usskydiver 0 #1 March 10, 2004 The Wings website seems to be having problems (or it could be my computer here at work). Will someone who has already downloaded the manual (.pdf) please e-mail it to me. I have a Wings on the floor at home and really need to finish it tonight. I hope the pilot chute doesn't bust me in the mouth (again). Thanks to all!! Tim T. Team Paraclete [email protected] [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usskydiver 0 #2 March 10, 2004 Amazing....within 10 minutes of posting I received 2 here at work (and unknown number at home). Special thanks to Marc Rush and Sam Beckham for the rapid response!! Tim T. Team Paraclete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PackerBarry 0 #3 March 11, 2004 speaking of being hit in the mouth by that godawful wiggly spring... has anyone here come up with a good way to compress that sucker and get it to sit even as it's designed? I have no idea how many I see walk in the dz from other places with the cap sitting cattywompass... when I open it up, sure as shootin, one or more of the coils is turned sideways... another question... wings makes some really itty bitty rigs, but don't seem to have adapted the size of the pop top.... we've got a rig at the dz that we call the waffle rig, it's so tight and small, the joke is that you have to use a waffle iron to get the reserve in... the pop top diameter is only about 1 1/2 inches smaller than the width of the reserve container... leaving about 3/4 inch on either side of the poptop... has anyone ever suggested to them how nice it would be to make a little bit smaller pop top for their smaller rigs? just a question...

sammer 0 #4 March 11, 2004 No problem....I still had the file sitting on my desktop from when I donwnloaded it a few months back. Doesn't mean that I won't find you and take you up on the beer next time I'm in NC though.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
okalb 78 #5 March 11, 2004 Quoteanother question... wings makes some really itty bitty rigs, but don't seem to have adapted the size of the pop top.... . That is a problem with almost every rig on the market. Ever look at a Javelin XRS. It is pretty much all pop top. Don't quote me on this but my understanding is that the pop top and spring is part of the TSO, so to change the size would mean having to re-TSO everything. That is certainly not worth the time and expense, so the manufacturers don't bother. They just use the same pop top regardless of container size. -OKTime flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JumpShack would be an exception - they use smaller pop-top for smaller rigs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #7 March 11, 2004 Actually, I think you can choose either poptop with a new racer. Personally, aesthetically, I like the bigger poptop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
