  1. damn they require $25 min purchase. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  2. I have an old f111 main im going to practice packing with. All the bands are broken, my DZ is closed for the season. Where can I order some? Or I can paypal one of you kind folks for a handful of them. Thanks Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  3. what plane did he end up getting? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  4. all i can say is that guy is one lucky SOB Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  5. oh boy...here we go. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  6. And we have all read numerous incidents about pillow handles causing major problems as well, including at least one confirmed fatality (pillow was flipped behind strap jumper could not release it) ill take a d-ring over pillow any day. To the OP, i think its pretty much sumed up. Jump it if you want to, but dont expect people to not be aprehensive about jumping with you. You could probably sell the container, put the $250 towards a better container for what kind of jumping you want to do. Theres a reason its not a very common rig for FF, and its not the brand don't kid yourself. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  7. Then you will do neither -- you need many camera jumps prior to developing skills worth paying for. As for as distractions, it has been rehashed many times elsewhere. that is what I meant, I know I cant just throw a camera on my head and be a video flyer. eh, its fine I wasnt really looking for an argument on the issue. Sorry I didnt look elsewhere first. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  8. I understand and agree with the 200 jump idea. My thing is how does it become a distraction? I mean you turn the thing on, forget about it, and perform the planned dive. Am I missing something? I know that some people get distracted by them for whatever reason, but seeing how you can edit footage AFTER, who cares about letting the thing run for a long time etc. I do agree however that they have been the cause of some incidents, whether it be distraction or snags. I do not plan on jumping with a camera, unless Im getting paid to do it. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  9. whats the difference between a camera on the side of your head, or a radio when you do AFF? not arguing for a camera, just curious what the thoughts are on this. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  10. I dont understand what Jeb meant when he said "she is going to shatter what people think can be done." Meaning in a short amount of time, or what? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  11. also, why is it the tennants responsability to bring a building they dont even own up to code? I just dont get that. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  12. I have a question, and I openly admit I dont know shit. Are these hangars privately owned? If so, is it like housing in that the landlord pretty much makes the rules of his/her hangar? I own several apartments and rental properties, if I want a tennant out for whatever reason, I get them out. (only happened once so far) Whats stopping these owners from doing that? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  13. I guess time will tell. Let me ask a couple questions. 1. do you think everyone on this forum is disagreeeing with your decision just to be a bunch of dickheads? 2. Have you asked your instructor, or rigger, how these canopies will fly if you happen to have a 2 out situation? There is more than 1 reason for having similar sized canopies besides you ability to fly them. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  14. what kind of helmet? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  15. No to mention the situation of a 2 out. 2 canopies that different in size Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  16. she might even share a bed with you Ingrid! Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  17. Not enough to justify selling tandems under $140 any numbers to back up this statement? How many is "not enough?" Lets all be honest for a second. DZ's make money, the owners don't run and opperate for the fun of it. You mean to tell me that a tandem for $235-$250 is making them JUST enough to be content? Please. Don't get me wrong I think they should make money, but to say that if they sell 1,000+ tandems UP FRONT for $150 a pop they are just breaking even. You have to be kidding me. So please explain why quite a few DZ's participate in Groupon. Are the DZO's for these DZ the dumbest guys in business? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  18. how many groupon customers return for AFF or more tandems? Its not all about the initial sale, its getting people in the door and experiencing skydiving, then they get hooked. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  19. Oh i see thanks for that link. how long is it normally from the handle to the pin? And where is the PC in relation? ie between pull handle and pin, or after pin inline with the bridle etc. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  20. is there a link that can explain how a pull out system works? maybe some pics? is the PC spring loaded? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  21. RSL system could also be misrouted if it were disconnected for some reason. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  22. well how much do you weigh? that says it all, she could have been at like .7/1 WL on the 240 who knows. Size alone isn't the only determinant. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  23. maybe instead of undoing the twist you put in when packing, you twisted it more when placing it in the container? I don't see how the bridle could be wrapped around the roll job. The bridle gets pulled out of the center of the roll, then pulled tight as the bag is put in place. How can you wrap the bridle around it? edited:spelling Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  24. we'll see it this is true. And you will be hard pressed to get a brand new container, main, reserve and AAD +spare parts for 5,000. By the way, even a brand new pilot chute will not function properly if packe incorrectly. Even Aerodyne.... Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
  25. so what DZ is it? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
