point_code 0 #1 October 29, 2005 anybody know the difference between a raven II and a raven 2B? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beezyshaw 0 #2 October 31, 2005 To the best of my recollection, you're talking about the original style Raven in both cases (those made before Mar. 88 I think). Anyway, the "B" designation was when they began shipping with the bikini slider from the factory, instead of needing to retrofit the canopy with the bikini slider. I would not use one of these as a reserve parachute. They usually open very slowly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZagMarquis 8 #3 October 31, 2005 Hmmmm... * confused *... I've got a Raven IIg in my back-up rig that has a DOM of 94 or 95 and it has a regular slider on it, not a bikini slider, although I know what those are. Anyway... not that dropzone.com isn't a good place to ask questions... but you could always call up Precision and ask. http://precision.aerodynamics.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The original post asked about revision "B", which was adding the bikini slider to the old-style (non Super Raven) canopy. The canopies designated as "Super Raven", those made after Mar. 88 (pretty sure about that date) do not require the use of the bikini slider. It is an entirely different canopy design. The only thing in common is the name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elisha 1 #6 October 31, 2005 So, what is the "micro" Raven then? Is that the M-Raven? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
