    I may be wrong here, but aren't all those examples of jumpers opening soon after exit, so although they are not belly-to-earth, they are all belly-to-relative-wind? Nope... paratroopers on a rope are usually pushed back to the wind as soon as they exit and then have their canopies deployed.

    Is that what you do want, or don't want? I like green peppers and garlic on most anything

    What about left-over roaches? Some chick will eat them and write a letter to USPA about leaving roaches on the pizza! "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 went to a movie tavern down in Houston... pretty much the same concept, they have waiters come take your order and such. Not too shabby really, and far better than the crap at the big theaters.

    cucumber pizza ? sure, why not... cucumber is rather tasteless so i couldnt see it ruining it. kind of like putting bell peppers on pizza. We used to order a normal cheese and pepperoni pizza, then cut bell peppers and onions to put on it before we ate it, but after it was cooked. Tastes WAY better that way.

    How much drag does a pilot chute generate in a normal deployment and in a subterminal deployment? Mark Don't know... figured the MFGR would.

    Actually I did that! Got my trainee to lay down wearing the rig, then attached a scale to the bridle and started pulling at about a 30 degree angle. At first he started to slide across the floor (he weighs 140 lb) and the scale crept up to 40 lbs before the rig gave up the freebag.... I would ask the MFGR if that is acceptable. I personally think that's way high... but the MFGR might know something about the construction of the PC that could allow it to easily pull more than that. Then remember, it could be sub terminal, so the PC wont load as much right off the bat. Tough call... how was the bulk distribution on the packjob? Did you see a way you could reduce the bulk a bit in the area it was binding?

    Mine are the M-PACT gloves.. they seem to have just a bit more protection around the knuckles and maybe a bit more padding on the palm. I still wear them from time to time, even in FL... but it's not so often as it was doing my AFF in November in TN! I will suggest that anyone trying to wear gloves, make damn sure you check the feel of your hackey/pud... my freefly pud feels a LOT different with the gloves on, and I've adjusted my grip on it to make sure I get a good pull while wearing the gloves. Kinda wish I woulda gone with the PVC pipe option...

    I think that would probably be too tight for my comfort. I would try to have someone don the rig, lay down (simulating a belly to earth position) and tie a slip knot on the bridle, then a scale on it, and see how much force it takes to get it to come out. I could see how some rigs wouldn't want to release easily if pulled directly up (towards the yoke) but I can't see how it would hold if pulled back (straight up from the backpad).

    Tent Works for me every time, and WAY cheaper! IIRC most of the hotels are still a good 10-15 mins away from the dz "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

    Isn't shah trying to offload a condo too? I think that if you jumped out of his window, it would just be enough to hurt like hell. Is that a short bus joke?

    Plus tunnel time? no that will include tunnel The budget is for Transport, accomdation and Tunnel, does not include food, entertainment or jumps. Make sure you get a discount on the hookers... or they will add up fast! (oddly enough, they can even do math!)

    That's what I wear, every jump. Hot weather or cold, I just like that extra layer of protection. Never know when something weird will happen. Somehow I even cut my finger in the tunnel last week.
