Let me give you a hint, Paul. It's every one of your posts. Sangiro... you need to pull the "greenie" jackets when you have someone posting such assinine post as his in the talkback forum. Paul, You need to post as a regular person when you decide to make such sided comments as you have. Sorry... not a "personal atack", simply an observation. Chris Martin Precision Aerodynamics chris@precision.net all replys welcome... Paul, get a life and get your head outa yer ass... -
me too! Chris If anyone has any questions about psycho-packing, feel free to contact me directly...chris@precision.net

The one thing we're missing here... The wage earned by the professional pilot is directly related to the price paid by the customer. I operate both turbine and piston engine planes... have been for almost twenty years. The low jump ticket price dictates the earnings... many times leaving little room for "professional" wages for the pilot. In todays money, I see a pilot making a fair wage with jump tickets being in the 25-30 dollar range. Are (experienced) jumpers ready to pay more to support their drivers? Chris Thank the students for supporting your professional pilots.

Psycho packing any canopy is an easy way to put it in the bag... Chris

NO not John King.... I'm talking about the GIRL in the red dress.... hope you didn't miss her.
-
not to mention the girl in the RED dress... or outa the red dress... Chris

Oh come now Dave... Psycho packing Tandems is nothing new and can be done very easily without a bridal extension. Jump first, judge later. Because you are not intimently familiar with it and have some fears, the question was about experience with using the pack job. Chris

sounds like fun to me! Chris

hehehehe... yea, what he said! Chris

What a beautiful flight that was! I never liked the Birds exiting first but it sure was a nice ride up sitting on the tailgate! Lots of fun Christie, beautiful sunset... (I really didn't spot that load, all I said was there's the city and he said, "exit, exit, exit!") You and Julio really needed to make that your special 2-way... anniversary and all. Chris (I can't wait til February to see you all in Puerto Rico again!)

Airworthy is not determined by calander age alone... (but the brown... my guess is 1985) Chris

Hey.... think of it as time versus force... not stretch distance versus the force... Chris Dacron tames even the wildest beasts! Edited to add some letters (like all of them!)
-
What! No Jumping?!?!?! Sacrilege... and remember we are in the heart of the Bible belt.... (go to Tullahoma... subliminal hint....)
-
Dacron absolutely cushions the opening shock. For the most load per time, dacron takes a very heavy and fast loading and simply stifles the force. This is one of the reasons that we now build ALL lower control lines of nothing but DACRON. Not only will dacron rebound with forces, it is the most durable fiber available... get it dirty, abuse it, etc. and it will always outlast every other line by a long shot. Dacron is one of the strongest lines out there... if you can look past the size Chris

The funny thing is that Doug wasn't jumping because he had a broken arm BEFORE he arrived in Rantoul... He and a buddy traded for these high speed gas scooters and go racing all over the place... I later hear that Doug crashed and was getting loaded in an ambulance... later that evening, I asked how Doug was doing and someone pointed him out... standing right there with the OTHER broken arm.... Sorry Doug, but ya gotta admit that some one with 2 broken arms is pretty funny! sorry, but it is funny... Chris Get out to Tullahoma tomorrow, it's Jim's 65th birthday, a great excuse for a party!

Those will work very well.... Shit my favorite canopy to fly with is anyone doing a Tandem. Use their canopy speed... you can still talk to each other. Canopy/Bird-Man rw is great any way you look at it! Chris
