Started crewing with my best friend in HS on his aunt & uncle's balloon. That was about 1986. After spending about 15 years as crew I got my pilots license in 2002 and have logged at least 50 hours per year ever since. I think I'm a lifer :-)
How about The Pegasus Group that is now writing LTA policies. The BFA web site has a small article about them. I called to get a quote, they emailed a three page app that had Robert Welker acrosss the top. I can't fax it in now because they are on...
The Velcro straps are great. I squeeze out air for about 8 feet and have a crew member put on a strap and then proceed 8 more feet. It keeps the air out and it goes back in the bag so much easier.
BUT there are two types of Velcro straps. The firs...
Hello All !! I have both. The cameron squeezer in the deserts of New Mexico dosn't work very well, but on grass it seems to work alittle better. The metal "Paper clip" was given to me by another pilot friend a few years ago, I like it. Now if I ca...
I also have a Cameron squeezer. I have not used it too much becuase of the hassle of bringing it out and setting it up. Are these redesigns something that I can make to my squeezer to make it easier.
Kevin, sometime in the late 80's Cameron designed and sold a bunch of these- but they did not work very well on bigger than 7B size envelopes- David Steinbaugh and I bought one and re-designed it- I have been using it for over 15 years and have so...
Kris, you say so far you have been happy with Evolution- have you had a claim with them- I have been told by an unknow source that YOU have to pay a $5000 fee to initiate a claim- how can that be?? Bill Whidden
I'm glad that you recognized me first from the spatula! I enjoyed talking with you today and hopefully we'll meet up next year! Let me know if you start something in Iowa - I would try and come out . . . no promises . . . but I would try!
I'm about 6'1 230lbs. I'd mainly be using the system for competition and flying by myself. Otherwise I'd probably plan on only having one other person with me at any given time for a fun ride. I don't have any plans to get into the paid ride business any time soon.
I got a quote from Paul, so I did look at Cameron too, just decided to go with the Lindstrand instead. It is supposed to be done on April 15, so hopefully by BC i will have quite a few flights in it.
Thanks Kevin, I appreciate it. I called Bob and I believe he is picking it up today!! Thanks man, it was a pleasure doing business with you. I will email Eric to take the basket off the site if you don't mind.
Kevin, right after the holidays I will call you. I did talk to Forward Air and I would suggest you call them just to make sure they tell you how to wrap it because it may be different then they told me down at Albany. They told me to cover it with cardboard and wrap it with shrink wrap and put it on a pallet.
Can you tell me how much it weighs and I will get the price and send you a check right after the holidays. Thanks Kevin
