  8. You seriously denigrate the work of thousands of the brightest engineers and scientists in the world at that time. The people who just "sit around thinking what if" are the people who figure out how to make the whole damn thing work and not just explode on the launch pad. Seriously, you don’t think they really went to the moon. Do you? If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.

  25. Dieter, In normal flight you will not be able to stall the Skymaster 290 canopies as they are specifically de-tuned (Brake lines lengthened) to add a safety margin for the student. Wrapping the brake lines to circumvent this is not a good idea at 3 jumps. Self-induced stalls with your hands entangled with the stalling canopy can be ugly. You’ve got more than enough to keep you busy… (Like clearing your airspace and flying the pattern.) Don’t be in a rush…. JC If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.
