  1. I wouldn't even think about it I hope this helps "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  2. So are you paying royalties to bill booth for borrowing his idea? His idea for what? MARD? "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  3. How is that ACE any different from the Boost from Wings? Only replying to you, because you posted the manual ;) "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  4. I'm not in their kitchen so I don't know. Perhaps you know more. But the fact that Vortex 2 is the cheapest TSO'd rig out there and they are the only one (to my knowledge) to use this hardware, makes me think the cheapest price was the leading reason. Once again...It's just a guess! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  5. As a TSO holder they are responsible for everything that goes in their products. The early Vortex 2 were made with Wichard hardware. Some years ago PS started using DSF hardware. I don't know why they changed the supplier, but I'll put my money on "cheaper price". And this is how it goes!

  6. So Vigil is on the market since 2003 and already has 7 SB's regarding the cutter. In average a new SB every 1.7 years! It's a bit high for my taste! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  7. Too many people abused that stellar customer service. No more freebies from those guys. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  8. Just imagine how much easier the life would be if the feds step out of regulating the parachuting in the US "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  9. I guess it was a typo. Now it's fixed "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  10. It's a trademark kinda thing. You fly your reserve and everybody at the DZ know that it's another NANO save! For the same reason Optimums are always orange, and the Smart has a big label on the front side of the bottom center cell. Purely a marketing thing.

  11. If the harness was made for a much smaller person, you should know that the yoke size can't be resized . Or it can, but it will cost you as much as a new rig. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  12. If my memory is correct, unless it's Talka 3, ground it! "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

  14. You have to meet Colin from Empuriabrava. He does that kind of stuff. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  15. A wise guy once told me that begging for forgiveness works better than asking for permission! That worked fine for me for the last 15 or so years. Something to think about for the next time! At the last PIA symposium a friend told me that BPA actually stands for " Ban Parachuting Altogether" "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  16. Not serious enough for a lawsuit .... "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  17. It's on the long side. By 20-30 mm or so. That's just me! Cheers "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  18. The other day Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice. On the seventh day, chuck said it was ok for God to rest. Chuck Norris is the only person ever to land on runway 37. "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  19. This is it ! Cheers "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen

  21. Never heard of 7.62X54 being called NATO To answer your question, that would be an RPG-7 and anything smaller in caliber the army could offer
  22. I think that skydiving gear in France is government regulated. I could be wrong "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
  23. Which European countries you are referring to? "My belief is that once the doctor whacks you on the butt, all guarantees are off" Jerry Baumchen
