marks 0 #26 January 17, 2007 this is what can happen when you get TINY HMA lines. this is also, in my opinion, why the line stows for this line type need to be small, like about an inch- an inch and a half. but I could be wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhys 0 #30 January 17, 2007 >It has happened on 4 occasions, this being the forth case. It all cases tension knots were the culprit. Is the same Type of HMA used by all companies that offer HMA linesets? if not then is one type more prone to this phenomenon?"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrigger1 2 #31 January 17, 2007 Rhys, As far as I know, Skyworks and now ,PD, are the only two companies using it. Yes. The smaller the line, the more prone to this type malfunction.

Cheers, MEL MEL I thought PD were NOT supplying lines as small as your blue 340 HMA (to regular jumpers). I suppose I need to be careful with my stock JVX 350 HMA. Thanks for posting, I am now going to look at packing without rotating the bag 90 degrees.... rm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrigger1 2 #35 January 18, 2007 Rob, They are not as I know it. Just to the Pro Swoopers. Good thoughts on the bag rotation. It is best to simply place the D-bag with the grommet up, especially with the center stow bags! Cheers, MEL PS- your "350' lb line is really 340 lb stuff. I forgot to mention Jyro puts it on the JVX and the GLX-XF.Skyworks Parachute Service, LLC www.Skyworksparachuteservice.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
