  1. My surgeon suggested that I was a good candidate for replacement knees,he also advised me to not jump anymore should I take this route. Is there anyone out there with first hand info? Thanks.......
  2. Think of it as a watch.........It's always on. turn it off for the off season, to save power
  3. I'm meaning,in a malfunctionQuote what's the lowest you would go, before going for your reserve!!!
  4. Mine's 1800 feet...I've used it 3 times. It's just an altitude I've chosen.........How many feet does it take for a reserve to deploy in a high/low speed malfunction anyway? Is there any one out there with hard facts?...Thanks.
  5. I had the same problem mate, this is what I did. Take a color co-ordinated (natch) push pin. Hold the steel part in your drill chuck, and file down the part that you 'push' on 'til you have a base, and a 'long' part. Then grip the long part in your chuck, apply epoxy to the steel and the underside of the 'base'... Now the good bit,.. drive the pin into the visor about a half inch below the latch hole, until flush. After the glue sets Dremmel off the excess pin.....Voila!! Mine's been good for about 11 years now.........I know, I've got too much time on my hands. haha
  6. Why is it you are wanting to pack this way, are you trying to correct for a deployment/ opening problem? Yes, I had a spinner recently for no good reason, had a reserve ride. I guess I'm trying to reinvent the wheel......
  7. Pssst......I think I can hear the sound of people rotating their 'D' bags... (stows to the BOC).....
  8. You're frightening me now.....
  9. It's a Micron 308 with a Katana120 a medium fit, so the 'D' bag can kinda morph into the shape that it's presented with. I like the idea of no extra rotations on it's way out...
  10. Just curious...My container manufacturer specifies that the 'D' bag line stows should be at the bottom of the container (facing your heels). Can anyone tell me why I can't stow the 'D' bag with the stows facing my back?,would this method give a cleaner deployment? what am I missing? What do you think?
  11. I jumped in north Carolina a few years back, Raeford, 2 in the plane,yours truly and Cheryl Stearns. She was practicing for her record attempt (success) for the most jumps in 24 hours. Her rigger had devised a pulley sytem to enable her to get down quick........ She might be able to advize,Google her,She's quite the gal...
