atsaubrey 0 #1 November 9, 2003 Finally got past the TSO issue i had with jumping a military rig. Looks like Elsinore is going to let me jump my rig...as soon as i get my hands on a cypress and get my canopies relined. Damn i'm stoked. If anyone has a two pin Cypress i am interested."GOT LEAD?"

Michele 1 #5 November 9, 2003 Quotelanding is by far my weakest point. So, when are you going to take the canopy control class, my friend? And when you get your "A", I can't wait to see if I can keep up with you - or if I need to learn to sit! LOL, well done, Aubrey. Well fucking done!

I was referring to Airtwardo's rig which he says has 270 canopies. It is the MT1-s which has 270 canopies and can be 5 or 7 cell. http://www.paraflite.com/html/tech2.html This site will explain it.

SkymonkeyONE 3 #20 November 10, 2003 It is military equipment built under government specs and therefore there was no "issue", only an uninformed person making a command decision at the other DZ. Their business loss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #22 November 10, 2003 QuoteI bet I could fall with you. Do you mean me? I have been clocked as slow as 114 (huge ball hugging/de-arching in a 4-way with some great folks), and as fast as 146 (IIRC) on my belly when working for the arch (and before this particular jumpsuit). Being short, chubby and flexible has both advantages and disadvantages... But if you join me in the sky while I'm trying to sit, prepare to laugh your ass off...I can be compared to a beached fish - and any occasion of actual sitflying is purely accidental. But sure, when you come out, and when I'm ungrounded, let's go play and see!
