Nope not all. Its a technique my dzo uses and it works well. You sold me a sapphire altimiter when I was on student status at lake tahoe. Thanks! I love that thing, even in cleveland :( -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

You're supposed to untie the knot before you fold up the pilot chute. It's an aid to help prevent a pilot chute in tow. >If you are that worried about the collapsible PC Yes I'm that worried about it. Everyone should be. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

After you cock it, make a loop in the middle of a bridle and tie a knot with the loop. That way you know that you've cocked it, it cant slip uncocked and even if you pack it with the knot it'll still open like its supposed to. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

That is sooo unfair to those of us who are disabled. I can't help it, I was just born that way. I guess I'll never ride in Mullins plane :( ....and I'm not getting throwed out of the plane anymore.

Bah, whats the fun in that? It all depends on how close you are to your repack. Remember to spot your stuff... -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

That sounds like the way to go. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

>That's an okay method for inspecting the top Bottom is pretty much the same, little more work, but pretty much the same. I stick myself into the cells and keep a hand out to hold it taught and work it over me. There's less material, so standing near a light seems to work well. If that's an just an okay method, what do you do? -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

Yup, that's why I'm axin. You were with me at DeWolf's, you doing the same procedure? -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

What is the best way to inspect a reserve? I was taught to sit on the floor and pull the canopy towards me, working left to right/right to left focusing on little sections at a time. I've heard of people hanging it up by the trailing edge. , and I assume they simply walk up and down the reserve with thier eyes. In Poytner's there's some mention of a light table. I couldn't find anything about that in the forum. Has anyone ever tried sticking some lights up the nose (shnoz) while it was suspeneded. It seems like defects would pop right out at you that way. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

Thanks Wendy! -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

I asked my rigger to add a tail pocket to my Lightning, but she wanted some specific details or at least something more than me just grunting and pointing at the canopy. I searched the forums, but I couldn't find anything. I asked Rusty at PD and he deferred me to the BASE manufacturors implementations (vs PDs). I found a document on the consolidated rigging site on how to attach their tail pocket, but there's nothing about construction. I found a post where Wendy mentioned something about cotton, but I figured that canopy fabric would be the most likely choice. Does anyone have some pictures/ideas/details? -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

How come I gotta be a slob? How bought that guy Ritch who is too busy jumping to clean? Or that really awesome guy Ritch who opened my eyes to the real world? Nooooo... I gotta be the slob.
