It's gonna be a long year. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Really? You think you're an "Instructor"? Right. Who issues your rating? I resent you using this Instructors forum to push you're agenda. Keep load organizing, and coaching in a forum where it belongs. I think this forum really needs to be used to spread information to those involved in basic and entry level skydiving instruction, not advanced coaching. That's what topical forums are for. Get the mods to create an "Atmo" forum if you need, but stop creating more noise here. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

where have you packed?

The 37 is a JVX, a different canopy design than the VX. I'd still be interested to see them laid out on top of one another. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Might not be quite as cool as your Otter, but I have jumped one of these:http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled/Untitled/1303023&photo_nr=1&prev_id=&next_id=1062153

I'll add to that. I used to wear skate type shoes. Then I hurt my heel and in an effort to reduce pain and improve healing my friend suggested cross trainers or running shoes. Well not only did it help, but my lower back hurts alot less frequently now. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I roll em. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Nope. Check post #90 Yes. It was stated that there has been live video feed from freefall before, but it doesnt tell if they were communicating with people on the ground at the same time.. While I'm not sure if it was the first time, there was air to ground audio and video on an Airspeed 8 way at Perris for the 2004 or 2005 Nationals. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

Nah, I know some cool people who enjoy the cushier openings provided by Dacron, and we CRW dogs like the doesn't-slice-through-flesh properties of Dacron as opposed to the razor wire feeling that other types of line exude when wrapped around an arm and pulled tight. Oh my gosh, more good reasons for dacron lines. Who da thunk it! But, but, it's not "cool"! What's a skydiver to do? Jump what's cool, or jump what's safe and practical. I just don't know which is more important... Hey John, there's not one answer for everyone. If there was, you'd be jumping a Manta. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Yeah, if it's pre-existing it doesn't take much, and I can tell you from personel experience, as soon as you grap their hand, they stop flying with the arm and start supporting themselves by pulling on you. It's one reason you'll see good instructors stay on the sidebody, until the student is very stable. Control points on the body are the same as AFF, they are the core mass (torso), and as secondary points you can use the legs down but remaining above the knee joing and the upper arms above the elbow. Anything lower, and you're asking for a rollover or injury. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
-
Could be a pre-existing condition, but it's also why the IBA instructors are trained NOT to use the lower arm as a point of control. It can cause injury, and it's next to useless as a contol point. I would have liked to see the instructor/controler relationship work a little better there. Idealy the wind speed should have come down to the point that the instructor wouldn't have to slide the student out, but rather comunicate with them in place IMO. It's not always the easiest job to make calls on the fly though, and instructors do the best they can with the tools avaliable to them at the time.

It's a matter of having a well built knife, not what that knife is made of. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Queen Air's have the same issues as King airs, plus they are slow to altitude. But they do provide entertainment by watching, listening, and waiting for those engines to rip themselves apart! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

402's are VERY sensitive to an aft CG situation so keep the weight foward untill the pilot indicates it's safe to move, and don't crowd the door while the goup(s) before are climbing out. It's no fun to be on one when it stalls, but being outside makes it a little better. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
-
Wait untill you're in one stalled on jump run.

Now I'm wondering what that packs like. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Hiya Jim.

source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmonauti J Pizzle it was you who invented it?! Shhhh....everyone will want one and there's only so much of me to go around! I can't be sure who made that wiki entry, but I have a pretty good idea. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Thank goodness!

What do you consider "close"? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
