  1. I have the Anova and have been loving it. I 'll echo what others have said in that the bluetooth feature is useless.
    If we prepare NY strips or ribeye, I finish 'em outside on the gas side burner in a cast iron pan. Then de-glaze said pan with a bit of red wine, mushroom stock or whatever nad then add the juices left in the bottom of the sous-vide cook bag and use as a glaze for veg or spuds. Bon Appetit!

    I thought you said body position lines twists not canopy performance.



    Pete: I was in pis-poor position as a result of the mal and chopped while spinning around while on my back. The reserve had several line twists.

    ETA: Still the best opening I've ever had:)

  9. @ tampapete- nope it was my rig after a tandem vid

    @ski- Nope, I was jumping my pilot yesterday. The other one and I have an agreement in place; I keep her in her bottle except in emergencies and she's nice to me.

  14. It wasn't originally my intention to market them, so what you see is a prototype and they're still kinda pricey. I'm thinking about floating a few of them out there for my cost + shipping just to get feedback so I can do any fine tuning.





    PM me for more details.



    That said, I'm reasonably certain someone will want to manufacture and market... and closely watch their competition. >:(
    Yeah, I'm still available to PM...

    Works pretty well, got it built to my specs (4" plate with notch and 2 stand offs)

    Only down side is it's aluminum and has a tendency to grind little pieces of aluminum off (you can see them on the gaffer tape to the left of the notch).

    Not sure if it's just something that will stop after a few uses or not. Only closed 2 containers with it.


    If there is enough interest, I can get the maker (who's a dz.commer as well) involved and see what he says about making more. He also has the full 12" knee plate with the same stand offs.



    OK... I'm guilty.

    I built them to 'ski's specs; I am neither a machinist nor a rigger, just a tradesman with some resources available. I'll post some more detailed pictures tomorrow from the DZ of the 12" one I built.

    Stainless was a thought and certainly can be done; obviously that would run the cost up significantly. I don't know how well a stainless knee plate and an aluminum crank tool/"positive leverage device" would play together. I welcome your thoughts and feedback.

    I have plenty of stock left from what I bought for the first batch I made

    PM me for more details.

    P.S. 'Ski... That the best you can do for a photo? Looks like one your tandem photos. ;) Thanks Bra

    I'm quite sure I'll get some that could give you a run for your money. :P



    And, since you already have your medical, why not go ahead and get that TI rating you've been yearning for??? It's not like you don't have any spare time on your hands...

  23. Shit... I had completely forgot about that one;););)

    ETA: I think the kid's dad had some concerns about the kid's rig being not-so-freefly-friendly, too.
