  6. I did one 23 years ago. Do it while you are young. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  7. You don't need a stepdown ring if you buy a lense with a 25 mm thread. I use a 32 for handcam with a 0.25 lense but that would be too wide for what you want I suspect. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  8. So you got a 'bump' on your buttocks on landing. You jump out of a plane, you got to accept the risk rather than play a blame game. Most of the damaged / broken ankles I've seen have been on stand up attempts. Although TIs do their best there is always the 'shit happens' factor. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  9. Case by case. I've seen plenty of tandem instructors get picked up and slammed when they've stood up in winds and the catchers have missed the toogles. I brief my punters to expect to slide, but to be prepared to stand if the situation warrants it. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

  15. In the 80s there was a canopy in these parts known as 'the purple people eater' due to its regular ability to mal. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
  16. Think of the hours of flying time that they don't have to pay for. I jump at a small Cessna DZ and most of the pilots that have flown for us have used it as a stepping stone to better and grander things. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

  20. If the kill line in the pc is spectre - which it probably is - check the pc to see if it has shrunk, as spectre shrinks due to the heat of friction. This can lead to the apex of the pc being pulled in, lessening the effectiveness of the pc. 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.
