X-Fire2 front riser pressure
kansasskydiver replied to kansasskydiver's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Only 50 jumps on the canopy so it shouldn't be out of trim, i hope not atleast... And the brakes are actually a bit long so i know the tails isn't deflecting air. I turn into my turns with the harness to add to the carve too. Also, I'm not a weakling either, I can hold my own and when I can't pull down the right front riser to counter steer there's something wrong -
X-Fire2 front riser pressure
kansasskydiver replied to kansasskydiver's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I'm flying a XF2 at 1.75:1 and it seems to be building an EXTREMELY large amount of front riser pressure yesterday and found myself in an odd situation. Here are the senarios, see if anyone can figure it out or if you have the same situation on this canopy . -winds at 0-5mph out of north -approach (270) for crosswind landing -started at around 500-700 ft, harness inputs to get setup to that point. -carved around and at around 100-150ft the riser pressure was so much that I could hold down my left riser, went to do doubles and couldn't pull them down, went to counter to the right and couldn't as well. -aborted swoop to avoid object (hanger) that i was pointed at. had to use toggles to adjust back onto flight path I found it very odd that I had built up so much pressure that I couldn't counter steer it with the other riser. Anyone experienced extremely high front riser pressure on a XF2? My sabre 170 had never built up this much pressure... any thoughts into this would be appreciated -
Watch Good Stuff too, you get a better view of the deployment, where he reaches and of course him SMACKING his head on exit

Clicky cool vid, can't wait to get mine

uh ohh security leak!!! As to the rig, is this the new rig you're talking about or his first one? On his first one he didn't have a boc nor a rol, it was about where his cutaway handle would have been which I believe is the same placing for the pilot rigs. Correct me if I'm wrong, just didn't know if you were talking about his new rig or the old one
-
And that was a custom made rig too, setup exactly like his military rig was with the handles etc. Hopefully he doesn't smack his head on exit this time either. Remind him to bend his knees, if he still can

I work at a help desk and get all the stupid questions from people "So if I turn off my computer will I have to reinstall the software?" "Double click on my computer (woman picks up the mouse and puts it on the monitor)" "Did you put a filter on each phone in the house? -Yes -How many phones do you have? -4 -How many filters did you install? -Just one -Sooooooooooooo you DIDN'T install a filter on each phone" "Ummm yeah, I'm at a screen that's asking "Do you have an existing member id ending in @domain.com?" What do I do? Ok, now what? Ok now what? Ok do I press next? Ok now what, it says enter my name? Now what? Ok it asks for my birthdate, what do I do? Ok now what?"

Would it kinda be the same as the rigid wing crossing of the English channal? They weren't inflated, rather an actually wing, but the pricipal of that picture looks almost the same

well i'm going to give into the crack and pick up a suit here within the next week or so. that'll make me the 1st at the dz to own a suit and some others who have flown. I am 5% of the dz lol so once Thor and Superwoman come down to flock and maybe Tony we'll have 20% of the dz that day with suits. There aren't too many high number jumpers just due to the way the club is set up. Every 4 years we filter through and a new group of 50jump wonders take over
-
I threw a party, got everyone drunk, was the only one NOT hung over in the morning and well, everyone who could jump was lol. Sucks being a small dz and being spring break when everyone is gone. We finally got 5 loads off today, I was on 4 of them so I'm happy. "note to self, don't throw party night before good weather..."

Mine was jump 17th, packing error (line over). Have had a "quasi" mal the same weekend each year since, but haven't chopped the over 2. 2001 - Line over 2002 - Line over on 2nd cell in, popped the riser and cleared it 2003 - Left brake wouldn't release, Comp Cobalt, landed with one toggle wrapped around my right hand and rear riser on left

More than likely, if I remember correctly, win 98 doesn't let you just do a "upgrade" or install of missing files. By installing the software ontop of itself you're not really fixing any problems, just installing them again, or did you do a reformat and then install? If you did a reformat and then installed win98 then that's your problem. The drivers for your video card were installed on your HD. If you have a built on video card, more than likely you'll need to get the drivers from the OEM (HP, Compaq, Gateway etc) If it was a built computer you'll need to get the drivers for the onboard video from the manu's website. To check all this do the below=> right click my computer>properties>device manager> if there are any missing drivers or incorrect drivers it will show them right off the bat with either a "?" "!" or "X" on the device. Another place to look is in a category called "Other devices" if there is anything listed in there, depending on what it is, this could be your problem. Also, check the category called "Monitor" and see if it's recognizing your monitor. Post again and let us know with some more information on how you installed windows and what your device manager looks like Chris

Oh I've been jumping, just not at my DZ yet And watch out Dave!!! I'll probably have yet another video up here soon after the weekend. We're throwing a welcome in the good weather party tonight. Hopefully we dont drink tooooo much -
Directly quote from info booth on campus this week: Girl- "I wanna join a club!" (in stupid sorority voice) Us- "Well ever thought about skydivng?" Girl- "Hell yeah. Can I be on like the team or something?" Us- "Well if you take the training and get your license yes" Girl- "Didn't someone die skydiving from you guys' club..." Us- "Yes, but he wasn't a student, he was flying a modified jumpsuit to achieve longer flight and freefall" Girl- "OH HELL NO!!! You mean I could get hurt skydiving!?!" Us- "No comment..." another personal favorite, phone call we received: Us: "KSUPC" Girl: "Yeah I saw your ad on TV and was curious about skydiving." Us: "Explained skydiving and how we did our training etc" Girl: "...Oh, I don't think I have the guts to do that, what about parachuting, do you guys do that too?"

kansasskydiver replied to kansasskydiver's topic in Photography and Video
Just curious who all using computers vs. editting boards etc? Also, how do you produce your DVD's for tandems who want that option? How long does it usually take for you and do you just have them wait or mail it? -
