I agree with all the rest that Andy Gold stated. I have seldom experienced any convenience with e-commerce systems that require a password and log in, as I can never figure out what my password is for that account. Bob, the solution is simple-just use the same username and password for all your accounts. I uses "pond505" for all my accounts, that way I don't have to remember what it is.....oops!

Also what type canopy holder did you have? I don't have a -4, but I do still have connections to the skydiving world, including a friend who had to bail at close to 200'. He's fine, even though the canopy didn't have a chance to open much. He was using a softie from Para-Phernalia based upon the recommendation of another friend who was a long time jumper and still is a rigger. Guess what kind of rigs we have now? Especially since they do custom work, and I'm 6' 5". Also, aside from being a very satisfied customer, I have no interest in their business. Check them out, give them a call. Ask for Dan Tarasievich, and tell him I sent you. (We chat at OSH each year...) http://www.softieparachutes.com Para-Phernalia, Inc.

I am 5'11" and 180#. I was trying to find a chute to wear in my Rocket, which has an identical cockpit size to the RV-4 for this discussion. I tried several different styles and sizes of chutes. They all sucked. Either the chute pushed me into the panel (backpacks) or into the canopy (seatpacks). Jim at Paraphernalia came up with a modified seat wedge that spreads the chute's bulk from just behind my butt to out under my thighs. You don't use any seat cushions with this chute and really don't need any. A lumbar pad is all that I added and I find it comfortable for up to 2 hours. This was the ONLY chute that I could wear in my Rocket and see no reason why it wouldn't work just as well in an RV-4. Here's a URL to photos of this chute and the Rocket cockpit layout: http://www.vincesrocket.com/parachute%20pictures.htm This shows the original Paraphernalia chute layout. Jim later modified it slightly for an even better fit. IF YOU NEED A CHUTE IN YOUR RV-4 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GIVE JIM A CALL !!!! FWIW, I don't have a business interest in Paraphernalia chutes.

The garmin uses a 1.5 fuse built into the power cord I would like to cut the fuse out and wire the GPS to the breaker On the panel. Thanks. And thanks for the link. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 01:41:18 PM PST US From: "Tim Bryan" Subject: RE: RV-List: CHT probe mounting I checked mine today and they don't have any either. Only about 29 hours so far, but no problem other than way high CHT's... hmmmm. I just finished installing louvers in the bottom, so will know later how well that worked.
