PhreeZone 20 #27 August 19, 2002 >(120lbs plus 10 lb rig, I'm guesstimating.) Psst... most rigs weigh more then 10 pounds When an empty Javelin TNJ weighs 5 pounds its hard to get 2 canopies and a cypres to weigh a total of 5 pounds. As for me... 414/0=0 Its only really been close one time.

Deuce 1 #31 August 19, 2002 250:0 225 on my Spectre 170 @ 1.26 I appreciate the info on canopy and loading. I know a Team Jank member, Sharkey, had like 1700 jumps recently and no cutaways. Our S &TA, Keith Wyatt, had like 2 grand and none also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nws01 0 #38 August 19, 2002 Quotereserve ride on first pack job - no practice pack jobs before that one, didn't have anyone watching me pack either. oops. He he he. I just started packing again. I packed my canopy once for the "A" license and I used packers everytime after that. This weekend I was rushing packing to get on the next load. My friend says "You got all of your lines sorted?" I replied "It looked ok to me but than again I don't really know where they go anyway!" I went and jumped it and it took forever to open and it did a 360 degree turn when it did open. I landed and had him show me the lines again. Those are hard to remember! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #43 August 19, 2002 258 jumps...0 reserve rides. Not including a two out once. I don't think that one counts. I rode both down. More than a couple REALLY close calls. Only had my hands on both handles once though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #45 August 19, 2002 Just a thought. Once you flake your lines, remember that they can move. If you are not careful, when you bring the tail around, it can grab your lines and pull them around also. This will cause you to pack a line-over. A friend showed me how to hold everything with my knee as I bring the tail around. That keeps the lines where you left them. I don't pack for myself that often, but when I do, I pull the tail around slowly and carefully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #47 August 19, 2002 I know what you mean. I fly a Sabre 150. I have had it twisted all the way up and just flew it along until I could kick out. No fun, but I worked it out. When I think back, most of the time, it is bad body position. I have tracked away from formations, seen someone too close, and changed direction slightly. This caused me to be just off enough to spin it up. Sometimes, it is the pack job, but far more often, it's me. My Sabre may spank me if I dump in a full track, but it is very forgiving on other stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rdutch 0 #49 August 19, 2002 Wonder who the packer was? Hmmm. Maybe if you had tipped him for the first one you wouldnt have had 3 more after.
