  1. Mr. Booth - do you jump a ZP pilot chute or F-111, and why?
  2. Chck this thread on this issue, it has some good info from Bill Booth and JumpShack: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=924793#924793
  3. Here is the thread on why the crystal ball was eliminated: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=624693#624693
  4. Make sure you have not closed your credit card, or that you have enough credit limit on it... Maybe that is the case?
  5. "Rubber bands break for a reason"... : http://www.jumpshack.com/default.asp?CategoryID=TECH&PageID=Rubberbands&SortBy=DATE_D
  6. To me, just this info is priceless: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=&search_type=AND&search_fields=sb&search_time=&search_user_username=billbooth&sb=post_time&mh=999
  7. Repost. Same thread (plus indicating a myth) is here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=500294#500294
  8. Some boogies require D license. I think night jumps and night records require it, too.

  10. You are confusing it with TALKA (DELTA PZ-81) reserve. It was a single skin, non ram-air canopy. I have one reserve ride on it... There is no freebag, reserve is "freepacked". Very light toogle pressure, not too hard landing for non ram-air canopy. The reserve PC was connected to the the "cross-connector only" no-fabric-slider to slow the deployment process
  11. Here - with fatal results: http://www.atsb.gov.au/aviation/pdf/vh-mmv.pdf
  12. Which part of my post are you refereing to? BTW, I was comparing non pop-tops to non pop-tops, so I excluded Racers and Reflexes.
  13. Vector 3 is the only rig, which reserve pin cover flap resists a push (like door strike, etc.) from any direction (thanks to a "fold back"). On other rigs, if a strong push is applied from the bottom up, the reserve flap can move upward (and move a pin), even if the flap stays "closed".
  14. $2189 is the new base price for Vector 3-M and Micron . Here is the new price list from RWS, effective June 6th: http://www.relativeworkshop.com/SportPriceList.PDF Mirage's new price is $2099, as per Paragear.com
  15. News dated 05.27.05, here: http://www.relativeworkshop.com/home.html
  16. NEXT main cover flap is different that Vector 3's, Wings', etc. It folds back on the top, instead of just sliding in.
  17. How much difference does line type make (volumewise). If you have a Spectre 190 with 825lb Spectra, and you reline it with 525lb Dacron, is it like going one size up?
  18. Order it at the manufacturer's website here: http://www.robnik.com/Spare10.htm Very cheap
  19. Here is some dz.com info: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=gayardon+-re%3A&search_type=AND&search_fields=s&search_time=&search_user_username=&sb=score&mh=25
