Weston On The Green. What do I sponsor with? B.

Just wondered!

Emma, Are you vegetarian by any chance? B.

Is this at WOTG?? Might just have to take a visit down there. Emma in a Wonderbra?? Sounds *interesting*.....

Why does nobody get it??? It's obvious! They're selling "girls in tubs full of sausages" to the general public! WOO HOO! Sis - you got a tub? B.

Joolee, Don't RELY on your audible. Use your eyes and get to know how your pull heights/breakoff heights look. It's a good clue when everyone disappears, tracking off into the distance that you've missed break off.... Just my 0.5 pence! B.

See you later then, suitably erogenised!! B.

Good luck with the revising Poolee! B.

We can do some sit/stand jumps then! Kewl!

Sorry Wingi! Tee hee! Should be a good weekend - I'm sure if I dive and you lot float then I can say I pushed you all out the plane! Do you freefly as well? I know Skreamer does... B.

Hey Martyn! You gonna be there for next weekend? A few of us are coming up to Texel for the weekend for fun and jumps! Ben (The english bloke on your tracking dives)

Hi, I've been test jumping an Electra 150 all week at the Langar boogie and have just put an order in for one. I currently jump a Sabre 170 and my exit weight is 210lbs which loads the 150 at 1.4 lbs/ft^2. Without rolling the nose but giving about 5-6 rolls to the tail, it opens quickly but relatively gently. It needs a little steering during opening (just by leaning in the harness) while it gently searches for a heading. It's never opened more than about 10-20 degrees away though. Turns quickly but loses height quite quickly. Riser pressure is light, as is toggle pressure. Comes in to land quite quickly but it has a great amount of flare. Great canopy really. I can even pack it too! Seems small for the quoted footage though. Hope this helps. B.

It'll keep them from polluting this forum for the course of a weekend - now that should please EVERYONE!! Just kidding guys... What's up Joolee? B.

Yeah, I'm gonna take Skreamer, WingFairy and Huffermoose away from all of you for a weekend and throw them out of a plane! Should give everyone a break for a while! B.

Hey Joolee! That's the weekend that Skreamer, FairyNut, Huffermoose and myself are going to Texel for the European round of the "lets organise our own boogie" competition! Come along if you dare. Mu ha ha ha.... B.

Emma, What's an Arsing office? B.

There is also the Electra by Parachutes De France. ZP top skin, F111 bottom skin. Jump one at the weekend a whole load of times - great canopy! Nice openings and pretty zippy to boot! B.

Hey All! I'm looking at getting my first new rig in the next couple of months. My current rig which I got second hand is looking a little shabby and I'd like something newer. I've got 112 jumps in total and I've done about 90 jumps on this rig. It's a Vector copy with a Sabre 170 main. My exit weight is about 210lbs which loads the sabre at 1.23 or so. I'm comfortable under canopy and can stand up all my landings . I don't particularly want much more in the way of outright performance. What canopies out there would suit a confident, but low number jumper that can be loaded at roughly the same kind of wing loading? Having checked the specs for the sabre - I'm apparently above the recommended exit weight yet I've had people tell me that I could quite happily go to a 150. Will the glide ratio be reduced? What effect will this have on landings etc. I'm really quite bemused at the amount of choice and the recommended exit weights manufacturers seem to use! Thanks B

Man!! Someone else scared of the neighbours cat too??? We need to set a group therapy session up! B.

Ahh, Rain and wind sounded like a couple of the days we had at the Easter boogie! Let's hope Langar is clear and sunny! B.

Easter Boogie at Empuria by any chance??? B.

Who cares!! People can wear whatever t-shirts *they* like. It shouldn't rile you if you've got nothing to prove yourself.... B.

Sounds good to me! When you gonna get there? B.

Bwa haa haaaaaa you're in trouble now!! My guardian angel is riled!!! ha ha.... Gotta love ya... See you at the weekend Mr "Anonymous"!! I might even buy you a beer.... Jack the Lad.

Ha. Just got your IP address mate! I'm gonna have me some fun now! B.
