I see, I'd think about removing the ring from the bridle personally. It seems a little redundant to me and I'd rather alter the bridle than the attachment point on the topskin of the canopy. My $0.02. ________________________________________________________________________________ when in doubt... hook it!

Why not just remove the link from the bridle and larks-head it to the ring on the canopy? ________________________________________________________________________________ when in doubt... hook it!

I second the comments regarding the specialty aircraft. They should publish the dates they will be flying and whether they are truly confirmed or just a possibility. Having to stick around to find out if a plane may or may not be there is annoying esp when I could be up in Chicago partying or taking in the sites. This year, Carvair manifesting was kinda confusing at first, till they got it straight. Sikorsky was a no-show, PAC was a no-show, DC-3 showed up quite late (they should warn you to bring extra-powerful ear plugs for that!!!) as did a Bell helo that I didn't have time to jump unfortunately. Manifest did a great job, as did the load organizers, but if I wanted to spend a week jumping out of mostly Eloy's planes, I could have done it in Eloy without the boogie fee, humidity, and had a safer landing area. ________________________________________________________________________________ when in doubt... hook it!

Don't do that! The last thing you want is for them to be loose(er), esp if you have a snag-tastic d-ring reserve handle. Having witnessed a headdown reserve deployment and the ensuing carnage (twice actually), I want that thing to be as snug as possible. Intentionally wearing out the velcro seems a little lame to me. That aside, I vote for one hand on each handle, like the system was designed for and pillows on both sides since I freefly mostly (and I suck) ________________________________________________________________________________ when in doubt... hook it!

from MSN: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8917950/ The TSA memo proposes to minimize the number of passengers who must be patted down at checkpoints. It also recommends that certain categories of passengers be exempt from airport security screening, such as members of Congress, airline pilots, Cabinet members, state governors, federal judges, high-ranking military officers and people with top-secret security clearances. This would be sweet, I always thought it was lame to get the full cavity search since I have a top secret clearance. I mean I can do much more damage at work anyways. ________________________________________________________________________________ when in doubt... hook it!

Yes, and there are minor manufacturing differences between the two... if you do a seach beezy has listed the differences quite extensively. They are not identical canopies. Close, but not quite. Plus, Precision offers a 170 which HiPerUSA does not. ________________________________________________________________________________ when in doubt... hook it!

...and that's why Precision rocks! ________________________________________________________________________________ when in doubt... hook it!

The Gypsy Moths is much more entertaining... so is Dropzone, Fandango, and Terminal Velocity. ________________________________________________________________________________ when in doubt... hook it!
