propilot

Cool, well Ill be busting my balls for the first month down there, but once I finish my training i'll be looking for a place to jump for a weeekend. How is the weather around the end of January historically?

I jump in Ohio but will be down in Texas for a month and a half. I read the reviews of Skydive Houston and it looks like a good operation....but what about the weather this time of year? Is it warm up at 12K? How busy are they in the winter months down in Houston? Thanks

Looks like the videos of when they test pilotless controlled planes (UAVs)... the other videos I have of those tests are much wrose. Personally I hope they never get it right :}

I saw these suits at WFFC this year, but when i got home, I forgot how to spell the name. Tried to search for it on google and just couldnt find it. anyone got a website?

Im comming! hopefully i can drag some people with me.

I a pitts and one of those BP VIP debit cards that give you a year of free gas. mmmmmmmmm

Wow! That's one long, unusual snivel... Subterminal deployments usually take longer.....

Intuitivly, I would think your best chance at finding ratings on certain components would be to contact A-The manufacterer of the rig B-The supplier Also, its important to realize that different manufctrs. might get their components from different suppliers, so you would need to research a specific rig/component.

Yes, and it shipped on friday You will be the first on to have it. PM me when you get it. yippeee

Yes...any news anyone?

I just want to say that I bought the entire AFF license package as soon as i walked in. I had never made a skydive before. I dropped close to 2k before my first jump. turns out they didnt have enough AFF instructors to support me. So one of the aff instructors offered to do the first two levels tandem. I accepted. First two levels went awesome. perfect even. 3rd level? lol. it was one sided AFF... unstable. potatohchippy, no pull. couldnt find handle. instructor had to pull for me. I reccomend against the tandem progression. There is a HUGE difference in controlling your body when you have a big guy above you and a drouge providing some stability. as soon as i was on my own it was completly different. Now i like the theoretical idea of first two levels tandem, then tunnel time. then level 3. heh, but what you going to do? build on tunnel on every dz?

Quote Cool. Understood and agreed. Quote Cool

well yes, lol, that goes without saying, you all must be on the same page.

THIS IS SKIPRO101... i accidentally used my email sign on instead of skipro101... but this is me

Is life worth the risk of living even though you could get killed? It is? Then f-ing live it and go jump!

no eggs for me today...but I did get to 24 jumps and all my stuff signed off... so all i have left is the grad jump. oh yea..and my last landing i still fell to my knees but the flare was perfect timing...just dropped a toggle when i felt myself go to the right. man i cant wait to jump my own rig...I just need some stand up landgins!

So what came of this? Has PD revealed their methods yet? Im interested...because i was advised to buy a reserve that is quite small (its a PD) on the basis that its actually bigger when compared to a similar advertised size of another company....

Yea, but it might come in handy. te heheheh i am evil.

Cough
