    freefly?

    I'll tell you a funny story about this some time... Remember that time a guy pulled his sons reserve on the ground after he went free flying because his dad told him not to and to get better on his belly first?

  2. There was, it was actually pretty funny to see all the things she was bitching about, and see "Matt Cline likes this" "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
  3. Better for it to be from non-skydiving planes, not based at that local airport, from all around the area, making low passes over her house over and over again, even late at night. The message would be, back off or you'll wish for the quiet skies you used to have. Her neighbors would also be pushing for her to stop making trouble. Hmm, her profile lists Dade City, FL as her current home town... Someone get me an address and I'll see if I can swing by during my round-robin of airports tomorrow in the 172.

  4. I think I have a good idea now. Let's see how it works out. Hope to have something in the next few days. "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
  5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't almost all of the fires started at a gas pump because of a static discharge between the person (who's usually wearing a jacket and/or causing static by sliding off their cloth seats) not grounding themselves prior to starting to fuel? They start to fuel, touch the car = spark and instant fire. That's avoided simply by touching the metal on the vehicle and grounding before fueling. What other things cause fires at the gas pump? (not talking about the car driving thru the damn thing and it starting a fire) "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
  6. That is correct, they are no longer required for tandem students. "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
  7. Twardo would be one of the guys that's been there, done that. I've done it a time or two, but I was hooked up to the plane. "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
  8. Thanks! "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
  9. Bingo, we have a winner. The interface cable for most of those changers have straight audio (L&R) cables, you can splice and wire one in directly.

  10. No pics of the sleeves in action. And I gave them away a few years ago. Mine was a "do it my selfer". The Forearm measurement was 13.75" at its largest, round up to 14", add 75% ish to make a 24" piece (not tapered) for the tube, sewn with the heavy spandex Mike uses for his Tetris Suits. They worked well, but I am sure there are variables to the size. The elbow end had the 2" cuff (wished it was wider some times when I wore a layer of warmth under the jump) suit, and a 3" cuff at the wrist, it was a good way for the wrist mount to have less bulk under. Matt Thanks for the details... How wide were they? I got the length part down, but what about the width (in between the cuffs)?

  11. that would be the lycra or spandex cuffs I'd think. the sleeve would be a bit longer than the forearm cuff(wrist) - tube - cuff(above elbow joint) Thanks! Any idea on how much is effective/non effective on a sleeve? Don't want huge balloon arms if I don't need them.

  12. The entire sleeve was 3" or what was it? Just checking. "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
  13. So it's the lycra on both ends and just a bunch of cotton material 'tube' between/connecting the two? Making sure I'm not missing something. How baggy did you make yours Matt? Any pictures?

  14. C'mon man, we won't tell on ya! Sucks being in that situation though! "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
  15. You've got a rig! What's your point? It's busy collecting dust along side his... when ya gonna come get them and go jump? "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

  17. Thinking of going to get a real tree some time this week...hope it doesn't end up like Amy Winehouse. Dead, 5 ft 6, and surrounded by needles... Suggestions?

  18. So, I've decided I want to make some sleeves to get a little extra drag on some jumps (the removable ones that you just slide over your arms). Anyone have tips/construction details? Materials and such would be great!

    +1 Skydiving like everything requires a good base. I give up, they got 2 docks in with a coach, they've got mad skills. "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

    So you corked out of a sit after 2 seconds? 13 jumps?? LEARN TO FLY ON YOUR BELLY FIRST! "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
  22. I've gotten into the saddle with just enough time to turn to my downwind leg once or twice. Damn snivley canopy! "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
  23. I caught a packer packing a tandem with both of those long tabs sticking out, had to stop him and fix it, guess common sense isn't so common.

  24. Hell if I know, 60 repacks and nobody fired one yet (that I know of)... Though, that's how I like it and am fine with keeping that record going.
