inaccurate article: fxc is an aad the cyprus is a cybernetic parachute release system. The fxc type system uses air pressure to extract the reserve pin and was among the first such safety systems. the Cyprus uses a system similar to but with significant differences to the fxc. the fxc is an automatic activation system in that a membrane expands and contracts at a fixed rate as air pressure changes. should air pressure exceed its parameters of contraction speed it activates a spring that contracts to pull a cable attached to a pin. this competes its activity there are no electro or chemical components and it does all of this automatically, you can not change its settings. the cyprus on the other hand comes with a computer constantly monitoring the air pressure and free-fall speed to "compute" the altitude. Ergo the computer mechanical and chemical composition of the system or cybernetic mix. you can change its settings change the opening altitude and interact with it in various ways it is therefore NOT automatic. just my two cents worth.

I think i have it figured out now ill start on the left and drive from LA to az visiting eloy perris and elsinor. then head up a little to the grand canyon and hoover damn, next head right to lodi and up for the boogy in lost prairy then turn right and yellowstone before going down to the couch freaks and chicago then slip down a little towards the ranch and skdive atlanta, turn right here for six flags and spaceland then turn left head over to deland sebastian z hills spaceland mk2 and disneyland/ waterworld. know who wants to come and pack for us................. thats what i have on a map but any suggestions welcome do you think its doable in a three months and does anybody have advice renting an rv from motorus rv rentals? safety enjoyment learning, sel the sport. dont kill it.

that's a good question. the rv should have a generator, i know i cant hook a bike or car on it so the rv will be our taxi as well, from suggestions we are thinking of starting at lax arizona and so on up to San Francisco lodi and holister possibly then up to the lost prairy boogie, down to the couch boyz and the on to chicago finishing Orlando that's just from pms and so on any other suggestions while i am drunk on whisky gratefully accepted keep em coming thanks safety enjoyment learning, sel the sport. dont kill it.
