If you are exiting from a King Air DO NOT jump UP. At least one jumper has hit the tail.

Similar thing happened to me, glad I had left my camera on

ABOUT 1200

It's all about the loads.

just get your rigger to sew some velcro on your container and your bridle. ~$20.00

Hmmm. that canopy is a good size for a Mr. Bill!

Hi and thanks for your help in advance. I have a DCR-PC101 and recently bought a FireWire card to capture the digital video. The card I purchased is a Western Digital model WDAD004-RNW. I am running Windows2000. The card came with a copy of Ulead VideoStudio (which I will probably replace with something more robust). When I try to capture the video I get an error message saying that there are no DV drivers installed. I called Western Digital and was told by their 2nd tier support that I must get the DV driver from the Sony website, however I have been unable to locate it. Has anyone had a similar experiance? Surely someone has gotten this to work! Anyway thanks for any help you can give me.

Yep, pilot chute folded up inside the crown of a Protec, looked pretty foolproof to me as long as you don't take the helmet off while the door is open.

Simpler solution I've seen is just to have a regular pilot chute folded up and placed inside of the helmet (on the top0 and attached inside the helmet. when you chop the helmet I'm sure it will tumble, the pilot chute will grab air and PRESTO!

Shit! How about linesets for those of us that already have a Hornet?Quote

Thanks Quade! Jan got back to me today, she was out of town.

Ordered the USPA study guide from ParachuteHistory.com. Website says electronic delivery. Once I paind Via PayPal there was no way to download it, so I sent Geronimo a couple of e-mails, no response yet, but then it's only been a week :-( Anybody know how to get in touch with Geronimo other than mailto:Geronimo @ParachuteHistory.com???

I bet they got a kick out of Dennis's Mal and the reserve opening into line twists

Saturday: Called my home DZ (Byron) at 8am, DZO said "It's looking better, we should be jumping by 10:00" So I drove out there and it's fogged in. Called another DZ (Hollister) and they said they were jumping. Great! So I drove down there 2hrs because of traffic, manifested and went out to the runup. The KingAir wouldn't start :-( Finally they called in Monterys Twin Otter and I got to do one jump at sunset. Eight hours and 250 miles fopr one jump :-(

Hey, I'm usually tail and I'm still impressed by floating :)

HaHaHa.... You knew I meant riser covers.

HGow the F@@k did they get airspace clearance when the shuttle was launching?

The lable shouldn't be unreadable after only 90 jumps!

That's what I was afraid of.

A 1996 Infinity shouldn't have velcro.

I have a 190. How hard _can_ you pull down on one before it causes problems?

Mine seems to have almost no front riser response at all.

Better Idea is to NOT land near the target :-)

There MUST be some batterys that I can pick up at RadioShack that will cross for the Protrack batterys. My gearshop has them backordered.

WHAT?Quote
