Katana - Flight Characteristics-
skygod7777 replied to frankiebrina's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
dude, if they came out with xbraced tandems, i'd like custom order like a 280 or something and start taking poeple who think they want to start doing hook turn and just scare the fuck out of em by doing a big phat 540 or something under a tandem. i'd put 2 to 1's on the front risers later -

oh i see how it is. your one of those guys that take up half the packing area when you pack a tandem. no what would suck just as much as the whole packjob would be getting that big fucker to S fold (the xbraced one anyway). later -

-
what's up well i'm pretty sure i do. i mean i keep on looking at my "sent" mailbox and i've sent quite a few e-mails to people i've never seent. and i it's my own damn fault for opening one of those e-mails on accident, one that said "you've got picture" or something dumb like that. so does anyone know who the fuck to get rid of these damn things. thanks

advanced series or the pro series (5' gates or 10' gates) lata

it's all up to what ever rigger packs it to determine if the canopy is safe. if the guy looked at it, and said no i will not pack this because i feel it is unsafe, well then that's his decision, and i would respect it. i mean, it's your life your playing with, and if a rigger told me that my reserve was unsafe, i'd be getting a new one. still, take it to another rigger that you trust, and have them look it over, if they say its ok, and they'll pack it then go for it. but other wise i'd be looking for a new reserve. later

you are funny dude. people are just trying to help you, make sure you dont get hurt. i understand it's up to you for what you want to jump, and no the dzo's or s&ta's should not be blamed, they didn't make you do that hook turn, they didn't make you jump that canopy, but they could of stoped you. they could of said, "this canopy is way too much for someone with this few of jump, maybe we should go talk to him" or something like that. and if you don't listen, then the dzo has the power to ground you until you come to your senses, or just kick you off the dz. so it does in the end come back onto them. i'm not trying to be an ass, but i'm just stating the truth. lata

oh come on now, i couldn't remember who posted that. so i jus used "old dude" as you know. just some dude. really i swear later
-
it's over in the corner of the deck, like as your looking out at the landing area look left, that's where they all gather around. i met a few of them, but i can't remember anyones names, just faces. but that's how it goes when you party for like 10 days in a row. and trust me, zhills will do that to ya. lata
-
that's really cool. i like it when company's do those kinds of things. and to what old dude said above, they just take some getting used to. i love my blue googles. lata
-
hey my guy, i don't know you at all. i have never met you, but i can tell you right now i don't need to, to say that with that attitude right there you will get hurt if you dont change it soon. i mean, you have too think about it, you have 100 jumps, and jump a wing loading of 1.6. i mean, you don't even have to do a hook turn too low to get fucked up at that wing loading, if you just do your final turn too low, your going to get hurt. i hate judging people, and i usually don't, i'm not one of the people who bash people for jumping small canopies, but you are cocky and jumping a small canopy, and you will get hurt if you don't change your attitude. just be careful, and maybe you'll jump a bigger canopy for a while, hell borrow one. i'm sure someone will let you. lata

How often do you replace your Vectran lines.
skygod7777 replied to dsbbreck's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
i replace my lower contol lines about every 200 jumps or so (even though i haven't gotten around to it on my current vx , but i will). and then i replace the line set at 400, ok maybe 500. i don't fuck around with that shit, i want my lines to be ok. i could just imagine a line breaking right in the middle of a swoop, or in the middle of a dive. i've seen up to like 1000 jumps put on a set, but i would not recomend that at all. later -
yea, 2.7 or 2.8. jess is a crazy mother fucker. and it's kinda crazy, he still gets decent distance on it. but it doesn't stop for shit. they didn't want to build him a bigger one when he bought it, it was when everyone was loading them at like 2.4 or 2.5. so when jess asked for like a 125, they said they wouldn't garunetee it if they built one that big. and they were sure he wouldn't like it, we never did tell him that he was almost 300 pounds out the door . and to make it worse, he bought a 99 after that, but he did send it back for an another 109, it opened bad. later
-
haha, yea he did. i mean, there is no in between canopy for jess, i mean, he's almost 2.0 under the heatwave. and jess is a damn good canopy pilot. he was fine under the 109 first jump. later
