    US Phone number is in Parachutist last month. 3 Calls & messages, no return call... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I seriously doubt it's a problem for freeflying. It can be a contributing factor to an increase in line twists if you wear your harness with the chest strap too tight (easy to do on an dual articulated harness) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Because you know 95% of all statistics are made up on the spot. Sheesh. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    It's nice, but right now I'd have to go with the Icarus 365. The toggle pressure is lighter, and you don't have to stow/unstow the brakes. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    This also contributes to reducing the spread of your left and right riser groups and can increase the chance of linetwists. Know a guy who had 3 chops and was about send his canopy back as defective untill he tried wearing the rig the way it is suposed to be, and had no furthur problems. The rings we ineffective. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I don't know what to say about that. I'm mad at the perp, and full of sorrow for the boy, and family. I feel joy that the man was able to live his life to the fullest, and upset that such a fine person was taken from this world so soon. BSBD&RIP ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Nipples are nice. So is that spot between her chin and bottom lip. Don't know what it's called. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Yes it does. And the Sigma Lenses are quite nice. I've got the 14mm and it's beautiful... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    AFAIK only on tandems. Most sport jumpers don't bother. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    If I were the KO'ed TM in your senario, I'd rather you deploy the main. Putting a Reserve out past a drouge is a bigger chance IMO. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Sure but do ya want to test it? I'll keep wearing my helmet so those over eager students don't KO me on the top of the door! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Remember that if the TM gets KO'ed on exit they probably won't have the drouge out meaning they'll be doing about 170. The would mean the cameraflyer has to do several things, dock at 170 mph, deploy the drouge, hang on for a few seconds, then release the main. Or you could go strait to the reserve, it's *suposed* to be able to handle that. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    And IIRC SkyDance also not only provides oxygen, but insists the TM and student use it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. diablopilot
    Sure you can, just have to request it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. diablopilot
    That's cause it involve a lot of alcohol huh? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Take it to a REALLY good camera shop and have a remote connection hard-wired in. It can and has been done. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I love this one, and have used it before, because everyone walks away happy. And if the don't, well they'll get over it. Or not. At the end of the day, I'm happy if everyone involved goes home safe. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    As long as we are draging out dead horses to beat, you've just pointed out my reason for choosing a pullout for the last 2200+ jumps..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I know of a couple of Brits who were on a mission to set the world record static-line jump. Got out of a Cessna 208 (Caravan) at SkyDance in Davis, CA at something just over 30,000agl. Wickedly hard openings! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    So I pose this: When the reserve comes out and relieves the pressure on the main tray, allowing the main to come out during your reserve deployment, do you wish to deal with two out (no cutaway) or a possible entanglement with no way of controlling the main(cutaway)? Yes, you could still have an entanglement with the first option (no cutaway), but you still have some control over the main. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
