How to.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMZ7mcC85Jg "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

I searched for Tyvek and found a few responses... this is one http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4725386#4725386 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

So I am curious... was that the song? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

I'm trying to remember wooden toggles. I think mine were cloth but I might be misremembering. Or could those have been R2s? Is this the Rodriguez of Spanish Fly fame? No wooden parts on the R2s, they were all velcro and nylon. That was one on the differences between the R2s and the R3s that had a small piece of clear nylon tube to give you something to pull on. The R2s just had nylon to pull on. I recall the tabs were made from sewn tubular nylon so you had something to grab but the R3s with the tubes were an improvement. The only wooden toggles I ever had were on round canopy steering lines

I remember when I upgraded to R3s from shot and a halfs. Boy did I feel safe. And R3 looked snazzy compared to R2s ;-) "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

From Skydive Magazine... an article on riser length http://www.skydivemag.com/article/tip-tuesday-riser-length?articleId=c2t5ZGl2ZW1hZyMyI1JHdFBRQmpUU1Z1UnZ6WWFwSG5YN3c&fwd=1 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Post a picture of the altimeter while you are wearing it. If we can see the problem, we might be better able to make suggestions "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

The instructions are a little different than what you describe "NOTE: After removal wait 120 sec. before installing new batteries." "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

You are absolutely right Check the date on Bill Booth's comment... he posted that in 2004 ;-) "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Continuing to spread the myth that people need to spin their rings is a little silly. When I saw that at the beginning of the video the presenter lost credibility with me. It was talked about on the forums a few times but the definitive answer comes from Bill Booth, the guy who invented the 3 ring system http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=995974#995974 Bills says "Spinning the rings was never necessary. All you do when you spin the rings, is put salt from your hands on the hardware. By the way, each opening rotates the rings a little anyway. If you will look at cadmium plated middle rings with over 100 jumps on them, you will see a slight "compression" of the plating evenly all around the "back" side of the ring. Flexing the webbing was a good idea when we used 1 3/4" Type 12 webbing to attach the smallest ring on "large" 3-ring systems. (We've used 1" square weave for over 20 years now.) On mini-rings, flexing the webbing was never really necessary. We left it in the generic 3-ring instructions only because not all risers are made with the correct webbings, and it doesn't hurt anyway. " "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

My suggestion is to do to the jumps as quickly as you can. Of course, that depends on weather, money and other factors including how busy they are when you are there and how much patience you bring. Can you do it in one weekend? Yes, all things being perfect. Is it likely that it takes more than one weekend? Perfect doesn't always happen.
