  1. let me know how that works out for you. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  2. para-flite eos as well, but i thought it was towards the floor rather than outboard on both rigs. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  3. i did a search but didn't find much. who competes with para-gear for materials and tools? thanks for the help. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  4. it looks more like it was hand deployed to me, but i can't tell definitively. the use of a round parachute with a seperable deployment device seems to be an excellent design for this situation. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  5. 1. if you beat a packer with a crowbar and nobody is around, does he make a noise? 2. what's the difference between a good take-off, and a bad take-off? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  6. i would say that switching a reserve container from chest type to back type would be an alteration. being part of the design of the rig would merely make it approved by the manufacturer. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    i'm not, but i used to jump at an awesome DZ named Ghouldge pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

  9. here's what works for me: from the boarding area until we have left the landing area NOTHING is more important in my life than my students safety. second most important is that i do my best to make this day as special as it can be for my student. if you ever notice yourself thinking about anything except those two things you have not done your best for your student. rule 1 is mandatory, but i have had days where i forgot rule 2. i can tell you for a fact, the job doesn't feel like a job when you are helping the student get the most out of the experience. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  10. PD coats the spectra lines on their reserves? it sure doesn't feel like it to me. what are noticing that makes you say the lines are coated? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  11. good point Mike. i stand corrected. let's get this thread back on track, what would you recommend to help this poor guy out? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  12. "Germans LOVE David Hasselhoff," -Norm MacDonald- pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  13. you have a good point. another reason to go with an airtec product would be you own a rigging innovations container. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  14. i can understand, and respect your opinion on the matter. i do not think riggerrob was joking, so i will have to respectfully disagree with you. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  15. it doesn't seem that unusual to me. why would a manufacturer give you proprietary information to resolve an asthetics issue? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
