If the unit has been through the 4/8 year service, the sleeve should no longer be there. The sleeve was a field installed fix to improve static/EM resistance, and every unit got the more permanent fix when serviced.

Then please do tell me who started it, since you claim it is so easy. I think your statement about the liberal media is laughable and utterly false. The Arabs started it. Myths and Facts The Arabs promised to destroy Israel if it was created, and they did indeed try, and fail, again and again. Some will cry that it is unfair that the palestinians have such poor weapons. By that logic, the US should not have invaded Afghanistan because of their military superiority. This link provides a great example of how the media has been biased against Israel...on the day the intafada started, immediately after Arafat rejected the peace offer that his own negotiators recommended to him: http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/reports/The_Photo_that_Started_it_All.asp The honest reporting web site is full of such examples.

When it comes to the mainstream liberal media, the palestinians are most often portrayed as the victims. Their leadership has openly bragged about how their friends in the media help them. Israel is much more often identified as the oppressor. The history of the region is well documented, not so hard to find out what really started it, for those that care to take a little time to research.

So why don't you declare war on the League of Nations/United Nations, as they were the ones that invited Jewish refugees to settle there, and later created Israel. A lot of boundaries were redrawn after WWI and WWII. Obviously the Arab world was not satisfied with the result, and tried to change it many times by war. They failed every time. They pretended to seek a change by diplomacy, but Arafat was never interested in peace, as shown by his refusal to accept what was worked out by his own negotiators in 2000. When the Palestinian Authority has leadership equal in courage to what Anwar Sadat exhibited, then peace will be possible. For now, the PA and Israel are at war, and there should be no expectation for 'restraint' or 'proportional response'.

As you said, the main toggles are already released, so I would think it better to fly the main with very small toggle input, but only letting the toggles go back up to about the stowed position. If that wasn't very stable, you might find that a bit more or less brakes on the main might improve things.

I wouldn't like it at all. No entity outside of the USA can do that because they have no authority to do so. If, however, the USA had lost a war (as Germany and the Ottoman empire had), then we certainly would be subject to the revision of boundaries. Lots of boundaries were revised after the war. Losing a war certainly does provide for the possibility of consequences. From an article by Max Singer: ...in the 400 years before it became available in 1922, Palestine had been a small part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. But in World War I the British and French defeated Germany and the Ottoman Empire and stripped them of their colonies. Thus the League of Nations had to decide what nations should become sovereign in Palestine and the rest of the vast lands lost by the Turks. The League awarded more than 90% of these lands to Arab states, with Britain and France as temporary trustees... Whether or not the League of Nations was wrong to decide that Palestine should become a Jewish homeland, the effect of that decision is that the hundreds of thousands of Jews who came to Palestine from the creation of the Mandate in 1922 until the birth of the State of Israel in 1948 came pursuant to the international law that existed at the time. They came not as colonials, and not to take land away from another people, but to fulfill the decision of the League of Nations that Jews should be encouraged to settle in Palestine. And they bought the land on which they settled. The Arabs who fought against the Jewish settlers and refugees may have thought of themselves as protecting their own country from invaders, but according to international law it wasn’t their country (and it never had been in the past) and they were fighting against the existing law. In fact there has never been any “Palestinian land” anywhere because there has never been a Palestinian country...

I think Amazon's opinion on this matter reflects the fact that support for Israel as an ally is not a partisan issue. Most of the democrats and republicans in our government don't have a problem identifying the good and bad guys in this conflict. Islamofacism has clearly declared and is fighting a war with the rest of the non-muslim world. Some don't want to acknowledge that. I say that Israel and the rest of the free world should fight it like a real war, with the overwhelming use of violent force until the enemies leadership changes their ways. Anwar Sadat had the courage to truly seek peace. I hope others will follow his example. This is still a world largely governed by the use of violent force to achieve political objectives. We may wish it wasn't true, but I think it is. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

My globe from the early 1900's doesn't resemble the current national boundaries. The existing boundaries have mostly been decided as a result of war. I don't think the history of thousands of years ago is too impotant for the current discussion. The USA conquered much of its territory in relatively recent times, and is not about to give it back to native tribes or the Spanish/Mexicans, etc. But the end of WWI/Ottoman empire was important. A group was established by the league of nations to decide the partition. After WWII, again there was a lot of partitioning to do, some done by negotiation between just a few of the victorious leaders, and Israel was established by the UN. The end of wars usually results in a redrawing of boundaries. When not satisfied with the creation of Israel, the Arabs started other wars to change that. They lost every time, but want to get their way regardless. I say tough shit.

It seems like much of your fear is related to the trouble you have had with stability in freefall. I think your fear is justified if you don't trust your ability to be stable. Being confident in your abilities is very important to your actual performance when it counts.

Your analogy is not at all valid. The actual history of the region is much different than you portray.

You should definitely wash your rig often. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Why would it get oil on it? Maybe from our hands? I've jumped a lot of old gear that did not seem to ever have been washed without such a problem.

The design of the hardware is what should be modified, but unfortunately we can't do that on our own. Washing the rig to prevent slippage is not reasonable, in my opinion. We shouldn't have to put up with slippage at all, but an extra layer of webbing seems more reasonable - unless there is some safety concern that is not obvious.

Because they are the good guys, and their enemies are the bad guys. Neither side is pure, but it is certain that Israel is not a threat to the rest of the world, but the evil of the islamofacists is, and they are now affecting all of the world. Time to pick sides. I'll stand on the side that does not think Hitler was a good guy. Many don't know enough about history to understand that it really is that simple: http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/IsraelPalestineTruth.htm People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

They don't want peace. It is as simple as that. Is there someone that could lead the Palestinian Authority as Sadat had the courage to do for Egypt? I think not. Until that leader emerges, there is no reason to not take them at their word and accept that they do not want peace. I don't consider the recent actions by Israel to be overwhelming force. Given that they are at war with each other, I think Israel should fight it like a real war, not a limited engagement. I think as long as the Palestinian Authority thinks that Israel will not respond with overwhelming force, they will not seek peace. From Article 13 of the Hamas charter: "[Peace] initatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement..." It is too bad that the Israelis are so ineffective at countering the lies from the Arab world, it is the Palestinians that brag about their friends in the media helping them. So many people think that both sides are equally at fault, which I think is completely wrong. The Arab world is still overtly racist, was on the wrong side of WWII, and thought they were better off to ignore the partition negotiations. That decision was bad for them, but I say tough shit, especially after Arafat turned down what his own negotiators worked out at the end of the Clinton admin. We should also remember that Arafat was a KGB operative: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=673688#673688 People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

My thought is that if worried about the consequence of the reserve firing later during your canopy ride, then fly it around at slow speed (deep brakes), letting it fly at 100 feet before landing normally. If the reserve fires while flying slowly, whatever falls out (probably dangling below, not behind) will not matter, or you have a chance to contain. If it does fire at 100 feet, it won't deploy enough to matter. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
