    do NOT half ass repairs (non riggers included) I just put a set of risers back to a normal condition after someone (likely a non rigger) cut off pile tape and sewed (with what looks like was a home machine) then hand tacked pockets on the toggles. If you're going to change it, improve it and do it the right way.

    Are you planning on packing it without sending it in for its check? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

    I hadn't thought to ask him, but I think it may have been to make it a more standard setup so if you dropped your handles, you could replace them with generic type, not the exact specific RSL/ripcord assembly from UPT.

    Are you saying film AFF/SL or go to the IRC's? I honestly think filming AFF (especially when they don't go as planned) is much harder than filming tandems.

    FWIW this is the original routing for the RSL. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

    I actually took the hats off of my links when I noticed that they were sort of 'wedging' the control lines between them and the grommets. Seemed like a bad day waiting to happen.

    I'm pretty sure it was hand tacked all the way to the brass ferrule. I know it's routed wrong, I said so, sheesh! I took the picture to show someone it was routed wrong, that's how I ended up with the picture!

    Yup. At the end of the repack cycle none the less. Glad it wasn't jumped much if at all. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

    I'm pretty sure it should be right where that double row of stitching is on the yoke, outside of the riser cover flaps. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

    At the bottom of all the emails I get from LinkedIn "Don't want to receive email notifications? Adjust your message settings." Try that?

    Just curious, the large ring is on the right side of the flap, correct? There are a few V2's floating around that were modified under an FAA approval for a more 'normal' type RSL with the ring on the left side of the flap. ETA: This is the set up, and yes, it is misrouted.

    On this rig, there's not. That's what's odd. Hmm. _Am Sounds odd, but could've been removed by someone who just didn't annotate it on the PDC. Weird that they left the ring on the top flap though. Ya should call the rigging dept at UPT and ask them about putting it back on, probably something a master rigger can do. If ya run into Betsy up there, ask her.

    There should be a path down next to the inner side of the reserve riser. I don't have a V2 handy to send a pic (shoulda asked 2 hours ago when I was at the DZ!) ETA: I believe it's a very similar routing on the V3's with RSL/skyhook. The pile on the yoke is routed the same way, IIRC.

    I don't recall the V2's having split housings/collins lanyards. That was brought about because of the skyhook. The RSL should be routed over the yoke, next to the reserve riser on the wearers right side, then thru the ring. You probably need to get the reserve ripcord too as IIRC the marine eye on it had to mate with the RSL which actually had the pin. http://www.unitedparachutetechnologies.com/PDF/Support/Manual/Vector_II_Manual.pdf RTFM "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

    Take all instruction from your INSTRUCTOR! Don't use DZ.com to override their training. Oh, most importantly, HAVE FUN!

    I know there are organizing books, you can flip to the section for that many people and it gives you a bunch of formations.

    I've gone on a few 'slot covered' coach jumps starting around 130ish jumps, many more on my own dime. I worked with them on things between recurrency, basic RW, canopy flight/pattern flying. Would I say that I was the best coach out there? Nope, but I met the standards set forth and enabled the student to learn without 'inhibiting' it.
