The only rig that I know of that you could see the loops going through the cutters would be the Racer with the loops coming from the pilotchute and pinned through the backpad. So when you open the pin flap you can see your pins and look through the gromet and see if the cutter is routed properly. The others as far as I know even if not mounted on the backpad are pretty much impossible to see once the container has been closed.

People who take interest in airplanes give me your opinion!
TMPattersonJr replied to Mostly_Harmless's topic in The Bonfire
Considering there's no drivetrain connecting the wheels to the engine, and the prop wash or jet blast is all that keeps your ass in the air. Yes it will take off and normally, the only difference being the bearings are going to try to explode from spinning so fast to counter the oppisite moving treadmill. For what most of you were saying is that the tires control how fast you move... the only thrust generated by an airplane is from the prop, or fan, which are driven by the engine or turbine.

Why Does the Army Use Roundies
TMPattersonJr replied to two40's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Because it's much more simple to teach one to jump with a round canopy. In fact almost no training is needed for jumping a parachute with forced opening (I made my first jump after a 30 minutes briefing and a bit of practice). And surely I can't imagine paratrooper battalion on AFF training! And they are cheaper too, I guess. Though special forces or reconnaissance units use rectangular (or maybe even elliptic ) canopies. Yea if the Army can stretch a S/L first jump course into three weeks of hell I'd hate to see what they'd do with AFF. (BTW the Freefall school is 4 weeks) Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws -

I think a Tiger needs to be brought into the picture and it needs to be biting Albert's head off, if I remember correctly from earlier in the year. No worries, all's fair in love and football....I'm just thinking how silly that shirt's gonna look after January 8th Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws -

Oh lordy..... Hey at least it wasn't a Volunteer Albert's riding.... I do believe he proved he deserves that ride earlier in the year!!!

It looks like the excess line that was finger trapped after your brake toggles were put on. If it is there's no reason that you can't finish re-finger trapping it or if there's a ton of excess you should be able to cut it off. But have your rigger take a look at it and make the final decision before you go wacking something off. The picture is a bit fuzzy to me and it just looks part of the finger trapping that has come undone. Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

Nothing unless Tony's going to rename the Mach 1 the H3 I love the way the Mach 1 looks and can't wait until I can fly one. But until then I'll stick with the Eagle or Spitfire or whatever it is that Tony sent me. Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws

Flew a Z-Wing Eagle this weekend....
TMPattersonJr replied to TMPattersonJr's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Requested an Eagle and thought it was, but you're around Tony's shop a hell of a lot more than I am, so you'd know better than I. It's all yellow and has the black and white fabric that Tony has on his rig on the back of the wings and the hand prints on the ass, and is marked Demo 4...

Wingsuit Boogies lets get them listed....
TMPattersonJr replied to NCTlover's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Not "wingsuit" events, but the Collegiate Boogie (Thread Here) will probably have a few flocks, and will have more with the more wings that show up. Also the Boogie 'til ya Puke will probably be in April again this year. And finally the Hog Flop will either be the last weekend of October or the first weekend of November. All events at Skydive Palatka and all usually have several good flocks. -

Flew a Z-Wing Eagle this weekend....
TMPattersonJr replied to TMPattersonJr's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Was wearing a Neptune, I was chasing a guy in a PF tracking suit and he wasn't pulling away too bad but he was definately not getting the glide I was. averaged low 90's on my first jump & Mid to low 80's on my second chasing the tracking suit. I let another guy at the DZ jump it and by his 3rd or 4th he was averaging high 60's. And this was one of the original prototypes. The note that Tony had sent with it said that the webbies are a bit shorter now, and he cut an inch out of the trailing edge of the wing at the hip on the production wing. He didn't give reason as to why but I noticed when I tried to punch it out I'd get a bad flutter on the trailing edge of the wing so I figure the shortining of it was to cure that. All in all I love the suit -

On my myspace homepage (link in sig line) I have footage shot with my HC3 and uploaded in DV and rendered in MP4 format and looks ok (it's on myspace for crying out loud), the original footage, shown on a HD TV is absolutely stunning. I haven't tried to upload in HD yet, but am working towards that very soon.... Edited to add: The same file in Full Screen (DV) AVI format is 525MB, if you have a night to kill downloading it PM me and I will upload it do my company's web site for you to download.
