    Reno Air Races

    Why are all the links to youtube dead. Media profiteering? Take care, space
  2. Or the USA government (I assume you mean) that hid their sacrifices and deterred rescue efforts. Freedoms only taken away for the very thing they fought for. The POW/MIA deserve extra for fighting 2 enemies. Respect!! take care. space
  3. reposting. It is only a tip. Know your crap before dishing it out. take care, space
  4. you could, but that be judgmental. You havent a clue what this person went through in life. One can only judge themselves with any degree of accuracy. take care, space
  5. Not defending the alleged perp, but do you not think it is wise to research your accusations rather than ride the flame train of blame when you havent a clue of the manufacturers of the said devices? You are muddying up the thread because what you posted is totally useless. Sorry that i'm takin out my bad day on you but i hope that you and others can get some wisdom from my post. Use search engines and then give crap precisely. It is only a tip. Know your crap before dishing it out. take care, space
  6. The average jumper should be a rigger. Learning everything about their gear like their life depended on it. take care, space
  7. Not at Calvin19 I just like to give him crap because he didnt visit me. 97 ft. But I designed a system that woRked at 15 ft. One must take into account the length of the lines snd leg stretch. Speed is essential for this type of deployment.maybe check out discoverychan with peter gambs. Ok, I win. maybe it is there. Take care, space
  8. thank you. take care, next beer is on me. space
  9. You posted: These cams are available in 8mm and 12mm. I believe you said you had an 8mm machine. The part numbers are 310 308 03 for the Stitch type 308, (three step zigzag) @ $181.00 List. The two step does not exist officially in the 8mm machine. Can you help me please. I need a 2 step for the 8mm Bernina. I could build it at my work. So my questions are: Can I buy it? Can i buy the the drawings to construct it? If yes to the 2nd question, How many should I build?(for others?) I only need one. but the programming on the CNC is the laborious part. Please let me know, I am a USAr in Germany with an awesome 217 that sews like a dream. Take care, Tracy
  10. That is only a measly sub 1200ftr. The Grand Canyon Skywalk is da Bomb at 4000ft. Take care, space http://www.grandcanyonskywalk.com "Go where only the eagles dare to fly…welcome to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Helicopters can take your through her many valleys. Buses can drive you by her many peaks. But only you can walk the sky. Imagine yourself suspended in air 4,000 feet over the majesty of the Grand Canyon … view the glory of the Colorado River below, witness the sunrise over the canyon’s carved peaks, and listen to the stillness of Mother Nature. The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West is a unique glass-bottomed cantilever observation deck that spans 70 feet over the canyon's rim....."
  11. Maybe for those who have no clue that the canopy will do exactly what it is commanded to do. Not everyone is a gifted pilot. Some are just payloads playin "what does this button do". Sept 24th ITW. Take care, space
  12. Best advice is to learn how to control the heading in this stage. Take care, space
  13. Maybe the main harness ring? Take care, space
  14. Choose your poison to give us a psychological insight. a. "I knew the gun was loaded, but I didnt think it would kill". b. Why did you not try it up higher? c. Was it time for a repack anyway? Was that your motivation? d. It seems that the canopy did exactly what you told it to do. Take care, space
  15. looks the the race is on, Truglia, Fournier aint doing much from what their blogs say. Take care, space
  16. What does "skydieve" mean? I googled it but had no luck. I thought you may have meant "skydive" and looked for adjacent letters that you could have done by accident but cannot find any. The actual post is free from spelling errors. Also, I dont no eny DZs in the Bay area that do "AAF"... The mind boggles. Take care, space ps, Just messin with ya. Good morning!
  17. Beware your own shadow. David3 is spot on. Be aware your own shadow The only injuries/deaths I have heard of was by jumpers trying to avoid their shadow in the flare. Take care, space

  19. Hi Jumpsalot-2, Would it be possible for you to send my 6yr old son a bigun? Not for burning. He wants to display it in his bed room. I think that a flag that has some character is better than an off the shelf one. I am an American living in Germany and my son is American/German. Let me know, Take care, space
  20. Where do I get the extra 10% at? Take care, space
  21. Misspelling can show the level of knowledge of the one you want to answer. Use it as a tool to guide. (and smile) Take care, space
  22. Brake setting seminar would seem to solve all of this. Take care, space
  23. Just sayin, sounds like you have something against BASE. We were here first. Take care, space
  24. As a long time BASEr, I have never seen this on BASE gear. Only if a bridle/PC setup has a keel line is it deemed worthy. A single run of binding tape for bridles.... I havent seen [ever] for Sky or BASE. Take care, space
