    add me as a possible on sunday. that 10 minute drive gets mighty tiring, so you never know. ________________________________________________________ Abbie drove me to Idaho and all I got was this lousy sigline

    he did film it a couple of years ago. it was on either dateline or 20/20. they had marc hewitt and darrin wooldridge do the jump with the tandem passenger hooked up facing backwards. it was kind of weak. ________________________________________________________ Abbie drove me to Idaho and all I got was this lousy sigline

    I'll be the one in the green with the rig that says g.hopper on the right mudflap. either that, or the one in green with the ugly blue rig. just look for the green yellow and black canopy. ________________________________________________________ Abbie drove me to Idaho and all I got was this lousy sigline

    starting at 5:00 a.m. I will be doing my birthday jumps, with a goal of 28 jumps. but I need help, of the ground crew variety. if anyone can be at perris early thursday morning to help me out, I might be willing to buy them a jump. and if 5:00 is too early, I really won't need help until about 8:00 a.m. blue skies and thanks, grasshopper

    so did jka buy her first rig this weekend or not? and will she tell us about it? and the big questions, did she buy beer and is she going to post pictures of her rolling around in the canopy (naked of course)?

    and then I laughed and danced and played the summer away. what, like I should work all summer just to survive? I'd rather have some fun.

    maybe something for intentional cutaways?

    reefing system?

    I have a problem with both the size and that it is a high performance elliptical. you are both downsizing and going to a more aggressive design at the same time, and not being very current while doing it. when everything goes well, the stiletto is easy enough to handle. but things don't always go well. I am not trying to attack your decision, but I do disagree with it. I think you are pushing your luck and I don't want to see you get hurt. if you were jumping every week and pushing the limits of the 170, I would say go for it. why fly a high performance canopy if you are not doing high performance landings. you WILL have high performance problems. it is not going to be an easy canopy to learn on without getting hurt.

    randy, you know what I think. you are not very current, you don't have that many jumps, and are at a relatively high wing-loading. I think you should dump the stiletto and get something a little more forgiving of pilot error. you *might* be okay under the stiletto, but is that a chance you are willing to take?

    ??:9:2 first birdman jump and first time jumping with a rsl disconnected (for what should be obvious reasons).

    the turbine dc3 rocks. as quiet and as fast as a king air, as comfortable as a dc3

    I believe it is shermans systems technology, or at least close to that.

    $15??? you are selling them too cheap. put me down for a 8x10 and I'll buy you a jump if you deliver it to elsinore. you know the picture I want. blue skies, grasshopper

    are the canopies the same size and same condition? if so, I wouldn't trade. the spectre has a higher resale value, better landings, and consistently softer openings no matter how it is packed.

    packing for myself, 11 in a day. using a packer, 27 by about 4:00 p.m. blue skies

    talk about huge pack volume
