And congratulations on making your first jump! Your comment about making two or three more jumps next time you go out is an excellent idea. You will find that you learn much faster that way, because any mistakes you make can be worked on immediately on the next jump, while still fresh in your mind. Something you said, however, puzzles me. You said that you and the jumpmaster passed the pilot chute back and forth. What kind of system were you using, and what was the deployment method? I'm not familiar with any kind of system wherein the pilot chute is visible, much less handled, during exit. Please describe, to appease my curiosity. Keep us posted on your progress! * / \ |---/---\---| Ken Scofield C-9355 | Gone | Hewlett-Packard PCD | Jumpin' | Corvallis, OR |-----------| {ucbvax!hplabs, harpo, ogcvax}!hp-pcd!kas Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
