  1. Oh, what a shame. Such a beautiful aircraft...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. Uh-huh. Right. Sure he was. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. 2 of them, and about 3000 pieces of vinyl to go with. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. Relax Francis. You know how many jump pilots have told me just to get out in those conditions? I'm not endangering anyone's career. I will not exit an A/C unless the pilot has approved it or the wings are comming off. That said, conditions that are maginal might be ok for me, but if I'm with a student, then things change. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. What makes THEM qualified then? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. Now you're just flirting! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. Is it an IR (infrared) device? Most modern wireless ones for cameras are. If so, it needs to be line of sigh and there for will be dificult to make work. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. That's one oppinion. Many "freeflyers" who film tandems can't do 50% of the job a talented "cameraman" can. Belly, back, sit, or anything else, that's how you get the good products. That's fine, if you're good enough (and I thonk YOU are) but too many DZ's allow people who forget that the quality of product is EVERYTHING, to work. Edit: I fly in whatever orientation I feel will suit the needs of the jump to achive best product.
  9. Depends on the DZ and if I know where I am. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. Nothing. Most have the basic knowlage and experience to advise on sugested novice wingloading. Other than that..... Experience, and open mind and longevity in the sport can give a better ablility to give good advice. Working in the gear industry helps a bit too. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Hmmm...looks like I should bring my camera tomorrow.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Naw....not reliable at all..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. After doing more than a few tandems (read: several hundered) a good TI will probably find they can land their students more comfortably (read: safely) by generating a little speed prior to the flare. Whether they do this throught the brake/surge technique, or a toggle turn, it's still safe if they are experience in the technique. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. I want some!! Edit.....found 'em...http://www.superdairyboy.com/poweriser.html ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. Wal-Mart will probably fuck up the oil change anyway. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. Yes. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. HOOTIE something.......... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. I've heard good things, but that might be my imagination. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. Errr...nevermind. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Ummm.....Sally? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. Bite me. I'm gonna be sippin' tropical drinks and wearing bremuda shorts in our WARM tunnel. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. They are wrong. There is no need to untwist them under load, and rigging in the air is dangerous. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
