I've seen this a few times, not sure if anyone has brought it up, but I haven't seen anything in the past 6ish months in the bug forums. Link says click for a web-site with more info, but it goes to "http:///" shouldn't there be a validation that would prevent that link from showing up if it was empty?

I'll let HER answer that, however... No need to ask random people to take pictures of your ass afterwords. "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

Weird, I returned from Fitz today, no pie was delivered, and that's AFTER you AND turtle put the pieces together as to who I am.

Skymama and Normiss have an RV there. If you're looking for anybody in particular, check manifest or registration, and somebody should know what direction to point you to... I'm not getting in until late this afternoon. If you're looking for me, just ask almost anyone "where's the deaf fucker?" Missbrz is the official ASL translator for the boogie. You're saying she signs too? Yep, she likes to use it when she wants to talk trash about the people around her without them knowing. Don't ask how I know that!

Call Mirage, they will be more than happy to talk to you about it. If you can get the rigs serial number before hand, that would be much easier to determine fit.

Not when I'm watching they don't or they get a thick ear. I'd guessed that might be part of it so reminded them of what I'd said about it in their first lesson. I've seen people who cock it after they bag the canopy and tell them why that's a bad idea, but then seen people cock it before bagging it, then not checking after it's bagged. I personally cock/check my PC at least twice. Once before bagging and once after, but I keep the bridle taught and put my foot on the bag to make sure that all of the slack is coming from the inside of the bag (between the canopy attach and the dbag). As for the repair/replacement, I'd ask a rigger there to look at it and make their determination. If they were holes without jagged edges, depending on the locations I might be okay with it, but if they're burned and have sharp edges, you're just asking to replace your kill line soon and minas well just replace the whole thing... Unless your rigger is VERY bored and wants to fix that bridle.

While that's possible, I don't think it's likely. The holes are too small for me to think that. It's either happening when they cock the PC, or when the wind catches it on deployment and extends the PC more. Either way, that part of bridle should not be cinched up. I don't recall off the top of my head what attachment system the canopy has to the bridle/dbag, but the slack from cocking the PC should come from inside there (between the bag and the 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

You're burning the bridle when you cock the pilot chute. Lets see the inside where the canopy attaches to it. The only rig I recall ever seeing where the bridle 'cinches' up when you cock the pilot chute is a Sigma tandem rig (can't recall if the Vectors did as well) Usually the part that cinches up is inside the bag, connected to the canopy. Post some pictures of that. ETA: Also, do you guys cock the PC after the canopy is in the bag? I'm thinking probably.

I never get this kind of treatment! Treatment? I just get "fuck you Billy!" and you're complaining! Their love for you falls on deaf ears.

Let's hope so! Will need to do a recurrence jump for sure....and truth be told, I am a little askeerd! Wanna do it with me? Going on 2.5 years since my last jump too! What could go wrong? Indeed! Let's do a 69 exit, transition off the hill to a rodeo, break, track and pull high, then do CRW, and transition the plane into a down plane and hold it to 150 feet and let go over the pond! What could possibly go wrong? How are you planning to signal for the break? Have her yell it, you won't hear it...

It's something we've basically just dealt with while doing videos and pictures. Generally I don't have much issue with it, but I assembled my gear when it was hot and dry, then gaffer taped the crap out of it where the lens attaches to the camera. That helps a bit, but still get a small spot some days. If it's really humid, it might be worse, but I don't think it was that bad when you were down here.

Good point! After the vehicle has been sitting for a bit (couple hours should do ya easily) pull everything in the trunk and make it so you're as close as you can get to the fuel pump without popping the tank open. Have someone turn the key to run (not start) and you should hear the pump cycle for a few seconds. I can hear mine which is in my tank of my 03 Silverado, from the drivers seat with the window down and in a fairly quiet place. Fuel filter might be the culprit as well, its a VERY commonly overlooked item that could make all the difference in the world between running and not. Takes 10 mins on my truck to swap out, and 8 of them are checking for leaks afterwords.

Try to get ahold of Mark Lancaster (masterrigger1 on here). He has what seems like a trim chart for every canopy ever. "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

Good luck... It took me several months of trying to get the damn software to install it properly (they gave me a link to a dropbox that's somehow corrupted and wouldn't let me install.) It took me driving to another dz and copying their disk.

But they can pull the ol "Reasonable expectation of privacy" while you're in your car, which is defined as private. Of course, that won't stop them from arresting your ass for the 10lbs of Colombian bam bam in the back seat because they could see it thru your window. The police do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in YOUR car. Again, not sure it is worth it to fight such nonesense, but it is nonesense. It's a double-edged sword. Many states have laws that prohibit electronically recording another person speaking without that person's advance permission. (That's why so many recorded phone intros always say "this call may be recorded for quality assurance", because if you don't hang up, you impliedly grant permission.) So in some states the "police example" can be claimed to be simply a matter of enforcing existing law. (It's basically the down-side to an otherwise beneficial law: what protects you and me from being bugged and wiretapped also has the secondary result of shielding police in the field from having their conduct recorded and preserved for review in the light of day.) So could I put a sign on my window that says you may be recorded while in the vicinity of this vehicle and be legal (unless he tells me to not record it, which would somehow still feel wrong)?
