OK, I've got a question for Infinity owners, or anyone working for VSE:

in a couple of pictures I've seen, it seems that the side main closure flaps don't completely cover the bridle. Is this the same on many Infinities? It just strikes me as odd that RWS, Mirage, Sunrise etc make their containers with wrap-round corners that completely cover the bridle, but VSE don't. I realise the chances of the relative wind catching the small amount of bridle exposed is minimal, but since Amazon uses hers for speed skydiving I would've thought any bridle exposure would be unacceptable.

I'll try to find a photo of what I'm talking about and upload it here, but any comments in the meantime are very welcome.

Edited to add photos - sorry about stealing them from this thread!

IIRC it is now standard on any VSE rig to have additional bridle protection. See pic.

So far, this is the oldest I've ever been.

Awesome. Next rig DEFINITELY going to be an Infinity. Make a window for January guys....there's gonna be one excited customer on the phone so you'll want to get it built quickly!

Do you know when they started adding the extra bridle protection?

When I ordered my Infinity in May I called to have the additional bridle protection added and they told me that it was standard. I don't know the date it became the norm.

So far, this is the oldest I've ever been.

Is that extra bit part of the side flap or is it stiched onto the bottom of the container?

Thanks

Yayyy, my new container arrived a couple of days ago. Sux that it was crappy this weekend so I only got to jump it once.

I called to ask about shipping costs, since my rig will be shipped ready-to-jump, and happened to ask what the estimated ship date was

Are you referring to your container from VSE or the whole rig including canopies? It may be that your container may be ready, but it does you no good since the canopies are not ready if you are getting it from a dealer. If it is delivered ready to jump it doesn't sound like it's coming directly from VSE.

Negative. The wait is for the container. The main canopy is slightly used, the reserve is a stock item from Aerodyne. Both canopies are being shipped to VSE so I don't have to wait an extra weekend to get my rigger to assemble and pack the rig. It'll be shipped from VSE ready to jump.

Ship date moved up to 22 September! They said it might move up more, too :D :D :D

Man I would really like to know when mine is going to come. I ordered it almost five weeks ago. I would just call them but I dont want to be a pest.

Well, if you ordered around the same time as me, I'd expect your order to come around the same time as mine.
