  1. I like my Tarmac, but you might want something like a Roubaix for around town, it'll ride smoother on the potholes ;-P
  2. Your next two paychecks and half of every paycheck after that
  3. After cutting the cable to length (with a cable cutter, a REAL cable cutter) heat it carefully with a flame and smooth it out with your fingers so that there is no snag point at the bitter end.
  4. $10?!!!! I've paid $20 to ramp launck my 20' barefoot boat!
  5. I jumped one at about 1.8:1 but only for meby 8 jumps. It flew fine, landed fine. YMMV
  6. For those of you that haven't jumped there, Kolomna is a WORLD CLASS dropzone right up there with Chi, Spaceland and DeLand. If you get a chance to jump there DO IT.
  7. start lifting weights, you will learn that there are a lot of shoulder injuries in this sport. just get some 5lb weights and start working shoulders to start, then get into bench and the rest of the upper body weights.
  8. Jan has covered a ton of this, no need to re-invent the wheel: http://http://makeithappen.com/spsj/
  9. no mention of the most common packing error. Step through.

  15. Daytona Beach Airport (DAB) is only 15 minutes from DeLand.
  16. I demo'd a pilot 124 at the last event (185way) and was pretty impressed. It was very manageable in spite of loading 1.8:1. Only had 1 "off heading" (meby 30 degrees off) opening. opened good, flew good, good flare.
