Sebazz1 2 #1 March 26, 2002 One thing I really enjoy about my Stiletto besides the flying characteristics is how easy they are to pack compared to other canopies I have flown...............After grabbing the nose and giving a good shake the only lines you have to clear are the three D lines on each side..............SEBAZZ.......

Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ChromeBoy 0 #7 March 26, 2002 I'm with you Lisa. I always consider the jump ticket cost is $5 more than usual because I always have it packed. I did pack once to get my A License. Never did it again. I started packing the other day when they were busy and the rigger looked at me and said, "You are not jumping that. Go sit down." I said ok.

So if your rigger packs you a malfunction do you get your money back? "Fixing the world through self-destruction."

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skycat 0 #10 March 26, 2002 I was at a boogie, and some guys there had a beer on a rope, you know like soap on a rope. It was a coozie, with a strap went down the sides and across the bottom, so you could keep your beer cold and both your hands free for balance.
