Does the Job
Rated by: 4201 (more about me) on 2009-06-11 07:24:19 (user reviews) Review ID:2197

Pros: Opens
Cons: Hard opening even with lowspeed deployment. Tricky to land

I like PD reserves better although I have only used this reserve from PA. So I don’t know how other PA reserves perform. None the less, the Raven-M does what it’s supposed to do.

Get one only if you have a maximun 1: 1 WL with this reserve, otherwise - Get Rid Of It!
Rated by: CarloC (more about me) on 2007-09-18 10:06:17 (user reviews) Review ID:1869

Pros: Saved my life twice
Cons: Afraid to land it

I have 2 saves with this reserve, a MR 135 loaded about 1.3 Both rides the canopy opened really fast, thats a good thing when you have a low cutaway. First land with it I broke my arm and the second time I used I land in my back so hard that 3 months after my reserve it still hurts like a b$#@@ You dont have any control stroke and a super hard stall. I finaly got rid of it and bought a PD 113. I just cant put a MR 135 in my gear again!!!

Couldn't ask for anything else
Rated by: beavdog (more about me) on 2004-02-15 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:932

Pros: Nice Opening, NIce Landing
Cons: None

Chopped my main after having blown out the center cells. Went for silver and hardly felt it deploy. Great Opening and I am even a bit over the max weight. Stand up landing in the middle of the peas....couldnt ask for a better 1st experience with a reserve
