper just as he dived out of a tailgate, its not fantastic but this was about my fifth attempt & I'm happy with the result. Especially with the two other guys looking out behind him 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hi, thanks. The lad in charge is a fairly reasonable guy. I was just wondering if anybody had heard something similar. After years of 182s and 206s we're just glad to have a porter ! 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hi StefB, yeah I could see how that could happen in the copilot seat if you weren't aware of it. theres only a few cameramen here who've got topmount stills & they're no fools, none of us have spent all that money on decent digital cameras to start whacking them off the flaps or on the edge of the door. piisfish - The impression I got talking to the man in charge was that they were 'advised' that topmounted cameras could snag control lines just under the roof. I kinda found it hard to believe, especially as I've jumped a topmounted camera in Spain & the US out of a porter - hence the post asking has anybody heard anything similar ? .... it might be that they couldn't be ars*d to replace the lining. 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

Hi, Has anybody ever heard of a ban on topmounted cameras in a Pilatus Porter ? A DZ I go to bought a porter recently & has put a total ban on top mounted vid or stills cameras in place for it. Has anybody heard of this anywhere else ? 'I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in somebody elses blood, I plan to leave it the same way.'

just back from d'pub, once again it does my heart good to see the base community extent a warm sarcastic, cynical F.U. to some pseudo journalist EDITOR - if you're really in tampa & looking for extreme why doncha hit I95 & go north for about 30 miles & take the turnoff for zhills, when you get there check out TK's swoop pond in skydive city or the Crystal bar on ladies nite. Both can ber fairly extreme but if you mention the words 'gun control' or'democrat' in the latter, things will get very extreme in about half a second.
