    A lot of the pilots that I know who do acro believe they have to wear the rig... I don't argue the point with them. Of course, they don't believe that it has to be legal unless they're going to get ramped.

    You're not paid by the hour, are you? "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 honestly a little surprised that so many people use spectra for reserves, I've never come across a modern sport rig with anything other than the cypres closing loop.

    Exactly... Spain or Germany? The cargo area intercom speaker is inop, we're stuck... Hostile country? Get in, sit down and hold on...

    I earned my AFF-I rating first, but the other two people in the course with me were already T-Is. One of them had a lot of trouble because he was comfortable with doing tandems and they didn't keep him on his toes flying. AFF-I was a much more difficult rating for me. When I went to the T-I rating course, I was already an AFF-I and basically only had to worry about the tandem specific portions of the course. That being said, if you're looking for money, I've never been on back to back to back to back loads all day doing AFF jumps. I have done it doing tandems.

    Was a busy day at the dz and a couple TI's were making back to backs, so they asked me to harness a student up. It's a Strong DZ but I was a Sigma rated TI. Harness is a harness and we would normally just rough fit it for the instructor to look over and snug up as they saw fit. This instructor actually stopped and asked me if it was my Sigma harness because it fit the student so much better than the Strong harnesses... It was a Strong harness...

    I do recall hearing someone using a semi-stowless bag on SIGMAs, though I don't know specifics. "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

    Here I was thinking it was a question for the air force air crews. Those fuckers always seem to break down in the best places... just sucks when you're the cargo and you are unable to enjoy the local environment.

    I've got a Singer 143w2 that was made for sewing delicate fabrics... works just as well on a container. Doesn't do buttonholes though.

    I've had those exact canopies in my rig and they were snug. A 150 would be a little looser but I don't know if I'd put a 135 in it... I'd have to pack it up and see how it looks.

    They do that to save fuel. If you're just doing slow speed observation and not cruising, might as well use two motors at 50% instead of four at 30% Makes sense. Thanks.

    http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/world/2014/04/11/nr-australian-pm-howell-plane-black-box.cnn.html In this video, it shows a clip of a 4 engine turbo prop shutting down one of the engines.

    I suppose if you want to drop skydivers you can't just stencil 'EXPERIMENTAL' on the side. Bummer. Actually, I think you can't do any commercial ops in an experimental. Now, if it wasn't a commercial operation and nobody was paying for the jump, may actually be legal.

    Better to get the work done when the air outside is cool than to be trying to bust your ass doing it at 2pm. I don't thing 6am would be reasonable, but usually 7am is the normal around these parts.

    Quite boring. Flying only take-off, jump-run and landing. I saw the pilot trim for climb and play only with setting heading on auto... I didn't say I'd use the autopilot. Just looks like a sweet plane to fly.
