Default RE: RC SKDIVING FORUM

Spinbotz,
Thanks for your comments about my altimeter watch. I like using it because it tell exactly what altitude I dropped my jumper from instead of making a guess. I bought the Avocet at one of the local Outdoor sports shop back in the early 90's. I got the idea about using an altimeter from an article in Flying Models magazine. For your information the watch runs about $185.00 now. I also like using a Skydivers Log Book to record the drops that my jumpers have made. It's kind of a carry over from my old skydiving days. I picked up my log books from the local skydiving center here and I think that they cost something like $2.50. Below is a URL for Para-gear and they sell them for $1.95 plus postage. Keeping a log book I can go back and see where I've dropped my jumpers and friends that I have made drops with.
