if his chute doesn't open. The guy with the cameras bolted to his head is one of our machinists.

As long as he's not machining JRPC-Pro parts I'm ok with that for the near term :wink:

Any update on the Pro's?

I should have a beta 2 hardware revision module for test next week. Then we will be making a FFS special PC-Pro unit. It will have some features not available in the standard PC-Pro. I hope to have it all worked out in time for CARB.

The ones I will be shipping will be the modified version.

The phrase is ' why would a sane person jump out of a perfectly good airplane '. ;)

Because when you jump from a speeding car, there isn't time for the chute to open.

God! I miss the greenery of Arizona! Just kidding, I loved living there. I did miss TREES though!

I think they were down in Mexico someplace? Cabo San Lucas? He is the official photographer for a lot of the precision dives. Don't know who ended up behind him to get his picture? He also makes those helmet camera mounts. One of several products they sell worldwide.

This is one of my favorite jumps!

I would consider fellow skydiver discounts BUT I am not a fellow skydiver. You could not pay me to jump out of a perfectly good working airplane. :) I have only had a parachute strapped to my butt and back once and that was required as I was in a sailplane in Germany and the parachute was also the seat. He described all about getting out of the plane in an emergency and pulling one or the other cords and I explained as how I would go down with the ship even if both wings snapped off. :)

I love flying and do it regularly but there just seems to not be extra space on the Mooney for parachutes. ;)
