reserve checks and harness checks

Post by runningon1960 »

This is a good time to have your equipment checked out!!! I am a rigger from sport skydiving and can pack anytype of reserve. You would not believe the students who contact me who paid for a P-1 class and had a scooter tow to 600ft this is only with 10 minutes of ainstructions.
one guy pulled the brake lines down collasped the wing hit the ground and was hurt so badly the rest of the class walked away in a panic state.WellI teach active flying theroy while they learn to kite forward and backwards better than most pilots
i know. Iam 54 yrs old and want to have fun because I love it and my students love me for teaching the right way. There's tons of good people on here and we minimize our chances knowing when to fly not because everyone else is. IF you need you equipment checked just contact me. 443-377-2256

I also recommend spell checking and grammar checking.

repack clinic?

Post by Dan T »

Doug.

With your sky diving experience you seem like a person who would be highly qualified to run a wintertime repack clinic. Would this interest you? It would be a huge service to the members of this chapter and would give you an opportunity to get to know us. Once we know you and your qualifications we will be more willing to send potential students your way if that's of interest to you.

i am on a fast paced schedule for finishing up commercial construction job by Jan 2015. I am working long hours and weekends have been relaxing or if flyable then fly. i can help after Jan 2015
i started jumping in 1980, well uncle sam taught me HALO/HAHO, i was a P.J. in spec ops. I also did sport skydiving and later made money for the airplane ride to 10,500 ft re-packing mains and reserves. Then when i got into PG I think I repacked about every type of reserve out there, pull down apex, double capped apex, 16 to 24 gore rounds. Steerable Rogallo Beamers, when I was in other countries they called them crickets, cause of the size. I can remember when Para commanders were fading out because the 5 cell ram air chutes were coming into there own. They did use Rogallo parachutes for a short period of time.
