I wasn't thinking about using this mod, i'm quite happy with the hackey i have. Just pointing out that all the tube handles i've seen are attached with a tape running through the pipe and can't see how a half pipe hackey is going to be attached.

Skydiving After Taking a Cross-Country Flight
twibbles replied to FCipollo's topic in Safety and Training
The rule of thumb is that you shouldn't be flying after being diving. Jumping after flying is not an issue: poople do multiple jumps a day and that's not a problem, and every skydive starts with a flight up. But if i'm wrong please feel free to correct me.

How would attach the half pipe handle to the pilot chute? E "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Interesting tibit, sometimes this poem is read to the haggis just before it is served... http://www.rabbie-burns.com/thepoems/address.htm E "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Did a 2-way with a friend the other day.. funneled the exit but refused to let go. Eventually got stable with one grip, me on my belly and him on his back falling perfectly stable.. Still trying to figure out what happened. E "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Not sure if anyone else noticed the Ariane 5 rocket in the background... 6.5 metric ton payload to geosync orbit High altitude jumps anyone? Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

A bit off topic, but just noticed your FAI number's only 4 away from mine. Back on topic, very true. I'm still having fun and working on the finer points of FS after 60 FS jumps. Just starting to get into big ways. Amazing how much fun a good 16-way was! Not planning to really start learning to freefly until summer and some tunnel time. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

I was told by a freeflyer that freeflying invloves flying in every position possible, including flat. So it works out better if you get FS1 before venturing into freeflying. For me, i'm planning to go for a canopy control course next, just to get my landings somewhat accurate. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created.

Just imagine, The Bosnia Boogie.. When it happens, i'll be there! Very glad i can help, you're family after all.. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

I think it's a great idea, it's the least i can do. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Might depend on the airline that buys the aircraft. The manufacturers build the airframe and fit the interior to the l specifiactions of the buyers. I think the toliets on Boeings are made in Japan and the ones inthe Airbus are made in Germany usually... Seats and cabin set up could come from anywhere. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
-
My choice is Airbus, but then i'm slightly biased because i want a job with them when i graduate. Food for thought, the wing box, the bit of the cabin between the wings, is structually the strongest, but there's where the bulk if the fuel is.. More comfortable though, closer to the CG so you feel less of the yaw and pitch. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created.

Well, less pain torelance and more stupidity really , my left ankle's quite prone to being twisted now, but that was more the 9 hours hiking back through a jungle. And to be honest,, i'm guilty of sliding in my landings and was slaughtered trying to fence sabre standing still. I guess once your doctor gives the OK and you fell comfortable, you're all set!

Ditto. Always so much better in the original language and subtitles. And Stephen Chow is a great in comedys, watched him growing up. Some i can recomend are Jackie Chan movies(police story), and "Once upon a time in China", the one with Jet Li. Don't speak cantonese myself but did have to learn mandrian in school in singapore, govement policy. edited to add: glad to see that the classic Hong Kong actors are getting more popular worldwide.

I have to admit i saw the show a few months back, so my memory's a bit fuzzy. I was thinking that if they got him in on the program, he'll point them in the right direction. Buy they got a skydiver in as well, i think that's the main guy they interviewed.. They took long time to get to the point, but they do have a whole hour to fill.

Thanks! Got to say, i love it here. Here it goes, abbreviated story of my life: Born Malaysian, in Singapore. Lived in Malaysia until 16, but studied in Singapore during that time. Went to a boarding school in the UK at 16, during which my parents moved into Singapore. Now, 4 years later and I'm still doing my first degree in Bristol. (Well, second one really, the first didn't get anywhere) Been livng in a new house every yeat for the last 5 year, 1 year contracts. The two things that stayed the same for the last 4 years was my DZ and dropzone.com Love you people! Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created.

yup, got everything new. Have a Triathlon 150 in it, ordered it christmas last year so got 30% off the main from stock. Got the Tri instead of the pilot partly because i ws trying to get it into an I3.. Glad i didn't. Can you imagine trying to pack that? Love the triathlon as well, easy canopy to fly and land.

Sad to say, i only just got broadband in my room lately.. Renting a place here where i'm studying, nominal home with other computer's 13 hours direct flight away... Be seeing me a lot more in the future! Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
-
Love it! it's getting a re-pack at the moment. Be jumping it tomorrow if the weather allows. The first 20 packs were interesting to say the least. New canopy... Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Hmm, can't count... and i'm suppose to be an engineer some day. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
