  1. rev.202205v3 www.squirrel.ws Slider Brake Installation SQRL sliders with removable slider brakes allow you the opportunity to quickly and easily configure your gear for different types of jumps. Here are a few key points for the installation of the slider brakes. The 4G & 6G SLIDERS have three configurations: 1. No Slider Brake (mesh only). Recommended for the lowest airspeed openings (subterminal delays and low airspeed wingsuit openings). 2. Small Slider Brake (38x38cm). Recommended for moderately high airspeed openings (airspeed-controlled wingsuit and tracking jumps). 3. Large Slider Brake (57x38cm). Recommended for the highest airspeed openings (terminal/slick/tracking jumps). It is critical that you understand when and when not to use a slider brake. There are many variables that control parachute opening speed. Jumper velocity and body configuration, pilot chute type, wingsuit or tracking suit type, line material (Spectra or Dacron), line condition (new or used), and atmospheric conditions will all affect the opening speed and the resulting force on you and your equipment. For instance, deploying your vented canopy from a steep terminal track with a 38” PC and the mesh-only slider would be a mistake, and the resulting hard opening could damage you or your equipment. Conversely, using the large slider brake with a 34” PC on a subterminal jump opening near terrain would also be a mistake. Pack and configure your equipment for each jump that you do. Due to the large amount of variables, particularly in jumper airspeed and body position, it is impossible to create a set of fixed guidelines for your equipment. You must choose the gear configuration based on progressive and conservative jumping with large safety margins. 1 2 3 Note that the slider brake is installed on the BOTTOM side of the slider.

  2. I looked at those sometime ago when i was looking into doing some base work in Idaho and it seemed like a pretty good idea, keeps the steering lines separated and i wondered why it wasn't incorporated into skydiving canopies.
  3. That looks like more time would have been spent on the dirt dives than the actual jump!
  4. I'm not a real big fan of RW other than the round stars but this was very well done, what altitude did they go out at?
  5. "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence"
  6. Where did this take place?
  7. When Newsweek contacted Parlatore via email for comment, we were directed to an earlier statement: "Mr. Hegseth is completely innocent. He was cleared after a police investigation determined that the woman was the aggressor in the situation and was then the subject of blackmail. This entire episode detracts from all the women out there who are true victims."
  8. well, it's tough to say, could be his packing but maybe a new line set is in order.
  9. short or long? Hard to be short but possible
  10. They say they can make a ram air parachute , talk is cheap, first they have to make a canopy or two and jump them to make sure they are O.K. Then we will see.
  11. Yes, you need the STC, I believe the paperwork is STC SA11-68, go online for the maker.
  12. Oh yeah, I'm liking that, a very good excuse to go last! I used to ask Steve Fielding "how come you get to go last all the time". his reply "It's my load" I am real close, I can get a smaller rig if I use the Pilot ZPX but I'd rather have the sabre 3, better lower end and it's only one size larger, I'll look for you at Perris.
  13. I actually not fixated on it I'm just trying to get the smallest neatest container system I can, I suppose moving up a size is not the end of the world. Good point! As soon as I can ascertain which canopy I am going to get (I have chosen the reserve) I'll get them sent to me and take them over to infinity for the containers.
