    Jumping a few years on UPT/Scott's RDS. Works great on all terminal jumps.! Will

    The "Mid-west" excuse doesn't work. Made three jumps today , high of 12F. Will

    I agree with tdog. Also, for average size balloons (4-6 passengers), our local pilots usually decend at 200 ft/min per jumper getting out. Have fun!

    You should be able to fit any 190 in there. It will be tight though. Don't bother with any F111. Will

    Wings tend to be a little inconsistent on container sizing. I've just had to learn what each one takes. Will

    +1 to Scotts RDS. I jump it terminal all the time. I heard PD's is recommended for sub-terminal only. Can anyone confirm that? Will

    Just went through 2 airports this weekend. Going out no checks at all. Coming home, the usual explosives swab. No problems. Will

    +1 to what CSpenceFly said. I've seen that also, too bad the other DZ are a MUCH further drive. :( Will

    Another thing you can try is put a little more pilot chute bulk on top of the cap to create a "valley" for the cutter to sit in. Will

    Speed isn't always the goal, how about thoroughness. Will

    I don't know what your CYPRES date of mfg. is but remember you get +6 months from that date for service life. Will

    Flips are usually the easy part. Most people suck at falling flat and stable :)

    Chuck- your profile reads that you've been banned from a dz or two. Let's see that video :) Will

    Not to stomp on your flames but look closer, that was 2 regular jumpers... Will

    $2000-2500. No matter how good it looks it is still 16-17 years old. Will

    I liked the fabric...opened ok. That's about all I can say. WAY higher riser pressure than velo, started my 540's same altitute as 270 on velo. Will

    Split sliders are Black Death! Get slinks or a RDS (slider only). Will

    It depends, back flips are not the best idea out of a King air/other small door plane. IMHO, it's extra work getting turned around in any plane (except CASA/Van) and after doing a dozen+ jumps a day it's not worth the effort. Will

    ok K...A...R...L... Got it entered in my dead pool. Will

    $35 bucks. Video and stills. Drop tape at editor and go. Will

    The word on the street is they FAA won't be approving them for another couple months :(
