I called Ralph and he does not have any in stock in my size. He is going to check with PISA and see if they happen to have a 210 on the shelf for me. I bet there is one sitting on a shelf somewhere tho. Thanks

I am looking to buy a 210 Hornet and can't find one. I haven't been looking all that long but I figure one of you may have seen one in my size sitting on a shelf somewhere and could give me a heads up on who to contact. Thanks, Pete....

Thanks. I am going to try and find a 210 Hornet I think. I won't be able to choose the colors but that doesn't matter that much. My next concern is if it will fit in my Rig. I demoed a Spectre 190 and it fit well, but when I bought my container it said that a 210 with microline would be tight. I have been looking at packing volume numbers and I don't think that everyone uses the same method to messure them. Thanks again. Pete PS I have a J4K Odessey.

My landings have been pretty good. I was jumping a 230 for a few jumps and it was really slow. My instiuctors think that a 190 is about as big as I should go. I think that I want to be a little more conservative than that. When I bought my container from my instructor he had it sized so that a 210 is the biggest canopy that will fit in it.(the guide said it would fit tight) I like how the 210 lands. the 190 spectre that I jumped was super zippy. I would pull a toggle down to my ear and it turned like the 210 with the toggle burried. Thanks

Here is the story. I have 30 jumps down here in Texas. I have been trying to get all my gear together so I won't have to rent anymore. I am 216 pounds the last time I checked and have a Javelin Oddessy and a Pd193 reserve. I need to buy a main. I usually jump a 210 Triathalon when I rent and don't know whether I should buy a 210 for my own rig or should go with a 190 and just get used to it. I have jumped a 190 once and it was pretty darn fast. What do you think? 190 or 210. I think I am going to buy either a Hornet or a Sabre2. Thanks, Pete

Tripas (tripe) and menudo. Good stuff. Great for a bad hangover. -
I once read about the"chute and shoot weekend" when the competitors have to jump for accuracy and then shoot in three stages. They have to shoot rifle, pistol and submachinegun and the winner get a new main. You have to have a D license. I am going to compete as soon as I get D rated. stik

The AK-74 is the replacement for the AK-47. Chack the link for info:http://izhmash.udm.ru/arms/ak74m.html Really a great Gun, but I would not use one for a sniper rifle. By the way, the 5.56mm or .223 cartridge is totally different from the 5.45mm.

At my old job my boss had a patch of watermelon. They were over ripe and he wasn't going to pick anymore of them. These things were about to burst on their own. They where a blast to shoot. We put a bunch on top of some fence posts and shot them with my Python. There was northing left. Just a spray of watermelon juice. Coolest targets ever.......

My other hobby is guns. I collect all kinds but my favorite are my machine guns. Once I got my first one I barely shot my other guns. I still shoot my three .22 shorts, they are sooo fun to shoot. By the way, anyone that can legally buy a handgun can also own a machine gun legally. Little known fact, everyone thinks they are illegal. stik

I don't know if the patch would help. I will ask him if he has tried it. He may have to come down to San Marcos to get on the Otter. I looked on the internet to find an otter DZ but all the ones around Vegas are Cessna operations.I will tell him to bring an "airsickness bag". I guess he could toss it out the door right before he goes out...

One of my friends who lives in Vegas want to get into the sport but he get airsick pretty quick. Is there a Super Otter DZ anywhere near him? I want him to be able to get out of the airplane before the puking starts.

I just bought a VW Jetta TDi. It is a really nice car and it gets 50 miles to the gallon. Nice stereo too. I had a Grand Am and it died so I needed a car right away.

Where do I get the mini rig backpacks that I have seen at the DZ? I want to get one for my son. He want a parachute like his dad's but he is only 3.
