Thanks, will check !

OK, so when I post a new ad, and let's say today is Aug 25, that ad will be on the top of the list and the date will be in red color. Often times, right after posting it, I notice that I have made a typo in the ad. So, I go to 'Modify ads' and correct the typo. THEN, however, the ad with the date Aug 25 is listed after the ads with the date of Aug 24th, and the date is not in the red color anymore... Often times, it is automatically pushed to the second page of classifieds category (main canopies, for example, where there are lots of ads everyday), and gets less exposure. This is especially annoying when I just paid for the ad. Also, when you Modify the ad, you have to upload the photo again, and put all the component details again (in case of complete systems, for example), which is very time consuming. So, can you change it so that modifying the add does not push it down the list, keeps the red date color, and does not loose photo and component info previously selected from the drop down details?

That was with Dacron, same with Vectran?: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3329652#3329652 and http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3326440#3326440

Why? Pull the non-RSL riser free, first. Then pull the RSL riser free.

You asked for it, here it is, great VIDEO

'LES' MARD system was offered on production BASIK rigs back in 1999. Skyhook MARD was offered since 2003.

Did the coffin have its own AAD and parachute? (if, for some reason he did not get out).

I've always thought that I hear my audible better when wearing earplugs, no matter what type. That has been noted by many others in the various threads about earplugs. Same here. You can hear the audible BETTER with earplugs, at least with Moldex Meteors ones.

PC size and material?

But they use snaps only on Velocities...

I wrote PD about it, and they only said they do not advocate it. Any downsides to this method???: "UPT September 5, 1986 Effective Immediately. Please stow main canopy slider in a rubber band which you have attached to the center "B" line attachment point. (Do not stow it to the tail.) Reason. Occasionally, during main canopy deployment, the collapsing drogue exerts so much force on the deployment bag that some or all of the stowed suspension lines "slump" out of the rubber bands prematurely causing a reverse sequence (canopy first) deployment. A canopy first deployment usually works out OK. The main problem is that if the slider is not stowed, .it too might slip down the suspension lines before line stretch causing a hard or off center opening. An off center opening can concentrate opening forces on one portion of the canopy or one line group. We believe this is responsible for several broken main rear risers which have recently been reported to us. Broken risers are obviously not very common. This problem took many thousands of drogue jumps to show up and we believe stowing the slider should prevent it. I am working on a bag modification which I think may prevent line "slump" and will let you know as soon as it is "perfected". In the meantime, I urge you not to experiment with other "solutions" such as using bungee cord locking stows instead of standard rubber bands. In some instances, this could cause a bag lock which is a far worse problem than already exists. Sincerely, William R. Booth President" Source: http://unitedparachutetechnologies.com/PDF/Support/Product%20Service%20Bulletins/09218.pdf ***AND*** JUMPSHACK TANDEM CANOPY ASSEMBLY All canopies should have a rubber stow band attached to the line attachment point of one of the inboard “C” lines. The center of the slider should be stowed in this retainer during packing. The purpose of this retainer is to prevent the slider from coming down the lines prematurely. It is a good idea to do this to any canopy. Other canopies may require that the stow band be located on the “B” line. This may be determined by pulling the center of the slider up into the center of the air channel with the slider grommets firmly against the slider stops. Observe where the point 3 to 4 inches from the center point of the slider falls, and locate the stow band on the nearest line attachment point.

And what are these "three small packing modifications"??? :-)

Is this Jacko from Cross Keys, again...?

From my observation: all wide chest straps (from all manufacturers) have a fold-back, most narrow chest straps have no fold-back.

Read the fine print on THE CARD itself

My Spectre 190 with Dacron lines and larger (custom 26x31 inch) slider opens full 7 seconds (confirmed and timed by outside video: time from line stretch to slider on risers is 7 seconds). Pure delight!

Jumpsuit would make you look like a clown.

I would say that sitting up brings the main bridle closer to the reserve, no? Correct.

You probably know that, but worth repeating: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4448401;search_string=dacron%20%25;#4448401

Sounds good.
