Thank you Diablopilot for pointing to this inspirational masterpiece of observation.

Is this a competition? If so, what's the prize for the winner? Otherwise, I still jump rented Navigator 280 or Eagle 300

They are pretty persistent little jumpers and they grow up without ever meeting their daddy. I love this wikipedia description of duck breeding: "The ducks are generally monogamous, although these bonds generally last a single year only... Most duck species breed once a year"

If you have a faint heart - wacth it up

A homeless guy was pickin through a trash bin in the park when 3 young bullies started molesting him for fun. Suddenly, a guy jumped out of the bush, all dressed in black, with black eye mask and black hat and black cape and big "Z" on his chest and a floret (fencing foil) in his hand. Started beating bullies and carving "Z" on their asses while they were running away. He turns and says: "My good man, you are free of those!" Homeless guy: "Well thank you..... Zuperman"

Claustrophobia, when in need of drink, It's a fear that drinks places are closed. What goes around, comes later.

If I am to make a maple seed out of aluminium or other material and/or size to match density to water in proportion, as it does have proportion in air... and it emulates behavior in water exactly like real one in the air... You are positive that it will hit bottom of, say 2 feet deep pool at the same time as in another pool, same depth, with artificial steady water current (of any speed)? Give me a "yes" and I quit and thank you for your patience. What goes around, comes later.

Me neither but I am very interested in reading fresh thinking, which you are regularly shutting down with "I am a physics professor... and You can do a search" attitude. I have no reputation to lose so I can afford dumb questions. I'd expect better of authority like yourself, encouragement even. I understand that if I drop a steel ball into lake, it will hit bottom in exactly the same time as if dropped in fast river's same depth bottom. That's what I get from this lenghty thread so far. It doesn't explain though, how some German pine seeds flies 700 kilometres in high wind (when in no wind - it just drops down). What goes around, comes later.

Now, what's wrong with checking it up all over again? What are you afraid, that you've spent all your life in wrong conclusions? I don't think so. Muffle up and enjoy the ride. What goes around, comes later.

The problem there is, to many people you have to explain what are they watching, you know: "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." - Mark Twain What goes around, comes later.

Gentlemen, I assure you, maple seed doesn't know about physics or aerodynamics. Yet it does fly longer (time) in wind. What goes around, comes later.

oops, I just saw it that you too say that steady wind won't affect flight time, sry What goes around, comes later.

Hmm.. yes but you have an opinion on original question?

That would be nice of him. Aside from "Created unique real time aerodynamic parachute simulations", he's listed skidiving as one of hobbies but I can't find out if he is member on dz.com

"Fine, I' will pay $1,100 fine... but not before I pay my lawyer's fee $11,000."

According to Canopy Glide Simulator with canopy 220ft WL 0.8, flying up-wind, with no brake input: - stronger the wind - slower vertical speed. Vertical speed varies roughly 10% between 'no wind' and '13 mph wind'.

Nothing really, was just at daily dose of 5 videos on wimp.com "Suitable for all ages." It reminded me of pushing the air out of canopy

How to flatten your canopy too

ahh those magnificent sounds What goes around, comes later.

I am a physics professor, and this topic was discussed AT LENGTH many years ago in the canopy control forum on DZ.COM, to include the effects of gusts and wind shears. You could do a search. Dude, this is the wrongest place to pull out your diploma. What goes around, comes later.

I get it you didn't get it. Check out this guy, I can't imagine his insurance policy would really help there What goes around, comes later.

By "decent" I mean not having a crooked leg left and not screaming all the time @ NWFlier Well, that was the essence of my question

Preferable getting fixed in decent manner What goes around, comes later.

what kind of country lets you without insurance ? I don't know. I just wonder if it's safer to femur in Canada, England or Bermuda without insurance What goes around, comes later.

No insurance. What goes around, comes later.
