Take a picture! if enough riggers say they will repair it i think you have the answer. a rig maker always wants you to buy something new

now that the katanas are available in bigger sizes EVERBODY will want one! this is a very good time to raise prices on katana, yes? lower prices on sabre? doesnt matter, EVERYBODY wants a katana now. Smart people at PD

I spoke to a dealer this weekend, via new pricing structure he gets everything except for velo's and ka's cheaper.

ha,ha,ha, if this is true then we know why PD increased prices, because they CAN! Im glad I dont need new gear

I have a question fopr somebody-if PD doesnt want trunk dealers they why do they let them be dealers?

I always thought women hated that word. I can't believe that one actually typed it!!

Sunny typed the word "cock' too in another message! At foirst it was a "thingy"! They can say anything hear.

thanks snow white for the update on the vendors. it sure is cool talking to them all when they are there but o'well if they are not thats ok. more beer for us!

I spend enough time inspecting all components of the system to assure myself that the complete system is airworthy. That can be 3 or 4 hours on some rigs but never less then 2 hours.

I hope you mean a rig you have never seen before? Would you do this for your customer if you packed it the last time and know that they always take care of there gear and had no bad landings and no reserve rides?

so did this stuff actually happen? your message is not too clear but maybe that is for a reason

by the way I dont think it matters weather it is a USPA drop zone, there can be good or bad drop zones of any type.

I dont think drinking before jumpoing is good, a tandem student almost puked on me in the airplane, I bet the TM liked that!

so what is going on? cant the experienced jumpers land close enough to their landing area? It is much easier that way.

Sunshine, in your first post it was his "thingy", now it is "cock"

I think you should not ask such questions because it is definitly effecting your innosense!

I was wondering how the KC skydiving center was doing? They have been open for a month now. Are they busy enough to have an Otter all the time now? How are all the KC area skydivers out there liking it? What are the other kc dzs doing? Gosh its kind of quiet about them.

This article was published in the May 1955 issue of Housekeeping Monthly. It's kind of long...I'll try and condense it. It's definately worth reading.

You mean this one?
the file is attached

so i heard that dz that was supposed to open in the kc area may not open because the city decided to not rent them space because of the insurance deal, true?

bummer, it sounded like it could have been nice

If there is an airport access problem I think the new DZO has the USPA blessing as Mr Bangs himself has help promote this dz with his blessing.

Cool! Is Glen going to manage this new DZ too?

The reality is that myself and many other jumpers don't like the other KC DZ's silly rules & politics and we won't give them our money. I'll go to this new DZ, and see what their vibe is and if I don't like their vibe or their rules, I won't go back. Chances are others won't either. If the new place is better than the other KC DZ's - then guess what? Competition rules and come what may to the other DZ's. How hard does it have to be to understand this? We vote with our wallets.

I have been reading this stuff about the KC area for a week now and I still haven't figured out what is so bad about the existing KC DZs? What kind of silly rules are you talking about? It seems like most DZO people make rules for safety reasons And what kind of politics are we talking here? Stuff like the usual bad mouthing other jumpers or what? I guess Im glad I don't live in Kansas
