What exact model and date of manufacture is it?

Hi, I would guess that it is probably something wrong with the equipment or the packing. I have 600 tandems where 500 of those are on a Icarus 330 = zero line twists! /D

At deployment, you will have less tension on the bags locking stows because of the bags rotation. It lowers the risk of prematurely breaking the looking stows when the bag is lifted from the container.

How's the packing?

Hi Nik My question was in regard to having to supply a zip-code. Zip-codes are usually US-only. I lied and used a New York zip-code but got a error message "SURVEY NOT FOUND". /D

Is it only for US-citizens? /D

There is a old interesting thread about flex-pins here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=113117;search_string=flex%20pin;#113117 /D

First, I am not a canopy designer. Short answer: Depends on the type of canopy. Changing the brake setting will usually affect snivel, inflation time and heading performance. Do not mess with it if you don't know what your doing

We do tack them. See attached pictures Ahh sorry. I was looking for the wax thread tack that was used before Thanks, /D

Hi, Why doesn't UPT tack the inserts to the riser any more? /D

I can´t believe you didn't mention "Bill Cosby show". I really hated that show

1980, Kiss with make-up. I was 10 years old and went with my dad, he used ear plugs Iron Maiden did the warm-up show. Best show ever!

None so far

It depends on the type of harness and body type. For example, a Sigma student harness usually fits someone around 140cm with a normal body type. OTOH if the torso is short (long legs) it might be a problem. Check with your local TI. With Strong harnesses I have no idea. /D
