http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsZqN-uEgQU&feature=related That's a tad sporty for my taste. (fast forward to about 5 mins in) "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

Why did you kick him out? If he was willing and trying to take care of you, kicking him out probably made him feel pretty shitty. He came here and said he was hungry so he left me in bed and disappeared for TWO hours... I was wondering where the hell he was and too weak to get out of bed and lost my voice, so just waited (I haven't eaten all day, btw, too tired to get up)... Turns out he was outside, chatting with the neighbour (and eating all my cookies)... When he came in, all I wanted was to cuddle, but he said he was exhausted and fell asleep, snoring loudly... It's not that he should be at my beck-and-call just because I'm sick, but I'm not a goddamned restaurant / hotel either. Still, it was rude to send him home... I don't know what kind of day he's had... In my defence, he did eat ALL MY COOKIES... Ahh, then you're fully reasonable to kick him out. Some guys... FWIW, I've taken care of a few sick girls, even some that I wasn't happy with before had, just couldn't leave them to be miserable. Dunno how people don't have some compassion for sick significant others.

Just so you know, downsizing because it's cheaper to jump that canopy is a horrible idea. Sounds like you're sticking to the 220, that's a great idea.

Would be easier if the cover flap was modified IAW http://www.skydivewings.com/pdf/wings_midflap_update.pdf but still the jumper should be more cautious of that life saving gear on his back.

No, the pilots license still requires a 40 hours of flight time which you must have accomplished certain requirements, a written (which must be at an authorized testing facility) and an oral/practical. Furthermore, you cannot learn everything you need to know to be a pilot online. It takes a good bit of flying to just be able to do it safely. Now, when I read the thread, it seemed that the OP was talking about a full course with a test that gets signed off by the local S&TA or whatnot. That I do NOT agree with at all. I believe you're talking about more of an augmentation to the in person course that allows you to do lots of the studying beforehand, yet still have your skills and abilities tested by an examiner. If so, then yes, I would support that. However that sounds like a different animal than the OP was talking about.

There is an AFF-I at a local DZ that was doing AFF jumps without a helmet (he didn't have one) Turns out, I had a full face that would fit him collecting dust. Found someone going to the other DZ and he got a helmet. Met him a month or so later.

AFF Jitters- Losing Instructors?

Nah. For a few reasons: 1) I have no issues with viewing the site on my iPhone, sometimes replying to a post is a tad annoying but I'll live. 2) I don't have access to the code that the site runs on, so it would be a major pain in the ass to figure out how the database of posts is set up. 3) I'd have to support every fucking phone out there, which is just going to piss me off when someone on a Motoroloa V330 can't see his friends list.

Its because once the canopy opens, they are loading the top connection points and all the slack in the harness is pulled up. There is slack introduced when they're sitting in the plane, walking or moving around. Check all the straps are still snug, because they've probably loosened up from moving around. Do NOT crank them down while they're sitting in the plane! They will be super uncomfortable in freefall/canopy. Also after opening, I loosen their chest strap because it's usually digging into their chest once we open.

Do military rounds have the ability to cutaway?
theonlyski replied to soulbabel's topic in Gear and Rigging
US military rigs do (main canopies anyway) However, sometimes ya get a little tangled in the lines and even after you pop a canopy release assembly, you still get some dragging time. Been there, done that. "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 -
If you can bring it back up, Id be willing to chip in some time to help keep it clean. As far as a forum on here, I'd love to see it too.

Well, there's yer problem! Seriously though, I'm not 100% sure. I can offer a test if you're not afraid to dig a little deeper into your phone.

No, that would be a transformer. An inverter changes DC to AC. Not always, it could be a switching power supply that doesn't use transformers. Furthermore, I don't believe I've ever seen a transformer that will work with DC. To go 12V DC to 24V DC would need a DC-DC power converter.

a hole in your canopy's top skin- what would you do?
theonlyski replied to shayelk's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
If my canopy had a hole on it's top skin. I'd probably patch it. FWIW, I've seen some pretty f-ed up canopies fly and land fine. We're talking about blown ribs and skins, broken lines and such.
