I pulled a riser thru the cover with a piece of seal thread. That was with the riser secured properly, if the main is out and the risers have unstowed, the amount of pressure it takes to re-open the risers in the folded methods (test 2 and 3) was significantly less. If your RSL can't open the riser cover with

The individual that asked me to test them was worried that the RSL would have a hard time opening the cover after the risers came thru it and not activate the reserve properly. I expected the results would be similar, just didn't think I could pull the entire riser out of the channel with a piece of seal thread!

Those aren't exactly the same, sewing the pouch on the other way is much easier, and you don't have to hold on to the handle or re-route it after activation. Also, I imagine it would be a pain in the ass to peel the velcro and pull the cut away cable, then knock the PC out of the burble/off your back. Oh, I'm only a senior rigger.

I was asked via PM by a curious master rigger about the release forces on the magnetic riser covers of my Vector3. He asked me to do a test and let's face it, I'm unemployed so I don't have much else to do currently. Testing parameters: There are 3 different positions the riser covers can be in, closed correctly (IMG_7485), side flap over the center (yoke flap) (IMG_7487) or yoke flap over the side flap(IMG_7486) . Each would be tested. Fish scale that seems accurate enough (hanging packing weights off of it gives me about what I figured it would and so forth), holds high peak as well. Fish scale was put on the link end of a ty-17 riser (used front riser as that's the one that would be in contact with everything) (IMG_7488) Riser was placed under the secondary riser covers, main tray was open (simulating bag just lifted off). Surprise test at the end. Test 1- riser covers closed properly Pulled up and away from container, scale shows ~5lb when riser has cleared the riser covers. (IMG_7489, 90, 91) Test 2- Side flap over yoke flap Scale shows 1-2lbs (IMG_7495, 96) Test 3- Yoke flap over side flap Scale shows 3-4lbs. (IMG_7492, 93, 94) My findings are consistent with Bill Booth's claim of ~5lb to release.

Funny story, the company I just left, a multi-million $$ defense contractor, HQ was right next door to a strip club. Apparently a lot of the corporate meetings occurred next door. When I went there for the paper signing (I worked off site) I asked which was there first. The company just built that building, long after the strip club opened. But no, the new one isn't a strip club...

I've been actively calling a company every other week or so for about 2 months to see what the deal is. Latest story was they had to put interviewing on hold while the interviewing manager went thru some sort of training. I've thought about just walking in, as the company is right down the road from me... It would be an awesome job, just gotta get them to see that it was basically written for me.

We flew into Tampa and there was a Walmart within 10 min of the airport. We got everything, tent, blankets, pillows, flashlights, food and even a nice big cooler for just over $100. Much cheaper than what a hotel would of cost. Warning about the Tampa walmart... don't stay in there too long, you might come out to find your rental car missing. There was some pretty questionable looking folks in that place Yup, cause we only got ONE Walmart!

The 3-rings look a bit too spaced out to me. (built incorrectly?) Could be why you had to yank on the riser to get a release. Furthermore, what kind of webbing is that? Not TY 7 or 8. Nice job sewing it, some pretty nice patterns going on there, but I wouldn't trust my life to it.

There's a TI at my DZ that got a multi-cam jumpsuit made (with shoulder pads none the less ), sewed a tan American flag to the shoulder (at least he faced it the right way!) and then sewed some air force unit patches to the legs. Cold mornings he wears a Navy SEAL beanie (with the trident). Got a wing suit with the old air force logos on the sides and talks about it being classified. Jumps with MARPAT, ACU and BDU pants as well. He never spent a minute in the military, the Air Force patches were his dads. I think he's a douche, and it pains me when the students ask if they're going with the 'Army guy' instructor... he's a tool... don't be THAT guy and I think you'll be fine.

Ya notice I had the loop up, so I took the picture with my left hand, fucker. I do have better pictures of it, but they're on my dz computer. I'll post them tomorrow. Shouldn't you be getting a very 'in depth' medical so you can toss some more drogues? I'll make sure to tell the doctor you like cold hands and 3 fingers please.

Never again will I buy a sewing machine that doesn't have a knee/foot lift able presser foot. That is my BIGGEST problem with the sailrite I have. Such a pain in the ass!

Works pretty well, got it built to my specs (4" plate with notch and 2 stand offs) Only down side is it's aluminum and has a tendency to grind little pieces of aluminum off (you can see them on the gaffer tape to the left of the notch). Not sure if it's just something that will stop after a few uses or not. Only closed 2 containers with it. If there is enough interest, I can get the maker (who's a dz.commer as well) involved and see what he says about making more. He also has the full 12" knee plate with the same stand offs.
