I'm not very large (1,75meters) and I do not like the C182 to do tandems from. Way to much climbing out. I'm happy my dropzone operates 2 cessna's 206 (with side door). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

Well there was something with a pin.... Beer was also involved....

I clearly walked into the wrong room here with my experience level... But the discussion was interesting so I decided to eavesdrop and learn something along the way... If I was asked, I would have thought the bigger (and flatter) long arm/leg students with a lot of mass would be harder to control - as they have more surface area to catch air in all the wrong ways. Why is it the LITTLE people that take you for a ride? If someone has the time, just PM me or post something... While I will not be a TI for a long time (if ever), I like learning new things... Ever tried the racket game called "badminton". (In each case in holland we call it badminton). It's the game with the bal with feathers.. How does it come down. Red bal at the top or bottom? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

If you have problems in flaring alone. 1) WORK OUT! 2) But a modern canopy 3) Quit doing tandems I'm 70kg and have an office job during the week. I do not have problems with passengers uptill 110kg on any canopy I've jumped. BT80 (I love it), Sigma, Icarus, Twin EZ and Contrail (Try the last one for toggleload) Trick is (with a heavy passenger) do not waist your strength with steering/spinning the canopy. If the passenger wants that he shall help with the spin. Not with the flare ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

Yes they are. 130 HP do it for me. I feel very comfortable at 220km/h (~135mph) as it's fast bellyflyer speed. I have to agree. because of this a trip to Dusseldorf costs me less time than Amsterdam (same distance) (Mitsubishi Sigma 3.0V6). But not everywhere in germany I found out last summer, stangest is I only got a letter with the question "who drove the car" Not how much it will cost. If I have to pay I also want my points in "flensburg"! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

Got a stiletto 107 with about 800jumps at least. Bought a reline and the canopy opens, flies and flares like new and best of all. It does NOT pack like new ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

Had some very exciting ride-downs in a porter after dropping students and going down to pick another lift. NEVER experienced a problem with the Expert cypres. Believe me the pilot really knew how to keep the plane diving till a couple of seconds before landing. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

Fine he's gone! I will not sleep a minute less tonight because of this! Perhaps pease gets a real change now in the middle east.

That's exactely with those extremists do not do. They move to a country and want the original population to adopt to their habits. If you say something about it you are called a racist of worse... No problem with extremist muslims as long as they stay in their own country and do not bother me with their religion. By the way my original statement was: At the moment almost all wars and violance in the world can be related to the islamic terrorists. Well at least one big terrorist died tonight in paris! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

I do not like helmets in skydiving or riding my bike. During skydiving I can choose myself.

Ik weet precies waar Duitsland ligt. Laak Kwartier is dicht by huis voor my. Heb oooit nog eens op de haagsche hogeschool gezeten. Hetzelfde gebouw as waar de evacuees nu liggen te slapen..... Ok, they arrested 2 guys yesterday evening without much violance (a little shooting) The armoured vehicles were not there at all (journalist story). The military has spend the whole night looking for explosives in the house. Inrelation to this action 5 people have been arrested in another city. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

Not sure what is going on there. It seems they found a terrorist safe-house. Not only the police is over there but also anti-terror units. A no fly zone over the area and even rumors about moving in heavy equipment (armoured vehicles). By the way the Kristalnacht was in germany. You know the big country next to the netherlands. The kristalnacht has been revered to because some people set fire to an islamic school. The situation in The Hague seems to be terrorists. I will keep you informed about this whole shit. Luckely I can afford to live in a more quiet neighbourhood. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

The french can not criticise the middle-east too much because they have large financial interests over there. That is the reason they did not support the US in iraq Why do you think they invited the big middle-east terrorist Jasser Arafat to come to a french hospital. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

As a response to the killing of Theo some guys burnt down an islamic school over here (holland) Might be interesting where this ends. There is a lot of hate in certain groops in holland because of all the immigratnt allowed to come in and profit from out social-security. Please do not take this as a personal opinion. It's just a remark. Personally I do not have any problems with other people or their opinion (religion) as long as they do not try to force their way of living to me. I can choose the way I want to live. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

Not that easy to understand. http://composite.about.com/library/docs/mil-hdbk-23/blcover.htm If you mail me the properties I will try to do a guess for you ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

This is wrong. Bit flip used to be a problem in early memory devices and was caused by the alpha decay of radioactive trace isotopes in the epoxy resins used for chip packaging. The solution was found in cleaner resins. Recently the problem has returned in the form of "flip chips", where the chip packaging is so thin it doesn't offer much protection against alpha particles. This time the cause was found in radioactivity from solder joints in the chip carrier. For details see http://direct.xilinx.com/bvdocs/whitepapers/wp208.pdf The devices used in the vigil have ordinary SO and flatpack outline and do not exhibit bitflip. --- High frequency fields. The entire circuit board will be fried long before you'll get a single bit to flip from a HF field. BTW, there is no such thing as emc radiation. --- Aging. It's true, silicon chips do age. Thats why they have a MTBF. But let's pretend you jump 365 days/year, for 20 years and the device is powered on for 14 hours/day. You'll amass just over 100K hours, way below the chip's MTBF, especially after burn-in. --- Component grades. There's commercial, industrial, and mil-spec. Some component manufacturers may offer product versions with additional reliability screening. There is no aerospace component grade. Of course it's possible to create an assembly that conforms to local aerospace regulations. Usually this is done by using milspec components at critical points. --- Hmm, i had a point when i started, but i forgot. Cheers For a couple of point you might be right. In general I expect these answers from vigil. Uptill now I only got some fuzy statements. In the past I got an answer about the aerospace components (which of course are mil-spec's) They answered: You do not want to pay such components! Not only silicon chips age. All components age and might run out of tolerance. And when you accumulate all MTBF's ? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

Are these facts? Is it advised to have your Vigil reprogrammed? Is there a service bulletin of this? We know nothing (and under them are Vigil owners!!!) The italic text is the answer of vigil. Contect then to clarify this point ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig

My question: What is Vigil model B, C and D? Is this recall for reprogramming mandatory or an advice when jumping at sea level? I haven’t. What is it? Can you avoid it? Femke Model B,C,... is in the answer of the supplier. Normally a product starts as issue A. When little improvements have been made this is called issue B, next improvement: issue C..... If certain issues (models) have operational limitations it would be very nice to determine which model you have. This can be done with a sticker at the box. (like cypres does after the 4-year check) or for example a screen in the menu that shows the model issue In case of vigil the A was the unit with the static electricity problem. This was solved in issue B. Wath they did with issue C and higher I do not know. A computer works with series of "1" and "0". A bitflip is the unintended changing from a "1" to a "0" or the other way around. This is un unintended modification of the program ans shall never lead to a dangerous situation. For example unintended switching from pro to student mode. You can not do more than "handilng your gear normally". Bit-flip has nothing to do with shacking or dropping the unit. It might be caused by for example severe (emc) radiation or aging of components ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig
