I do to, and I've even misrigged it one and caused myself a mal. It ads too much risk to not take care of it myself IMO. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

What is the purpose of Secondary Riser Covers?
diablopilot replied to 77r's topic in Gear and Rigging
It's a seperate (secondary) flap. Looks as if it's an exension of the reserve flap. The primary riser covers are of the more conventional type tucking from the outside of the shoulder, in, while the secondarys go from the inside towards the outside. It protects the riser for it's entire length, while not inhibiting deployment. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -

Has anyone ever heard of using a sabre as a reserve?
diablopilot replied to 77r's topic in The Bonfire
Have I heard of a Sabre used as a reserve? Yes? Was it legal? Nope. Not so sure I'd want a ZP reserve. When ZP fails, it fails in a big way. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -

How much different type of instructors should earns?
diablopilot replied to camamel's topic in Instructors
Not that I wouldn't love to get paid more, but I disagree with your logic. Whether gas is $50/gallon or free and whether I'm packing a $10000 rig or a $800 one, my overhead costs as a rigger/packer are no different, so why would the cost of a pack job increase exponentially with no increase in overhead costs? Cost of living increase. IN the 9 years I've been skydiving packers have only recently started making a bit more per pack job. OTH jump ticket prices have gone up about 25%. As for a $10000 rig, well you can't pack tandems as fast as you can pack small sport rigs so those should pay more. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

Packing for others does NOT require the packer to hold a riggers ticket. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -

Out of the three canopies listed there, I would take the Triathlon hands down. It's going to have much better performance over it's lifespan as it's a ZP canopy and the other two are not. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
