    No, but then with the debt this country is in I don't think it should be providing aid to anyone. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Eh, I'm still betting it's a "fling". Miss you two bunches! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    LEarn why that is, and you'll be a better canopy pilot. Understanding aerodynamics is key to being a good parachute pilot. Now get back to me with why you might "pop back up" after a front riser dive.

    I've seen that thing a few times, on older gear, and more than a few times on Bill Gargano''s stuff (Quantum Parachutes). Cleaning out Bill's Shop after he moved was fun. Lot's of genius in that man's head! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    How is a good will mission being twisted into a badge os shame for others. Same on you. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Remember, these are the guys who in WWII decided it was going to be cheaper and less of an effort to deploy troops by dropping them on very slow, low altitude jumpruns into snow banks rather than equip and train them with parachutes. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Nice mod. Good thinking. As an aside, is your rig custom measured and fit to you? I ask as in all my jumps I've never has any sort of legstrap retention device installed, and it's my feeling that a properly fit rig shouldn't need one. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Disagree. It is not the USPA's role to train skydivers, whether new or experienced. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The DZ doesn't have to be a GM member, but if it is not it is supposed to pay some sort of fee for the course. Matt Which is a bastardization of the rule that was put into place,a nd how it was intended to be run. The "fee" is equivalent to a GM Membership. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Must be this newer generation of workers. You would think that with this economy, people would be trying harder to keep their jobs. Or maybe it is just the area I live in. Area people like this every where else in the states?? Not when there is a safety net. Oh and this is for you:...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWfaiTLPUKQ ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    That seems to be an assumption on your part, and as many assumptions are, it's wrong. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Nothing wrong with that procedure IF a reasonable pull altitude and harddeck are kept in mind. For a wingsuit jump I'd call that 3,500 and 2,000. Now if she's smoking it down to 2,500 or lower, then it's a crater bait scenario. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Time to quit. If they didn't pay you to shoot it, it's yours. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    It's bullshit base, and Jester is an asshat. This is the kind of ship that brought on a Tar and Feather in your day Nick. Why is it cool now? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Sounds like you have the skill, and experience to be trying a 330ish, of course that's said without seeing you fly. It's a unique skill we have t have, build, and master, learning to fly a different wingloading on the same canopy every jump. Remember the same concerns about downsizing apply. Faster reactions to the same input, higher speed, change in recovery arc. Also keep in mind there's not always a good reason to be jumping a 330. Unless you're doing 1000 tandems a year, it's probably not the right tool for taking the big boys. It's also may not be the right teaching canopy for advanced tandems. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    How many tandem jumps do you have? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. diablopilot
    I think the definition of "small" when pertaining to a tandem canopy has more to do with wingloading, and instructor experience/ability than anything else. I'm pretty comfortable taking up to my max weight limit (235) on a 330. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Your statement said: "well, you DONT buy a jumpsuit off the shelf to begin with.." I asked if it fits why not. You made a statement that you don't do something. Again, not my fault you gave bad or incomplete information. again, you quote incomplete information; go play your kindergartengames with someone else, i've had it for now.. if you cant read, dont write, it's pretty simple! gosh, sometimes i really think this forum is only full of twats.. Pot, meet Kettle. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
