  2. That was very educational. Thank you
    I understand the concept of amortizing the capital expenditures and the inventory carriyng costs to a unit of production quite well. When I examined my hospital bill, I found several line items for tools, so charges for those were captured separately. I do not believe per unit costs I quoted included any allocation for the tools used.

  6. your post did not contribute much to what i already knew. I was looking for a "qualified" advice. Thanks for your input, anyway.

    Here is what IRS has to say:

    "Ordinary and necessary expenses paid for the cost of the education and training of your employees are deductible. See Education Expenses in chapter 2.

    You may also deduct the cost of your own education (including certain related travel) related to your trade or business. You must be able to show the education maintains or improves skills required in your trade or business, or that it is required by law or regulations, for keeping your license to practice, status, or job.

    Education expenses you incur to meet the minimum requirements of your present trade or business, or those that qualify you for a new trade or business, are not deductible. This is true even if the education maintains or improves skills presently required in your business. For more information on education expenses, see Publication 970."

    it is here http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf

    I usually have a couple shaggers around, but if I have to do it myself, I have the student sit for landing, as we touch down I drop the toggles, unsnap the student, turn 180, and collapse the canopy with rear risers, pretty much in one smooth motion.



    +1 that works best.
    i also try to run back with a canopy and make sure it falls on its tail pushing all the air out. saves a minute or two on folding the canopy or dragging it full of air to a hangar in high winds.
    it works great untill you are coming straight down or backing up, then you need catchers.

  9. Skydive Tecumseh is a great place to jump. we have a Super Otter that fly to a minimum of 14.5K AGL available for AFF and c-182 for IAD students. landing area here is a lot more appropriate for student training than in Midwest Freefall. AFF First Jump Courses are typically scheduled every Fri night, around 5 PM
    check the website for more info.

    and make sure to inspect our AFF gear when you come to visit- it is all brand new this year

  12. why do you want to flare from 1/2 brakes?
    accuracy? tight landing area?
    you can do your final approach 1/2 brakes or even closer to your canopy stall point, release your brakes (if altitude allowes) inducing a dive and build air speed required for an efficient flare.

  17. you have to be very close, 1 foot away give or take. personally i like it, you get a unique looking close up combined with wide background

    not an every jump lens, for sure.

    student was about the same size as myself he kicked(like riding a bike) the whole ride. i flew as stable as possible by getting big and flying myself. everything else went perfect, landing was awesome(i was suprised myself)

    just one of my questions is..

    what are some tips of tricks that seasoned tandem masters use/do to help them along the jump.
    like tips they dont cover in the class that help you on your jump



    just relax and hang on the drogue. typically, it does not last over a minute. :D flying big and fighting a student will just make you tired

  24. one of this is pictures is shot with a cheap peace of plastic, the other with the top of the line lense. can you see the difference that justifies $800 and an extra pound of weight increase?
