likestojump 3 #76 January 16, 2008 QuoteI just bought a MK I PC (churchwindow) and need something to put it in. Anybody got anything for sale? Sure, got a a Crossbow 2 pin that I pulled a Mark1 out of... but it would need a little TLC. I would suggest a tandem rig, or just trashbag the thing out of the airplane while connected to a SECOND harness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewhilton 1 #77 January 16, 2008 See this thread http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2867477 ....for a discussion of what systems you could use to deploy your PC ; you should be able to fit it in a modern student system housing a Manta sized canopy, with a bit of preparation.

Gene03 0 #78 January 17, 2008 QuoteWith the others, there was always the potential of cutting away one side and not the other for some reason. Few riggers and fewer jumpers knew back then how to "tune" 1 1/2 shots to release smoothly. All you had to do or have the rigger do is gently bend in the hooks that fit into the male part of the mechanism, repeating until you had a nice smooth release on both sides. Another thing I was taught was to hook a finger or two from the top and pull down. Some people had the covers deflected up from the relative wind effectively covering the rings or interfering with accessing them with your thumbs. And don't forget to cover those "grappling hook" pieces of hardware when you pull the reserve. Ah, yes.
