i always wondered if another columbo would ahve been made. sadly he just got too old and then the dementia set in. i thought the episode where billy connolly was the killer was great and the one where the killer was caught out by the masks :) Dudeist Skydiver #170 You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need one to skydive again

hmm my Electra 170 also had a shallow brake setting- i assumed that this how they were designed Dudeist Skydiver #170 You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need one to skydive again

i got the canopy about the end of march and have put about 40-45 jumps on it so far.the canopy i owned before then was an Electra170 and had about 150 jumps on it and opened off heading about 3 or 4 times it was an excellent canopy! i also jumped it about an hour or so beforehand so had already got a bit of airtime and the opening was fine. PeteS it generally always opens on heading. i had a couple of off heading opening but not by much. what i noticed on this opening was that the right brake had fired and was in full drive and so intially i thought it had something to do with that. in regards to how i pack i propack and put the first 2 sets of stabilisers around the front quarter of the slider and then push the nose in a good bit and then wrap the tail around it. i have taken some of the openings and put them in the below video so you can see what im used to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFXXWHrlFEo Dudeist Skydiver #170 You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need one to skydive again

here is a video of an opening i had on one of jumps yesterday. theres abeen a couple of different opinions of as to exactly what caused it to open in the way it did. i pitched just about 4000ft and you can hear the last beep of my 1st optima setting and then hear the second setting as it goes through 3 grand. canopy details: electra150 l;oaded at 1.3 very good trim and in good nick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMzsaswDeSw any ideas? i also have the HD version if the wmv isnt clear enough Dudeist Skydiver #170 You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need one to skydive again

long story short- he had advertised for a gear swap- he was building a rig for the university clubs in the UK to use and needed a reserve- i had one and a container to go with it in return for a new freefly suit plus the postage on the shipping. so i said here take the container as well as i have no use for it (it was a TSE classic DOM1992). it turned from a ff suit into gatorz in a hoodie into nothing- no shipping expenses returned to me either- paypal isnt very complicated to use :( i have gave up on despairing- it was just over £100 in shipping costs but still im down money- in hindsight i shoulda kept the rig and used it for reserve packing practice.

it should be knocking about on UKS somewhere as a former user posted it there. i didnt realise that even turbo 206s could fly that high i apologise Dudeist Skydiver #170 You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need one to skydive again
