    The bridle had a curved pin the usual location, and the larks headed pud/grommet/pin had a straight pin. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    No. On the system I used prior to going all pullout for wingsuits, the handle on the top of my PC was a small pud, and the pull out portion was removable as it was larks headed to the bridle. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Your options without adding a BOC pocket are going to be either jump it with the pull out system, or use a suit that has the BASE pocket. If your jump numbers are accurate, I wouldn't worry about it much right now, by the time you're ready, you'll have friends rigs you can borrow or rent. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

    Tell him to keep his chin on his chest for deployment and he'll aw'ight...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I don't have a lot of extra money right now, but I'd be part of that project if it happened. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Hey, at least they'll be flying, not standing in the doorway watching a 4way team. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I'm 2 for 6300 if you don't count bumps and bruises. 1 for 6300 if you count injuries that stopped me from jumping, but then I can't recommend doing tandems with cracked ribs anymore. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    That is a good story! I'm training at SBA which is a towered airport in a Class C, and when my CFI got out she instructed me to advise the tower I was a student pilot on my first solo. I'm pretty sure absolutely everyone in that tower facility took the opportunity to answer one of my calls in the next three touch and go's just to offer a congratulations!

    Soon, very soon.

    Ok my constructive help. I really like the "Protektor" rubber case for the Viso, Optima, and Solo, and it does make mounting a bit smoother. Also there is a pair of gloves avaliable that has a mount pocket on it that works nice. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    He's definately in the running fro that one. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Micro sigma

    diablopilot replied to mgw's topic in Instructors

    SDO has standard Sigmas or Micro Sigmas? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The difference is you know your limitations, and fly within them when it comes to producing a paid for product. I had to do 100 video jumps and show the product to my DZO before I was ever let near a tandem. I see too many 200 to 300 TOTAL jump skydivers buy some gear, and want to get paid from jump 1. Then they start off with the front float exits and sit/back flying shots. That's not what's being paid for. If jumpers want to become good a videoing tandems, they'll listen to the TI's and other experience flyers. They'll spend more time on the camera step learning hot to get the right exit, and on their bellies getting the solid shots, till it's almost both boring and automatic, BEFORE doing the "creative" shenaigains. Even after we have that extra bag o' tricks, a good tandem camera flyer will only use them sparingly. More "dazzle" really doesn't cover up a lack of "substance". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    First day here, or did you just notice that?

    It's something.

    Will do re: the questions. And I don't know yet what form of aviation I want to get into, but you can bet I'll drop a jumper at some point in the future.....
  22. diablopilot
    That's exactly what my CFI said. Then she said "Now go tell everyone!" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. diablopilot
    Nah, just collect their spents in a bag, and then dump them in the front seat of their car. They'll get the point. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Better to have a relaxed time..... sorry you were stressed, hope 2008 is relaxing for ya.

    Unattainable? We'll as long as we're shooting for out of my league.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
