    G3-suit. VKB

    A new polar graph, an updated tunnel/jump document and two new pictures are up I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  2. Trevor, have any examples to put online? I'm curious to see just how bad the image is. I really don't know what I'm talking about.

    Skyhook

    Allow me to rephrase... by "use" I suppose I didn't mean "start shipping rigs with". There's a pretty significant thread on the subject that includes a few guesses about how difficult shoehorning the Skyhook into certain rigs will be. I really don't know what I'm talking about.

    Skyhook

    Remember, Bill announced that sport manufacturers will be allowed to use the Skyhook starting in either Jan. or Feb. of 2007. I forget the exact date. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  5. Just to quote some numbers, PF recommends "at least 50 jumps" before trying the tracking suit. I don't believe BM has any official numbers for the Impact, but those who fly it put it nearly in line with a small wing suit. That's not advice, just numbers. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  6. Dude, you're gettin' a HUGE FONT. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  7. Gorgeous shots, what are the camera/lens details for the K____g shots? I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  8. Here's the link from the same page where you downloaded the movie. Basically, nobody thinks it's a good idea. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  9. Don't worry, I know the GigaPxl project is old. I think this other camera is the new thing. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  10. I really don't know what I'm talking about.

    VKB G3 Suit

    Just wanted to let everybody over here know that there are new updates online. There is a PDF about the suit and an Excel file with GPS and wind tunnel plots. I really don't know what I'm talking about.

    There are new updates online Øyvind sent me a document discussing the suit's design, wind tunnel tests and jumping. He also sent an Excel document with GPS plots and wind tunnel data. If you don't see the links right away, reload. Enjoy. [P.S. - at Øyvind's request, I cleaned up spelling and some (not all)grammar in the document] I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  13. www.gigapxl.org for those who haven't seen it. Note the gallery. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  14. Thanks for that, Douggs. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  15. Don't worry, found the original audio here. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  16. Review's up. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  17. bugmenot login/pass: [email protected]/dddddd I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  18. Got any freefall footage shot with said camera? We're talking about the HDV/24P cameras I read about this morning, yeah? The page renders in the same way for me... can't find the link or review. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  19. Of course, I wasn't saying that twists don't happen under 1.0. My point was that two instances of severe linetwists on a very docile canopy at a docile wingloading in such a short period of time struck me as something potentially worth looking into further. That said, I'm not going to go any further on the subject - I've derailed the thread and I've offered advice that frankly exceeds my experience and knowledge level and probably shouldn't be taken seriously. Don't take me as an authority of any kind. Cheers to all I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  20. You may want to have a rigger observe you pack a few times. A Pilot loaded
  21. Johnny - why the lack of an RSL? I'm curious to hear what made you make that decision. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  22. Sometimes you don't have a door to close, such as a Twin Beech, DC-3, Skylane with no door, C-206, the list goes on and on. Need to be double extra careful then. Good to know, thanks for the information. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  23. It happened to me during AFF - my PC wrapped around the outmost left steering line. The canopy was controllable, so I landed it. My instructor chalked it up to the chaos theory. I really don't know what I'm talking about.

    Just curious

    Trees. Ooo, and everything listed here under sites. I really don't know what I'm talking about.
  25. Just to repeat the question, what on earth was the door doing open at 300'? I really don't know what I'm talking about.
