AggieDave 6 #27 December 15, 2002 Feel free to do it, I wouldn't recommend it, though. But then again, I only have about 250 FF jumps, so what do I know.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #29 December 16, 2002 Something I was told by a much more experienced FFer when I raised the same questions was to think about burbles and clean air. You want your altimeter in clean air so it will read more correctly. If you are curious if a spot you're thinking of has clean air or not, you can put a pull up cord there and watch it on a jump. Is it taunt, being pulled by the wind? Then you're getting clean air at that point. Obviously you would make sure to keep something like a pull-up cord away from your handles, 3-rings, etc. I know that should go with out saying, but I wanted to remind people of that (you never know who's reading this).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

DaMan 0 #31 December 20, 2002 My III has been great-had a II stop at 6000 on one of my AFF jumps (I was aware enough to still pull close to 4500 as planned). Got the titanium option-looks and wears nice, but I'm not sure if it was worth the extra $$$. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
