  1. Hi , I want to ask any technical reason about why on the MIL DTL 6645 , specify this about glue guns ?? ....:

    3.4.1 Assembly aids.

    For Navy and Air Force procurements, hot glues are not authorized as an assembly aid.

    any info will be great, Thanks


  2. Thanks a lot, yes I already did the pul test on 3 cells top skin and pass great, also I check those SB about bartacks and is OK and the canopy is in very nice shape, probably never used.
    tanks for the info and the link of the manual, very nice.

  3. Hi, I need to put a vigil on a P de F Campus student rig, any info for this?? the rig has the two thinner cypres loops for the two RSL pins, any idea also where I can order this thin loops??
    Also this is what I found on the last repack, both pins into the 2 regular cypres loops.
    Thanks

  4. What about the 22 lbs on the reserve handle with cones?, or with a bulky packjob?, service bulletins on cones? More easy to bent pines?, prevent premature openings for loop failure in large troop military jumps?

  5. Hello this is a tech question, special for the ones who has experince manufacturing rounds.
    I have a consew 332 double needle needle feed, with NO puller on the back, Im planing to build a round 22 panels, 28 foot, block construction, the thing is : the puller will be mandatory to do a nice work, its for both bias and block type or I can handle it with skills

  6. Hello wich are the tech specif of the hardware RW8 or 10, in terms of metal name, treatment, hardness, not the Stainless Steel ones.
    Also the name of the main company producer or data
    Tanks a looootttt guys

  7. Recomended manufacturer service life.

    UPT Vector - doesnt have recomended SL
    Javelin - doesnt have
    Aerodyne - 13 years from DOm
    PD reserves - 40 packjobs, 10 openings
    Strong DHT 18 years from DOM or indefinied the new ones

    Other manufacturer examples ?...

    Any advice will be apreciate

    After that if the rig still in very good shape, do you riggers still packing those, in the packing card do you put any "on condition" or similar like porosity and TS108

  8. The Line over release toggle used in BASE jumping was a Mark Hewitt idea after hit a building with a line over, was research and develop by Marta Empinotti, Jimmy Pouchert and Todd Shoebottam.

    Probably one of the first models of MARDS or Skyhook was also invented by Mark Hewitt, used and tested on the Sorcerer BASE container, a system to deploy a reserve using the main like PC.

    May be Im wrong, let me know

  9. I just pack a PR 160, comes with number 4 links stainless steel, wichard, safe working load 621 lbs x 4 = 2484 lbs, this reserve can handle some forces more than 3000 during TSO tests???, so my question is how much is the maximum load that #4 links resist before fail, also PD uses in some models ( like the reserve manual said) #5 links, 990 lbs safe working load.

  10. Then you might need two altimeters, two AADs, two helmets, two audibles, two mains, etc.
    Also today most of the accidents are under beautyfull fully inflated canopys .....
    Keep it simple!, the parachute for idiots is not ready yet, I heard this one time from Bill Both mouth.
    Keep jumping and you will understand soon why a second reserve is not an option..
    ;)


  11. Tanks Terry for your info, do you have more specif about the Strong machine , I would like to know if that kind of aparatus with aaltimeter can meet the 125 Pascales or .5 inch of water differential, I think the regular altimeter are not the right tool to meet that.
    Im building one more similar to the Frazier one

  12. Hello I want some feedback on this, Im working on a very portable ( lets say a pelican case 1500) permeability machine to measure in betwen 0/30 CFM (cubic feet minute) on reserves, the final cost I think probably will be something similar to one AAD (uss1500), how many rigging lofts or riggers will be interested to get one?

    The comercial Brands are huge, heavy and expensive (9k uss)
