JumpCrazy

I jumped an otter this weekend. We did a 3-way horny gorrilla that turned into a cluster-f*ck (thanks Kansas). Then my alitmeter stoped working so I looked down and was in doubt so I whipped it out. Then when I noticed I wasn't getting any penetration but still managed to make it back. Flying Hellfish #470

OMFG what an idiot. HAHAHA Flying Hellfish #470

Hey, I knew someone would say that. But ya know what? It looks sunny and nice but since I am in CANADA, its still not too warm out. Our skydiving season is just getting underway. Flying Hellfish #470

Wen't to the mud run today. I think it was a great way to spend Good Friday! This place near Tillsonburg Ontario opens twice a year to trucks. There were over 300 trucks entered in the one day event and there were thousands of spectators to watch it all. Mud is fun! Check out the pictures: 1st pic: Some of our trucks before the mud 2nd pic: More of our trucks before 3rd pic: One of our trucs after 4th pic: Dang this is some deep mud 5th pic: Sweet drag machine Flying Hellfish #470

-Large door wherever it is -High horizontal stabilizer to allow safe exits even with a premature deployment -Fast climb -Fast descent (think straight down like a porter or mullins plane) -Low jumprun speed with low risk of a stall -Good fuel economy -Low maintenance/cheaper maintenance -Comfy interior (like a skyvan but not as loud or with as much vibration) Thats all I can think of for now.

I'm sorry Cheryl if I or anyone else have upset you. I really did not mean to make a big deal out of anything. But the fact remains that Cathy made this post on a public forum. If she didn't want replies then it shouldn't have been posted here at all. Right? Its good to hear that you think everythign will be ok

This makes me worried. I know who you are talking about. I have been in the otter you speak of. I love Ron's summer DZ (never been to SoBe). But I have no idea what you are talking about. I would hate to see anything bad happen to Ron! edited- to make more sense. Flying Hellfish #470

There are 2 E licenses at our DZ. E-8 and E-11. Only 13 people ever got this license. Oh, and I know this is picky but the licenses in Canada are actually called Certificates of Proficiency, or CoPs. Flying Hellfish #470

thanks for that information airtwardo! It sounds like we have a lot of work ahead of us if we want to make our club great!

Wow! I don't know who to respond to because you all have excellent ideas.

I see what you are saying about the chute carrying its own weight, however, the weight that matters in wingloading of a chute - that is the weight that affects the performance - is the suspended weight right? The suspended weight (you and rig minus main) is what affects turn rate and dive of the canopy. Sooo even though we are only talking about 6 or so pounds, I think that the effective wingloading should not technically include the main. Does this make sense? Flying Hellfish #470

Apparently thats why our club went bye bye a bunch of years ago. Someone brought it back only a few years ago. I am already worried about this happening again and the last or our execs won't graduate for about 3 more years. Flying Hellfish #470

Hey Hollywood

Ok, here's the deal: I go to the University of Western Ontario Located in London, Onario. I am one of the Skydiving Club execs there as well

I see at least 12 of those cars that made it into production. Some others are set to debut in one or two more years. Also, some of those cars were designed for the euro market and I don't know what they have over there....some of them may be in production too. Flying Hellfish #470

Yes, SOBE is now owed or managed or whatever by the same guy who manages Skydive Techumseh (Ron Palowski or something like that). He is an awesome person and is very accomodating to all newcomers to his DZ

Does this "aerator" have blond hair and drive a Land Rover? LMAO!! I know who you're talking about ... I did a couple jumps with him during my visit to Z-hills this year. Back on the subject of the thread though. I am in CANADA and fortunate enough to not have this show on my TV. Flying Hellfish #470

Just to clear this up, I believe skydivingdutch called a Stiletto intermediary, not intermediate. As in a stepping stone to a Katana. As in lower performance than a Katana but more than a Sabre. Anyways, I have no advice to offer as I don't have enough jumps to offer it. I just wanted to make sure someone wasn't getting burned for something they didn't do

Nice jump! Glen visited the Bend last year one weekend and from what I can tell, he is an awesome guy, and a badass freeflyer. I think I am going to try to get on my head this summer too, and seeing that video gave me some encouragement

ya, thats exactly what it looks like here. We have about 2.5' so far and its still snowing. Flying Hellfish #470

Jumped a raft, an alligator, and a whale out of a skyvan before. The alligator fell nicely (see avatar for pic) The whale tended to fall upside down and at about 140mph...I guess its that reverse arch. All of these jumps were an absolute riot!! edit--I can't spell Flying Hellfish #470

LOL I voted 40. Flying Hellfish #470

They work fine for me. I have the new wmp though too. Oupatients 3 is sweet! Flying Hellfish #470

About 80 of my 125 jumps are from a good old 182! The rest are from Otters, a few from a skyvan and one from Mike Mullins King Air

Problem is I don't have a scale so I don't know how much my rig weighs exactly. I'll just find a scale and weigh it. Thanks for your help, I was just wondering if anyone knew. Flying Hellfish #470
