Like i said guys I dont want to start another debate thread. the chart referenced one particular canopy... I want it in order to underline to canopy piloting students... (not swoopers) that hard and fast rules do not always apply and that they need to explore and learn the performance envelope of their individual canopies for themselves... I have been searching like crazy for this chart and im beginning to hope i didn't dream seeing it Blues MIKE "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

Thanks but thats not the chart i remember. the one i am looking for detailed distances traveled on fronts, rears and in full flight compared against head and tail winds of various speeds. Blues Mike "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

Hey I saw a chart somewhere that detailed glide distance for a particular canopy on rears and on brakes in various upwind and downwind situations in various wind speeds. I cannot find it anywhere now... anybody got a link or a copy? BTW im not starting another rears v toggles debate here its just the chart as i remember it would be handy for giving students an example of how things vary depending on conditions and that hard and fast rules conventions don't always hold true Blues Mike It was the worst day of Icarus's life but for everybody else it was just another damned hot day in Greece "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

Hey i haven't had a chance to jump it yet Ireland has been under a huge thunderous raincloud for the past two weeks :< The box came with a one of cookies camera mounting screws and there is a hole in the bottom to suit the lense fits the opening exactly so there is little scope for the camera too shift around.. couple of mill maximum i also cut a little notch in the front for my hypeye cable the box closes perfectly with everything in the positions you see it in the pictures I am considering another helmet and setup for video and stills so the direct mount on my Rawa is temporary pics posted here http://mike-barrett.blogspot.com/ "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

I arrived home from the DZ last night to find my brand new Cookie HC3 Box and .5 Lense waiting for me it is Sweeet ! Smooth design closure system is surprisingly secure Perfect camera and lense fit with the liquid .5 and my Royal .3... all the same anyway i know.... Loads of room for larger batteries Cameye or Hypye fits neatly as the box closes without having to remove or bend the plug covers.. I still have to mount it yet but its looking good so far Nice work From Cookie "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

Thats it.... No! damaging the flaps No! caring about the door being slammed back No! more skydiving from the porter No! packing in the hangar No jumping unless a tandem load goes first No! making the plane go around for a second pass Yes! you must take the downwind spot into the next county. No! need to bother to check the spot just door and GO! No! The porters has right of way on landing Yes! it needs to get down quick to sit for 10 mins on the runway waiting for the next load of tandems or a group who are on a magical mystery boarding call.

Hey great posts im convinced on getting a HC3 now i was just geting really confused studying the difference between CCD and CMOS.. That settings advice on the HC3 would be nice? and if you could tell us what kind of wide angle lens if any was used? i think asking questions about settings is useless if you are going to stick a single piece .3 wideangle on your camera anyway. Also if you happen to know does HD remove the differences between PAL and NTSC formats is there actually NTSC HD and PAL HD? its about time you yanks upgraded from NeverTheSameColours anyway "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

thanks for the info blues mike "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

if you are using one and have any comments good or bad im particularly interested in the burst rate and if you use the 52mm 0.5 Wide Angle Blues Mike "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

if you are staying for three years buy the ntsc camera its cheap enough especially with the uk / us exchange rate and in three years consider selling it before you leave and upgrade its not worth the hassle having anything else other than ntsc in the us if you burn them to dvd there should not be any problem when you go home take all your ntsc tapes back to the uk with you they will play in a pal dv camera anyway use adobe premier pro to convert the lot into pal "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

is anybody out there using a Minolta Dimage 7hi 5.24mega pixel camera for stills work Does the burst mode work well?? any problems fitting bite switches etc?? any comments at all please
