  1. Privatization never comes up because that's exactly what the best solution is and coincidentally, that's what the best solution is in ANY industry the Government is involved in. Socialization at first works well but inevitably costs more and decreases quality. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

  2. I didn't make it. I bought it from a friend who spent alot of time practicing and refining the process. It was a good deal because I wasn't happy with the commercial offerings in terms of size and price. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

  3. Hawkeye with custom box on a quick quad mount and hypeye, century lense. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

  6. Yea, but it's a Moderator drifting it so it's okay in this case, right (need a refill of kool-aid?) ? "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  7. Charley, I would say to take the GPS numbers with a grain of salt (same as WS forum). If you look at the vertical speeds he was supposedly sustaining and the 4.0:1 glide it's easy to see something is preventing it from being reliably accurate.

  8. Ah, so quick, I'm impressed, good picture crop. So what you're saying then is that the spacing for a 4-way is identical to a 71-way and the grid is not scaled at all with formation size. Spacing and grid size stay universally the same. Right...... "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  9. It would now be interesting to see a 4-way diamond with the overlay. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

    Tandem Flybys:

    It's only cool when done by a FFC student who's instructor doesn't have a USPA WSI rating. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  12. Yes! As for the rest of the proposals and arguements in this thread I think the horse is thoroughly dead now (and not getting any more dead). The train and the surrounding railroad track has been blown up several times so no need to worry about any of that nonsense anymore, and those that set the train in motion have enough tar/egg to follow them around and be remembered by.

  13. Damn, got him on that one. That kind of skill in playing both sides is usually well demonstrated in government politics. However it would also apply to the politics of selling the BOD and WS community on Flock U saving us from a 'bad instructor' epidemic.

  14. Wow, you took some no-shit serious beatings out there. Good thing you're tough. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  15. Yes, the accuracy guy at my DZ has a canopy with square vents. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  16. Are you in favor of or against USPA instituting a WSI and WSI I/E program similar or exactly as the one outlined in the "Parachutist Editorial" thread? "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  17. Good posts Glen, I couldn't agree more and you explained it better than I would have; thanks for the posts. A vote on this would be great. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  18. If by 'last' you mean before CF/hop n pops, then yes, those threads say that. Exiting badly in WS can also cause you to unexpectedly join the CF formation that exited before you. Very true, this is another topic that has been discussed for years with still no broad consensus. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  19. Well that topic already has a couple thousand posts, here's a few: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1596061;search_string=exit%20order%20wingsuit;#1596061 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=279080;search_string=exit%20order%20wingsuit;#279080 "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  20. If it is available with the software over there, it may be quite beneficial for the Europeans to use the spell check feature when authoring documents in English. Also the last point about WS always being last out is incorrect. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  21. I think the concern is with the bridle not the PC, so switching PCs would solve nothing. But that's moot since agreement on this won't be reached anytime/anyyear soon. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  22. These types of accidents do happen and have happened on BOC pouches without the pouch itself catching the flak for the cause. IMO, the cause in both BOC and leg pouch incidents is user error. It is true that skydiving students aren't formally trained on the use of the leg pouch so this may require us to acknowledge leg pouch use requires tapping rare, sophisticated powers of common sense and continual inspection/maintenance of the gear. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  23. No need to cut apart the bridle, we now have the technology: Ask if your rigger has a device called a "stitch picker". Use the device on one of the sides of the flap. Locate and install flap per PF directions, then sew back the side of the flap. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  24. For transporting the suit I ensure the arm sleeves and leg ribs are straight. Also it may help to have the velcro cover closed to prevent sticking to nearby fabrics. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
  25. Yes. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
