  1. YEP... i just got my rating four months ago and it was required for Strong. I actually got my cutaway one week prior to the course with my Velo with broken lines on a hard opening... Everything worked out!!! Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  2. this is true... we plan to standardize. we are all mainly getting the IAD rating also just to simply make a future chang over process easier Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  3. My DZ in Vivian louisiana is a 2 cessna operation and looking to get an IE willing to come out and rate some folks. We currently have 3 S/L Instructors and in need or more due to growing pains. Our 3 S/L Instructors are wanting to add IAD and we have 4 Coaches wanting to get S/L and IAD ratings. Does this sound appealing to and IE's out there? Post here or email me at [email protected] Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  4. thanks for all the replies,,, i was just wondering what others were doing and i liked the 110 alot but i wasnt sure how well it would do. I dont want to take away from the experience of the first time jumpers for sure. i will keep the DSLR for my still shots. In the future we may have to option of mounting everything on our little finger with the way things are going Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  5. More info: I use my camera gear for shooting tandem videos Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  6. Looking for a little help here. I've been flying camera for the last several hundred jumps and Im looking to update my gear. I bought a new Bonehead Flat Top narrow and a CX110. I was wondering if I could get another CX110 to replace my DSLR to save on weight. Does anyone do this? I want to run one CX110 in video mode and the other one in still mode using a Hype Eye on each camera. I saw there was there is an option for the Hype Eye for taking stills. Any info on this would be great. Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN

  8. I have a chance to get a new RSK1 at a very good price and would like to know it the velo 111 will fit for now. I am looking to move down one day in the near future but it is important that the 111 will fit until then. Has anyone tried this? I know it will be tight for sure but i would like to know if this even a reality Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  9. I have searched these forms looking to see if any riggers have done this. I have a TJNK with a PD126R in it. I would like to reduce the bulk in the reserve tray so I called Sunpath and asked If I could replace the PD126 with an Optimum 126. One of the riggers responded by saying it would fit nice and reduce the bulk. Has anyone done this? Any imput on your experiences would be nice. I would love to see some pictures before I spend money on a new reserve. Thanks Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  10. I was wondering what is the difference between a harness that is a C17 and a harness thats a C17-1. Is one larger than the other? Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  11. I was wondering if anyone out there is still using this camera? I want to know your settings and what kinda luck you are having with them. Thanks Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  12. This is a new DZ that just opened. Do a google search for skydiving in louisiana and look for it, click on it, and check them out the name is THE SKYDIVE EXPERIENCE. they are located in Vivian. They will be hosting a two cessna boogie at the end of this month. I know everyone likes turbine power, but it is nice to see a few new places to jump from time to time Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
  13. This is a new drop zone with a staff base dedicated to building the sport jumper. Nice aircraft, friendly people, a/c packing, two thumbs up
  14. I just got my new Optimum 143 in that replaces a PD-R126. Ive never had a cutaway,,, nor do I want one!!! I am looking forward to putting some jumps on a demo to see how it flies. Thomas C Tyler AKA T-MAN
