  1. I find it more interesting that they weren't looking up. It looks like the game was in progress as they landed. Was this a bandit demo? That's what I was thinking. Was going to say off landing but it looks like it was intentional.

  5. So how's that 26' LoPo doing these 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
  6. I just got a new job (start in a couple weeks). I didn't bring up that I am a skydiver or anything to that effect. Yesterday I had to fill out the HR paperwork and it requires me to list other employment... So I did, but didn't make a big deal about it. I did talk to my program manager about the airplane I'm building though.
  7. I can confirm that Thanksgivings with Ashli's family are something not soon forgotten. "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. You're new here. We will laugh at you for anything. Gear that is pink will just make it easier to find something. "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. Well, in theory if he rolled it and reduced power, that shouldn't allow it to climb. You can hold an angle of attack at a power setting with a good back pressure (up elevator) and not gain any altitude. Granted, that's on the line of stalling usually, but it can be done and I'd venture to say any certified pilot has practiced slow flight. I don't remember what point he put the flaps in at, but that may have made a difference as well I think. If the elevator was broken free, it doesn't really mean that he still has control over it.

  10. I'll chalk the pay difference up as compensation for mine being not as 'cool' as yours. "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

  12. i have to disagree, thats the funny thing about skydiving, you can get hurt on either side Yes, you can get hurt either way, but like I said, you won't get hurt from staying on the conservative side. I've never heard of an incident that would be prevented had the jumper been less conservative. Jumping a big ass Navigator in winds that were a bit high for my loading on that canopy and a bad spot, I ended up landing backwards in an open field about 2 miles from the LZ. Had I not noticed the situation when I did, I probably wouldn't have spiraled down to get to the ground before I got pushed over a large set of trees. So, yes, you can get hurt from conservative but you are MUCH more likely to get hurt from going the other way when you're not ready for it. I load my sport canopy at about 1.3 (Safire2 169). While I could probably easily slide right into a 149, I see no reason to.

  17. Here are some pictures of how the runway actually looks now. Appears the displaced threshold has been moved.

  18. The 206 we lease will take off after our 182 and beat it to altitude every time. They're not bad planes though I'm not sure how much more use it will be as we only ever put 5 (plus pilot) in it.

  21. Chutingstar is also selling the Aerosport bags. You take measurements off your current bag and they build them to match. http://www.chutingstar.com/gear/aerosports-nostobag You'll likely be happy with either, but IMO the Aerosport bag will be more forgiving of a downsize because it has actual tuck tabs that don't require friction from the canopy to hold the line stow pocket shut.

  25. 300 hundred?? Shit, it better be made of pure gold with titanium re-enforcement! If you could swing $300 for a 7-31 that runs, I'd get it!
