well, lets complicate it so.... new ripcord with the "pussher" and a manual cypress cutter as a secondary reserve handle... lol, may be a crazy idea, too many handles, but will cover the "what if the pin..." story... Julio Cesar blue skies

is she flying petra? Julio Cesar blue skies

Thanks Jerry, its 316 cold forged... its simple process to form the shapes, big press, good tool and a big BANG! Julio Cesar blue skies

Hi, anyone knows what grade is the SS used in skydiving gear? Julio Cesar blue skies

I turn off my cypress, but most of the time I leave the viso on... Julio Cesar blue skies

you have to follow more steps, access the logbook information then hold the square for 5 seconds, find the OFF screen and only then you press and hold the up and down.... I know, its a pain and most of the time I leave it on... Julio Cesar blue skies

main opening is 4-3.5k if main is malfunctioning the hard deck is 2k aircraft emergency, main 1.8k or up (my sabre takes 3 seconds to open in HP) reserve under 1.8k Julio Cesar blue skies

don'k know if it's something you can use in planes, but we use some kind of flame retardant foam, it comes in rolls and have glue on one side, 20mm thick and noise suppressor. Julio Cesar blue skies

there is a nice version of the video on youtube, just keep looking for how it's made, clear video and audio Julio Cesar blue skies

maybe I was lucky, but bought 2 helmets, alti and minor bits and pieces from USA and didn't pay any tax Julio Cesar blue skies

I think this is the holly crap moment.... Julio Cesar blue skies

sorry, I have many more jumps and don't bother to update my profile... Julio Cesar blue skies

Bev suits... I have one and is holding fine after many jumps, bum slides, side slides.... fits like should be Julio Cesar blue skies

we have a nice dz, huge landing area, they say it is 850m long all grass, a pilatus porter and a c182. If we could have a few more good sunny days during the year, would be perfect to me... Julio Cesar blue skies

ok, i got it.. so the slider hits its vmax and then (maybe by the friction generated) it slows... I think the fiber is a "plastic" and the place it shrink will get "harder" and deform or restrict the stretching to more "softer" areas... Sorry if I'm having a hard time to understand all this, and causing any trouble to the thread.. Julio Cesar blue skies

How do you make this conclusion? well, I assume the slider will accelerate as it start its descent... "Control" may not be possible in the strict sense, but it might be that the areas that shrunk are where the stretching will occur. It depends on the mechanism of how the fibers shrink, and what happens during stretching. The lack of interest by some to want to know is, interesting. hum... I'm not against any way of doing it, just curious about the thread.... Julio Cesar blue skies

I know nothing about line strength, but the lines will build up heat from the top down on the lines, making me think the lines will be shrinking more on the bottom. and whenever you stretch it again you can't control where it will happen, so it will be weakening more some part of the lines (maybe bottom?) while the stronger (top?) will stretch less.... and again, I'm just following the thread and trying to see the scenario on real life.... Julio Cesar blue skies

I have a full face and like it, it fog sometimes but only after a minute or so under canopy and cold weather. prefer to jump a full face when doing any formation, don't want to be kicked on the chin... Julio Cesar blue skies

I had a few times in SL.. but no more than half twist on freefall rigs.. I think if you are stable on opening time, that won't happen in student canopies... let the more experienced say more... Julio Cesar blue skies

I paid 1200 euros for a rig and 1250 for a cypress... get in touch with a few guys on your dz, they may find something cheap. Julio Cesar blue skies

all i could see is the guy complaining about a neck pain... but some people say that your balls can nearly hit your toes...... If I have a hard opening will be posted here, but after all my crazy packing jobs, I don't think will have.... Julio Cesar blue skies

I have a sabre 150 and it open and fly great, I know it can slam me sometime, but I don't take any care on the packing, sometimes look a trash pack, still open fast but not like a bomb. a friend jumps a 135 and he is always been hammered by the canopy... I think some are blessed with a good sabre.... Julio Cesar blue skies

I have a galaxy, but a viso2 is on its way now... my galaxy got some moisture and the faceplate faded, it was a PD logo and I think it was printed and Alti2 wanted over 50 euros to fix it....I like the galaxy anyway Julio Cesar blue skies

I read as much as I can, but last weekend I had a canopy course and I could really experience what Brian and many very experienced pilots say. there are so many options to be used under canopy and so many little tricks to improve safety and also give a lot of fun. Julio Cesar blue skies

I have a Bev (http://www.bevsuit.com/) and love it. Julio Cesar blue skies
