  1. Or you trying to say sluts don't bring others enjoyment? And all this time I thought I was helping others....oh, wait that is another issue. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  2. What??? You represent that remark? I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  3. At 70 mph it is very nice. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  4. ONE.....and for you, Dave, all fingers fluttering. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  5. If there is no pay involved, isn't it post sluts? I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  6. The tail is suppose to be farther back and higher than a Caravan according to the manufacturer. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  7. 206 I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  8. I really like that (the wiggle part), I may have to try it. I have used the deep breathing for years. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  9. Yes but that only works if the instructor has the student help with the flare. It has been discussed and many don't unless it is a training tandem. I fall into that category myself. Of course the original discussion I believe was disconnecting prior to the jump wich is against RWS's rules anyway. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  10. Ridining my cruiser, knowing our borrowed plane for the weekend is here, finishing some rigging, and looking at a nice weekend booking up. Then there is the usual, spending time with Queen B and the kids. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  11. Brian, Is that like the 'one time in band camp' I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  12. I teach teh 1000' as a minimum. I find myself disconnecting it one I have a good canopy and have looked around for traffic. A skyhook ground chop on a sport rig pulled the freebag to line extension. Granted the winds were gusting to 40mph. Winds blew up after they had exited. I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  13. That was my sarcastic point. If I can get away from posting (mostly reading) then I have motivation for the trip (even if the DZ is close). Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  14. Finding a plane for the weekend - ours won't be ready. Packing reserves - 2 tandems, 2 sport If I can get off of here it won't be so bad. I HAVE to ride the new bike to the DZ. (not bycicle). Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  15. I have to disagree the the GM means nothing. I had to show it to the insurance company. I don't know if it would have just been more expensive or if they wouldn't have insured us if I didn't have it. On the other hand, USPA enforcement would make it mean more. I understand what is being said about it doesn't mean the DZ follows anything, but at least to DZ's trying to insure their planes, it means something.

  16. RWS recommends disconnecting (I teach at about 1000' agl) for high winds in case you need to do a ground chop. I teach candidates to do this for every landing to have the routine. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  17. Yup, still 500 ram air and 100 in the past 12 months. I believe there is also a minimum of 50 (will have to look it up) tandem jumps minimum to do crossover. Todd ps. see you at skyfest I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  18. Square to round - maybe you could teach them. Square to Square - no way. It is never recommended. I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  19. If you drive cross country and want to stop in Texas, I can work up a course. I have one or 2 others interested. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  20. We try to have someone else on the ground to work radio. Next step is I will have someone bring it to me. 3rd, I carry it with me for after I land. I can be on the ground pretty quick. Besides, as pointed out, the radio is a backup. I train students the radio may not work, the batteries could die, your ears could be clogged, or we could forget to turn them on (that one usually gets a laugh) Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
  21. Not even going there I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.

  25. I wear a watch because it is a very nice watch I have had for some time. It is gold and stainless steel so it is pretty tough too. I need to pick it up from the jewelers. It should be all nice and clean now. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
