Ya either bought it used or ya haven't been paying attention. You order Racers for a reserve one size larger than what you use. Then when a GOOD rigger closes the reserve and seats the pop-top, it is in a depression. Get the picture.

Same here. If I had the extra money I would purchase one just for it's uniqueness/ versatility. For some reason, and I'm not trying to slam Sonic, I just don't think the concept is going to catch on and they won't be manufactured for too many years. We'll see.

Just as a point of reference, Atair USA and Atair are now 2 seperate companies. Stane has severed all of his ties to Atair USA. I suppose Atair USA still has the license to manufacture the Cobalt and Onyx, but don't know for sure. Stane has a new sport canopy called the Radical. see here. http://www.basetroll.com/ "No cookies for you"- GFD "I don't think I like the sound of that" ~ MB65 Don't be a "Racer Hater"

One would think with all of Superman's powers, it would stand to reason that he also had a super libido. Then wouldn't he have been much more concerned about getting his ashes hauled than saving the world ? Or would his super constitution keep everything balanced out ? Something to think about.

Are you trying to confuse me ? It's working. Are you saying I reach 60 MPH on a 3 second delay from a fixed object ? I somehow doubt that. I've got a challenge for you. Take any rig you want with a freepacked tailpockect eqquiped canopy ( a D-bag may stage the opening enough to make it bearable ) and tie the slider down to the front risers. Then jump it out of any fixed wing aircraft you like with a 3 second delay. Get video. I'll pay for the camera flyers' slot. But I'm not paying for any medical bills.

I bought an airworthy Javelin J7 with an adjustable MLW and a Raven 4 and Sharpchuter last year for $900. Easily big enough to take anything from a 260-322. "No cookies for you"- GFD "I don't think I like the sound of that" ~ MB65 Don't be a "Racer Hater"

I still don't think we're on the same page here. Let me give you an example; For reference, I'm 240ish out the door. Over the holidays I did a currency jump from a 182. Hanging from the strut, with a cut, I was horizontal. When I released. ( correct me if I'm wrong here ) I went backwards faster than I went downwards. Because of airspeed. When I leave a fixed object I go downwards vertically a lot faster than I go outwards horizontally, because the only horizontal speed I get is from pushing off/running off the object. IMO thereis going to be a major difference in opening shock on a slider down canopy. regardless of the delay, when taken from a fixed-wing aircraft vs. a fixed object.

Yes. I have many times. I was also leaving from more or less a dead stop. Not in a 40+ mph wind. 3-4 second slider down delays are rather brisk. "No cookies for you"- GFD "I don't think I like the sound of that" ~ MB65 Don't be a "Racer Hater"

Are you seriously recommending taking a 3 second out of an airplane where you already have airspeed, even with a cut, with a slider down/slider off pack job ?? All I can say is.......OUCH !! "No cookies for you"- GFD "I don't think I like the sound of that" ~ MB65 Don't be a "Racer Hater"

1st off, what's a Baser ?? See below. http://www.thebaser.com/ Many seem to think because it carries a TSO the DZO, S&TA, or pilot has to let you jump it. It is my understanding that is not so.

I haven't seen the videos in question. But inflatable jumps happen at big boogies on a regular basis. Then stuff happens with the rafts and animals afterhours that you don't even want to know about. Actually the flying rafts had nothing to do with airplanes. They had a boating raft that is shaped like an airfoil and when the boat is at full speed it gets to like 20 feet. They just showed one wipeout and it looked like it hurt! What you really need to see is the video of the "Foam Pit" jumps in Pastrana's backyard from years ago.
