  1. someone asked how long the cable was page 6 of the linked manual says 2.8 meters "fixed". that is a little scary, it would be 'nice' if there was a disconnect between the unit and the camera head, just in case. We also need to find out if you turn on the hold switch can a hypeyeDpro (it looks like it is the d plug) operate the camera, so that the controls on the control unit wont be changing zoom etc when they get bumped during use.
  2. Mike: Blah..Blah..Rodeo..blah..later tonight...blah blah Girl: Yeach! Weren't you just hitting on my great grandmother?
  3. the Stealth already has two of them on the front of the leg wing. Us bigger flyers need nourishment during the longer flights possible with the stealth
  4. How about doing something about the ad.double clik delays or complete lockouts that seem to be plaguing the site lately?
  5. I would be very interested. Having previously attended one of your all day VASST classes, I know that you would be giving everyone their moneys worth.
  6. you wave at every other guy driving past your corner!
  7. Try Nuun, it worked well for me biking in 100 degree heat. only problem is the taste is not that great. Sodium (carbonates) 360.0 Potassium (bicarbonate) 100.0 Calcium (carbonate) 12.5 Magnesium (sulfate) 25.0 Vitamin C 7.5 Vitamin B2 500mcg other ingredients: citric acid, sorbitol, sodium carbonate, natural colours flavours, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, polyethylene glycol, magnesium sulfate, sodium benzoate, calcium carbonate, acesulfame potassium, riboflavin-5-phosphate. Cytomax is also good, but it has less electrolytes and has carbs.
  8. I bet I would win the wing loading war, but I only tried the XS for two jumps.
  9. you mean things like pack when you get to the ground, not when every one is waiting for you at the mockup? I was surprised he actually made it into the air at all with all the hot chicks there this last weekend.
  10. Come back when you have a permit from the NPS to jump something in CA

    What boogie?

    you should take care of that problem! there will be a suit or two available for you to try out there.
  12. Congratulations Debbie, welcome to the flock! Spot, wasn't she smoking hot before the flights?
  13. I don't know what the rules are. I do know from personal experience what one police department did in a similar situation. I was videoing a jump at a popular US base site, when there was a death, at impact I shut off the camera and set it down on the boat and got ready to go into the water to provide assistance, after getting the victim onto the boat I was left in the water to expedite getting him to help. when I got back down to the boat dock and retrieved my camera the police asked if I had video'd the incident, I answered honestly and they asked if they could have the tape. I told them they could have the tape if I could make a copy prior to giving it to them, since there was a lot of other stuff on the tape I wanted to keep. After some discussion about how to make sure they got the original and nothing was changed (took it out and set the record lock, I think it was also initialed) they agreed to my making a copy before giving it to them. they hung out nearby while the copy was firewired. they did not even mention restrictions on my use of the copy. your experience may differ.
  14. • How much do the larger wings compromise access to the BOC pilot chute? With proper technique, almost no effect. • How do you access the BOC pilot chute with the larger wings? the same way I do with any wingsuit, back and down to my ass then up to the boc. • How much do the larger wings affect flat spins? ignoring the fact that most of what people call 'flat spins' are more of a tumble than a flat spin,do you really need to ask this? you stick a larger surface out there it can spin faster • How much do the larger wings affect fatigue? depends on the suit, specifically the arm wing design, better pressurization seems to lessen the arm strength required, also the angle of the leading edge causes changes.
  15. I should be seeing you there. is the well trained monkey going to make it too?
  16. Thanks, I am planning to be there, might have to bring a different suit with me, three days of solos does not cut it.
  17. Are there any wingsuiters over there that will be around that weekend?
  18. I'm pretty sure he can get a hummer in the Netherlands!
  19. Is this to make sure it gets out the door still turned on?
  20. Spot you can rant anytime, your post is thoughtful, addresses the issues and leaves emotions out of it. too bad none of the people who need to listen will realize it is directed at them.
  21. I just wanted to see who was going to step up to be the alphabetizing police.
