  1. even better... paid nothing, free rental for a month, not my rig and thanks to the guys at SSM, i didnt get a chance to hang out long but terry was a nice guy, and had alot of knowledge of the canopy i was jumping lori ended up doing a couple jumps with me, and i did get some good pointers on my landings and some RW stuff i wanted to get done. I may be back out tomorrow... not quite sure whats going on yet.

  2. but there is no mention of canopy sizes, or jump counts... and im still curious as to how the main is out of date? "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. as im fairly sure that container costs more than $800 bucks... not to mention 2 canopies... that he didnt give any information on (other than the main is out of date??) if it were me, i wouldnt touch it... id think it was HOT "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
  4. honestly, you'd be about a million times better off asking your instructors... they can figure your wingloading, and what type of canopy you should start with. they have seen you jump, and seeing as your profile isnt filled out, we dont even know where you are and who to send you to. just ask your instructors/staff at your 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
  5. Sort of. It's a DSL modem over the phone line, but I don't have to dial in to it to activate it. I can use the computer and the phone simultaneously, and they coexist. I like the theory. When I did have true dial-up previously, I never could achieve the maximum rate I was supposed to get. Hence, the noisy phone line idea fits. yeah, its actually pretty common, most people have some kind of noise in thier lines oddly enough, i used to work tech support for everyones internet right there in houston. im not sure who your phone line company is, (doesnt HAVE to be at&t) but try to get ahold of them and have a tech come do a line noise check. if its not within standards at the box, they have to bring it to standards... IIRC its called a line loop data check... dont hold me to that. also, it could be the wiring in your house, generally speaking, you dont want anything plugged inbetween the wall and the modem, and use as short of a cord as you can. keep it away from any halogen lights (and any other source of EMI that you can think of) you would generally see this kind of problem from noisey lines, but there could be other things causing it, its just the most likely culprit. simple test: plug a phone into that line, disconnect the modem (preferably plug the phone in where the modem is) and listen to see if you hear crackling or humming of some sort... diffrent sounds come from diffrent sources, so if you hear something, tell me and i might be able to point you in the right direction "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. hrm... 20 odd downloads... no complaints?? guess it has to be somewhat decent "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. Im going to go out on a limb and say you are using dial up? 0x800ccc0f means the connection was dropped... so, your internet connection is timing out, or you have noisey lines. You might not notice this on regular browsing, but its probably taking longer than it should. And by running that program 'Intellicast' you are possibly keeping your internet connection alive, preventing the timeout or loss of connection. so, do you have dial up?

  8. well, im not worried about being dead on 100% of the time, but if i want to land on peas, i want to be able to. im finding alot of information for my next couple jumps, just not really sure how to find 'the spot that doesnt move' "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. nah, not right now. i have a sentry 210 (loaner) that im trying to get more accurate on, and ill be getting a sabre2 190 when i get back from my field trip just trying to find out if sinking them is a good method of attack for accuracy "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. you can pay someone to pack for you, but i prefer to pack for myself... as do alot of people its not really all that hard once you get the hang of it, and ends up saving a nice chunk of beer money(i mean change) i know if i pack it, and i get a mal... it was my fault, and i cant blame anybody but myself for it.

  21. Before takeoff or after takeoff, it don't matter. When I'm flying jumpers I always abide by "tits for 'tude".

  24. you must have a great pilot... im not quite so sure that i would do that to some new pilot that is, unless the owner (his friend) put us up to it and knew he could handle it "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
