alan 1 #54 March 7, 2002 I don't give a damn what's in the hand. What I want to know is that Xaos-27 84 the one you are sending me to evaluate?BTW page 216 PPM Vol. I lists a P9-S and describes it as a manually or automatically operated bag deployed seat assy with a C-11 canopy in sage green nylon assy.It seems the "-S" is a subtle diference that makes all the difference! :-) I was thinking it may have just been an overlooked detail.alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magistr8 0 #63 March 7, 2002 Yes Your right it is the daisy- cutter and they are using them in afganistan right now to get at the hideouts in the mountainsWho ever said comming down from a high was bad obviously never tried this.Magistr8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GroundZero 0 #64 March 7, 2002 Wild blue got it... (even though Michele was hinting around the "connector" idea first.... maybe they both win...)Attached is a pic of the "P9" connector and a standard L-bar connector... these were used on old older round (reserves primarily, but also mains). The current L-bar is still used on tandem reserves in many cases...What makes the P9 unique is the way the method for closing the l-bars... (the P9 is on the top and the standard L-bar below...) You'll notice the threaded piece in the middle has both left and right-hand threads to pull the two pieces together. There is also a hole in the right side that matches a hole in the (right) threaded peice...My guess is that when fully threaded, you can then safety with it shut?Congrats wild blue and Michele... you each win a $100 merchandise credit for any Precision product. E-mail to claim your prizes...

GroundZero 0 #73 March 8, 2002 Wow,Michele won a $100 certificate for gear and pm'ed me that (while she was only guessing), she wants to donate her certificate to Jump for the Cause... how nice!However... she has no gear and she's thinkin of donating this...Here's what we do... someone get a contact for the Jump for the Cause... post it here and we all make donations to JFTC and tell Michele to keep the certificate. I think her generosity can inspire everyone else to (collectively) raise even more for a GREAT cause and she has a start on gear for herself...What do ya think?Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
