  3. You lie! Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  4. You asked a question and demand a straight answer.You were asked several questions and answered with sarcasm. If you want honest advice try being honest. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  5. Does anyone know what goes on in the Women only forum? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  6. Norman, Those veteran jumpers can also learn from the newbie. All the experts in the sport are dead. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  7. Andrew, Yes Tom was a moron for going in on a two way with his cypres turned off. You only have to be a moron for less then 60 sec. one time in this sport. If you have the jumps you claim why have you not learned about crossports? What else have you not taken the time to learn? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  8. John, I've had one since they came out and I got it in 10 jumps on a 200 sq. ft. CruisAir. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  10. Sean, Go to http://www.uspa.org/licenses/index.htm and it will answer most of you questions. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  11. Jim, I will be in Tx. next week, spaceland. If that is any where near you I would like to pick your brain. I do 20-25 demos a year and am always looks to improve. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  12. Tony, Shot 120-11, with the clouds in the background is awesome. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  13. Scratch, You are to old to have an opinion. LOL You probably don't remember me, but I did "Sky dance" with you in the 70's. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  14. Viking, There are two ways to jump a chest mount. If you do not cutaway you do not use a pilot chute. If you do cutaway then you use a pilot chute. With old 2 shot capewells a cutaway was out of the question. If you had a malfunction with the main out you would pull the reserve and then "hand deploy" it. Throw it into the spin. If you had nothing out you would look, pull punch. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  15. Tony, Thanks, looks great! Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  16. BadDog, We did not do any formal testing on the cypres, but on several occasions I have left the A/C under the same conditions and not have my cypres fire. Before everyone tells me that is not smart, [i.e.] to jump from 1000 ft. but I get paid very well, thank you. Sparky P.S. Spell check on this sure keeps me from looking completely stupid.

  17. Andy, I work with a company that does parachute testing. A couple of years ago we piggy back some field test of the Astra on another program. I found the the Astra is easy to confuse, and when it gets confused it fires. Some test programs are conducted in the "window" of AAD's, 1000 feet AGL and 180 Kts. When the test item goes for the still air of the A/C to the 180 kts. wind and 1000 or less, the Astra fired on several occasions. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  18. Hook, Is that 150 mph or 150 kts. I am not sure but I do not think any ramair reserve has be TSO'ed in standard category. (150 kts.) Low speed is 130 kts. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  19. Pete, Thanks, that is hot. Kudo's to all. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  20. Chris, I bought my first rig before I was off static line. Of course it was a 7-TU and they would not let me jump it right away, it was to high performance. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  21. Marcus, I am a retired fire capt. with 15 years as a medic. Don't you think a DZ first aid kit should be phone for 911 and someone assigned to not move the pt. until help get there? Of course that would depend on how far help is. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  22. Racism should be frowned upon by everyone, everywhere! No class. Driving to the Ortega Hw. to get to Elsinore for L.A. takes you about 60 miles out of your way. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  23. I heard that Fla. did a 2 point 120. Can anyone confirm. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  24. Scott, It wasn't broke when someone fixed it with soft housings. Booth designed a cutaway "system" with several component parts. That system has worked great for many years. Why in the world would anyone want to take one component from that system and change it. Soft housing do not improve or fix anything and have be proven to be a problem. Why do you think they are not around anymore. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  25. Hook, Your harness/container was TSO'ed to 300, but what was your reserve canopy tested/TSO'ed to. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
