popsjumper 2 #26 August 9, 2010 Quote ...The mil-surp "cheapo" rounds that were jumped in the 60s & 70s were very reliable. ... the culture was to keep new freefall students on cheapos because they were so unlikely to mal even in the most wildly unstable deployments. (I tested that very theory myself on at least a dozen jumps. Proved it to be spot-on. ) Hear! Hear! T-10! I loved that bastard. It opened every time no matter what kind of flips, spins, tumbles and flailing I was doing at deployment. But alas, the love affair only lasted until landing time. That bastard. Quote That and the fact that DZOs could pick up a gaggle of jumpable mil-surp stuff for a song, but whatever. You wouldn't say that had your ever heard "Hoop" sing. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

labrys 0 #28 August 10, 2010 QuoteI mean, for someone to actually be ableto claim that one canopy will not mal up as much as the next is just ridic. Then you disagree that F111 canopies are less prone to malfunctions that ZP canopies? And also that 7 cell canopies are less prone than 9 cell canopies? I'm not arguing, I'm just curious.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
