PeteS 0 #2 August 19, 2010 No difference in the sets Mel or I produce, they are from his files. Depends where you are located as to the choice of him or myself. The feed back I get is positive, no real complaints. The HMA we use tends to make for slower openings that can expose jumper problems during deployment. Example, raising a leg, contributing to off heading problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Example, raising a leg, contributing to off heading problems. Pete put a lovely new lineset on the Pilot I used to jump. Couldn't tell the difference from the original lineset (well, I should say that I couldn't tell a difference from the original lineset when it was newer - obviously I saw a positive difference from a ragged-out original lineset!)"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
