The Ranch safety day(s) are on the schedule for NEXT weekend.

If a rig is parted out for sale, does the data card stay with the container or does it go with the reserve? Also, can I replace the velcro on my Vector II or does that have to be done by a rigger?

Hey Jerm, It is. But it started out as KFC. Every time I see a student wearing the suit with the melted knee, I just start laughing to myself. Scary, but funny.

Unbelievable but true. I know a few people who want to know no more about their gear, than too tighten up the straps and get on the plane. And some aren't even too good at that.

Suz, i'm right there with you. Kentucky (short for kentucky fried chicken) 1st solo. Power lines.

Try Americar.com for info. Website will probably say nothing available, so try calling them to be sure. Or go to the MCO website for bus info (Lynx).

Yes, it is wrong. But you're there (HI), and i'm here (NY), and my tongue just isn't that long. Sorry, i couldn't resist.

How about less than 100% pleased instead of unhappy. I'd like to believe that as long as it's their fault, that they'd want to make it right.

I'd give them a call. It would be easier for them to replace the flap than to have an unhappy customer.

Seems like attempted manslaughter/murder charges should be in order here.

I saw that too, but the more i look, it appears to be a camera flyer way low. I could be wrong.

what are we looking for?

Sunshine/fergs, those are better ideas yet. Thanks.

It's clear. Javelin offers it on their student containers.

I'm not worried about my rigger. It's more of it being lost and if someone who is not a jumper brings it to the dz, it can be identified. I'm sure there are many items unclaimed at most dz's that people just assume are gone forever and they never check to see if there stuff has been found. Freebag/PC @ $140.00 is something i'd like to have back.

Thanks Mark, it's good to know that they are not interchangeable between mfrs. Might be a good idea to have my rigger write my name on the bridle on the next repack.

Is there any way to tell what container and reserve sizes, pilot chute/freebags are designed for? Maybe a label or ink stamping?

Have you checked out the Lupus Foundation of America? Maybe they can provide some local resources for you.

if Radioshack doesn't stock the correct battery # cr2330. you can use cr2325. these were in stock. i have them and i've had no problems so far. $3.00 ea.

cuz it's the only thing left in the fridge!

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear.

I have a turbo zx225 with the same problem. No finish on the flare. It's a hybrid also. I wonder if this is common on other hybrids as well.

Watching a packer, I noticed that they did not make the first 'S' fold as normal, only the second, before putting the canopy in the bag. at which point they then made the first 'S' fold and stuffed it in the bag. Tried this myself on a new ZP canopy and it's much easier to deal with getting it in the bag. I've used this packer before and never had any problems. Does anyone know of problems with this type of packing or is it as safe as any others?

Shumacher. When he first went to Ferrari, he got then to pay him a cool 25 mil a year. That's talent.
