  1. So you get in a personal stab to someone who cant even defend himself here anymore? NICE! Stay classy there MOD If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  2. What do you mean by lean? All I see is the aft wheels lower on approach which is normal. The triple land with the aft truck lower. There is an actuator that pushes it into that position. The 57 & 87bogey also lands aft first. The 67 is the only one that lands that has to be different and the front bogey touches down first. Why? I have no idea.

  4. You can see them unlatched. So then they paint them Bright orange so they are more visible and this still happens. Don't know what else they can do short of putting some complex and expensive prox switches on the damn thing. This is nothing a good pre-flight cant prevent. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  5. So what are you trying to get at? The cowls were left unlatched again. Not the first and won't be the last. It had also happened to JetBlue a few years ago here at Newark. Both cowls came off, hit the horizontal stab and littered the runway. Took them almost a month to fix it. I blame the techs for not latching the damn things and the sorry ass pilot for a piss poor walk around. If I remember I can take some pic's of what the cowls look like unlocked. The latches hang down and are CLEARLY visible. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  6. Lookin good buddy. Hope to see you at some of the FLCPA meets and Nationals this year. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  7. I just got the same message today. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Feel free to add as dates are confirmed. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  9. All depends on the setup. Do you double front dive for a bit before the turn? How fast do you turn? All of these are factors. I'm at a 2.5 on a 96 and start my 270 at 750. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  10. You never been to any competitions lately I take it. Rears are used I would have to say every time. Either to help level out or to keep speed and power. Look at some of the videos that are out there and take a good look. You might be surprised. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  11. Thats some funny stuff! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  12. THat wasn't Dennis Farina. Still a great movie quote. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  13. I had the same thing. I went with a 30 in zero P pilot chute with a stowless bag. Problem solved. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  14. That is about where flight idle is at. I'm not exactly sure about those engines but on the GE's flight idle is in the 40% N1 range. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  15. I flew in the jumpseat into SFO last week and landed on that runway. The NOTAM was printed on the ATIS report that the glideslope was out of service but it didn't matter since it was clear. Shouldn't have mattered today either. Cool approach to fly in to. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  16. I never thought of that! That would be a cool plane I bet. Yeah I fly the 007! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  17. What are you talking about? The Triple has been flying since mid 90's and this will be only the second hull loss, or crash. British Airways pancaked one in London about 5 years ago due to iceing in the fuel. That plane has an unbelievable safety record. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

    Moving to NJ

    I live about 10 minutes from Hamilton. I am in Plainsboro. What would you like to know. From Hamilton you will be about 50 miles from Cross Keys. It's an easy drive down I-295. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  19. Again a HUGE thanks for this. It was and will be a great tool and help. I can only imagine how long it took you guys to figure all this our the first time. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  20. I have been taking the classes on FCPX to learn the system. So much to learn. One point I can make is to use the Optical Flow option when doing slo mo's to take the jerkyness out of the video. It really helps and makes it smooth. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  21. I ordered my new Javelin Odyssey back in november and it was delivered in less than 5 weeks. Too bad PD wasn't as fast. I just received my Optimum and main last week. I love the Javelin and will probably always buy nothing but. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  22. Already in the Bonfire. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4429833;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  23. *** Well there is that thing a lot of Republicans like to brag about called "Free Trade" NAFTA, CAFTA and what not. They keep claiming it will help us sell more. I don't think I have seen one positive thing from it since it passed back in the 90's If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  24. I don't know about scared shitless, but when I went from my saber 150 to a Samurai 120 I was pretty nervous about it on the first jump. Everything about it had me on edge. The opening wad twitchy, I could actually turn with just the harness input. Once I came in for landing and the power from the flare it had I knew I was in good hands. It was a great canopy. But it make me a little nervous the first time I jumped it. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  25. Already have those dates in my book. I will be flying down for all the FLCPA meets and Nationals. I am also looking at going to CRCPL for at a couple. This is my first year doing this competing stuff so please be gentle. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
