    THe EP's are completely different than with conventional gear, the main will last for shit in the skydiving environment compared to a ZP main, and you really want to limit yourself to jumping in 10 mph winds or were you planning on getting a bunch of experience on undersized rounds? The right tools for the job man. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Canopy, lines, links and slider. That's it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    There was a huge amount of inertial energy in those rotor blades, I believe they had 42 lbs weights in the tips. One of the things that makes an engine out so survivable in that craft. The lack of them makes an auto rotation in a Robbie a dicey thing. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The FAA may have a point here. There are definitions of legal and permissible placards in an aircraft. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I finally replaced my 1st freefly suit that became my tandem suit after 2000+ tandems and a bunch of freefly jumps. I still have it and replaced it with an identical Bomber Freefly Suit by FliteSuit. www.flitesuit.com ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

    JoJo Wings is a canopy manufacturer. The XF15 is a cross braced canopy design of theirs. The German Parachute Federation mandated that all mains must be classified by "type" and certified similar to reserves. http://www.jojowing.com/company/company.php ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

    Fuckin' 'A' Bubba And there we have it. It's a Weld the doors shut, throw a Confederate flag on the ol' NC-1701 and we'll "Bubba up" them Star Trekers kinda movie. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Was impressed by the cinematography, and special effects. Over all the movie had too much of an ADHD flavor, and I'll agree with Paul, the CGI might be great but the "real" sets were fucking garbage. I mean a push bar door (Federation outpost) in the 23 century? I'll give it a "meh". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Nothing. They are following the rules (as far as ratings go). . Jan, I disagree. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I don't get it, there are two on the left and two on the right, which one are you talking about? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Really? Really. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    No, they don't have to be a group member. The most recent change to the USPA regs stated that is an INDIVIDUAL is a USPA member, and they do tandems they must be a USPA tandem instructor. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Not all canopies have stabilizers and not all stabilizers are slack. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Including this post? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    It's still a risk, and no one has the right to subject a student to an added risk. Adding a photographer is an added risk to the tandem, still we do it.. It's a risk that has been mitigated by some rules, and approved of by the manufacturer and rating organizations only when those rules are followed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
