  1. The typical answer is no. Some will, some won't. If you just got your B, you are probably gonna get a no no, but try your luck and keep it safe.

  3. Was wondering if there has ever been a design where the brake line connected cells were split from the rest of the cells, on the trailing edge..... Something like an aileron on a plane wing, where the rest of the trailing edge would remain straight, and only the "control surface" would change during input. Or is there a reason for it not being split? You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

  4. You sure look suspect....Having a single post on here, and then naming it trafficking. Good luck. It sure is a LOT cheaper here by me if someone brings it in. Close on 50% on top for taxes/shipping. You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

  6. I did not see the vid. DO you dive or do you face the prop? The pac has a fairly large door.....Facing the prop, you are basically in an arch as you exit.... Anyways, I find it very important to be able to exit stable and deploy fairly quickly. I have had to bail out at 1800 due to engine failure. Trust me, you don't want to wonder what to do when the pilot screams "GO GO GO". You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

  8. I have seen this, but cannot remember the container make. The person had one riser normal out, en the other was stuck... However, when he did the cutaway, lucky it came completely loose, and fell free. It took us a while to figure out what had happened, but when simulated, damn you need a lot of force to get the tab out. Good job lady!

  10. Airbag for hard landings? Anti Swoop F*(^&kup device. Idiotometer, or also knows as wuff-o-meter Wing adjuster. So you can have serious fast flight on top, and then a conservative wing to land with. Wingsuit that can adjust in such a way you can land it. And yes, the ultimate would be a packing machine.

  11. Experiment to try. Next time you jump, take a Plastic bottle with, fill it 1/4 with coloured water. Fall as stable as possible, holding the bottle upright. Will the fluid be in the middle of the bottle(Floating in Zero G), the bottom, or the top? If it went to the top, you are still accelerating, faster than the water. In Zero G, it is like the plane dropping with you inside, but equally to your acceleration. BUT, the true word here is terminal. This is the speed you fall at with DRAG. Now, the water would keep on accelerating, because the water has no drag, and hence, it will go to the bottom. Now just to confuse some..... Why does a balloon move forward when accelerating in a vehicle, backwards when braking? Just vica versa You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

  15. The answer is always yes if they ask. But they are not forced to. I haven't seen anyplace where it has been "enforced", but more just a common way of getting the community together to talk over a cold one.

  21. Same issue my side. I do with a loose long sleeve shirt, does help. Then I also pull the belly in, or in other words, push the bum out. Gives very good slow rate, but like the upside down dart, flying isn't so cool. Don't pick the slower students, or lose some weight. lol.

  24. Have you got free time, like weekends? Spend as much time possible at the DZ. You will soon find out how to make money, either by recruiting new jumpers, packing, or whatever. You will also learn a load from just being there, and please, don't sit with your hands folded, talk to people. I started jumping purely on packing, when I was still in school. HOW, I was at the DZ every weekend, untill someone said, you wanna learn how to pack, I'll teach ya. You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

  25. A couple of my own goodies: Jumping out first at 13k, and opening immedietely. Seeing the rest of the load fall is hectic, but a good reminder of how fast you really fall. On one such jump, I had an eagle come fly right next to me, inspired me to start hang gliding. Radical turns on smaller eliptical canopies, what a rush. High speed front riser turns. (No swooping for me though) Cross country with them big student canopies when the wind is pumping, and trying to land that beast. Flying next to your friends.. OH, and the new custom colours you got, makes you smile after every opening. BEACH LANDINGS, bare feet, with a super view!!!
