I think you would be able to get a demo Pulse 190 into you new container, but just guessing since I don't know what your new container is. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

Yep did miss that one word. So, whats the definition of a successful freefly jump? Is docking required? Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

Doesn't say anything about successful... Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

Just curious. 120 jumps over 9 years and you want to jump a PD126R for your reserve? What size main? Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

Yea, what were they thinking? Cessna static line is the tried and true method. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

I jumped one probably 10 years ago. The only issue I remember was the lip of the door frame. Figure it out on the ground. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

No, Bob it doesn't make sense to anyone that your telling a newbie that is having a problem learning to pack, your convoluted way of packing, and that you think that is helping them.

Great advice to give a newbie Bob, working on your fatality count? Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

From the Parachutist story referenced above Getting here is a journey that started with everyone wrapping each bight of lines with the common 3/8-inch-wide by 2-inch-diameter by 1/16-inch-thick (10mm x 50mm x 1.6mm) natural rubber bands available from most equipment dealers. These medium bands seemed to work fine, but back then, lines were fatter, more elastic and more numerous. I just call them large and small myself. As lines became smaller and made of new materials that don’t stretch to absorb much opening shock, people began double wrapping their stow bands to prevent the bights from coming out too early in the deployment sequence. Many experts warned against the double wrap, saying it caused knots, line twists and possibly bag locks. Smaller “micro-line bands” the same width and thickness but only 1½ inch or 1¼ inch (38 or 32mm) in diameter came into existence. Also came the pricier, longer-lasting Tube Stoes (designed like a snake eating its tail) in several sizes, which some jumpers still prefer.

Because he was packing the line stows with of the use of medium bands. If you read that whole article from parachutist, packers didn't like dealing with micro bands and double stowing can cause line twist when they get the bag spinning. I've had some very hard openings using double stows and and some pretty serious line twist. PD said I wasn't packing my Sabre1 170 correctly. Turns out I wasn't alone. Single wrapped medium band locking stows and and micro bands for the line stows has been working really well for me.

My manual.

Ok, what companies manuals? Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

You can on some sites, and that is the point. Website design matters. There should be pictures/tables of all variations of options.

It seems you can't even figure out what size canopy's fit in containers from information from web sites, and fashion seems to be more important to you than function. Best of luck with your web browsing. Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

I guess if you have a monitor that exactly matches the color swatches available from a dealer or manufacturer you'll get exactly what you think you will get. At best you'll get a general idea what it will look like... and if you that concerned about what color it will be you should probably get you hands on the samples.

I can make a web site for selling rigs and never made or sold a rig before.Cyber bullshit. How about going to a gear store and talking to someone about the product that your about to bet your life on and spend a couple of grand on. Would you buy a car based on advertising and a web site. No you would go look at it and test drive it. How about going to a boogie and talking to the manufacturers and looking at the options and quality of their product, even demo it. And if you can't do either of those things, talk to the people where you jump and look at their gear and talk to them about their opinion of their gear. Then go online and fine tune what you think you want. Buying a rig based on the quality of a web site makes absolutely no sense. I can just picture you guys walking around the DZ head down staring at your phone.

Spent 15 days straight at Lost Prairie in Montana after 12 days at EAA Air Venture in Wisconsin last summer. Its really nice to be able to put your pants on standing up....

I don't know if you have ever spent a night in a tent with 50 mph gust in a thunderstorm but having a good tent is definitely a requirement.Bigger is always better if your not backpacking. A full coverage rain fly will keep you dry and in good weather you can pull it back and sleep under the stars. Depends on how many nights you plan on but if you divide the price by the number of nights you can justify quality. I have had good success with Marmot tents. Here is a good example... https://www.cabelas.com/product/null/2482084.uts?slotId=0 Nothing worse than sleeping in a wet sleeping bag... A bigger tent allows of a twin size air mattress also.

"typically track for about 5 seconds" Each "about" second your off by is 166 feet. Do you track for 5 seconds and then wave off? "I also know both the Visio and AAD considers "deployed" as the canopy is starting to snivel enough to slow you down" How do you know that? What exact speed does the Visio determine your deployed? What canopy do you jump? How many feet of altitude do you think you should lose between deployment and fully open?

I'm glad he left out beer...

Yea, and why do we have to wait to get on loads? You put money on account and the have to wait. These DZO's are raking it in. You would think they would get more aircraft so when I happen to show up on a nice day I wouldn't have to wait.

I realize this is an old thread but I have this to offer. The Pulse came with two different line trims. The first version was trimmed very flat and would go a very long way at the price of a less than stellar flare. You would have to be very aggressive with the flare but once you figure it out it really is not an issue. I would loose a lot of altitude in a toggle turn. The second version wouldn't fly as far but has a more conventional flare. The line trim is noted on the data panel and I think its PO1 and PO2.
