ClemsonSkydive 0 #1 July 9, 2006 I am going to buy my first own rig, most likely it will be that package Wings / Fusion / R-Max Package As it costs a lot of money, i would like to hear from you what you think. What i heard so far, WINGS is a nice harness/container fusion is a nice main for beginners like me (70 jumps) i dunno bout the R-max reserve i saw that package new for 3100 including gear bag, if someone thinks i mite get it cheaper somewhere else (NEW only pls!), please lemme know! Thanks, and blue skies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 558 #4 July 10, 2006 My last reserve ride was on an R-Max 118 loaded "a bit heavier than the manufacturer's recommendations." I was pleasantly surprised at how soft it opened and landed. Based on that experience, I would cheerfully buy a more reasonably-sized R-Max ... say a 150. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClemsonSkydive 0 #5 July 10, 2006 QuoteWhat would you be loading the Fusion at? well, i weigh 185 without gear, so i will go for the 210 main i guess. With just 70 jumps i am really hesitating to take the next available size of 190. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #6 July 11, 2006 That should be fairly docile. I was a bit foolish in getting a Fusion 210 for my first canopy at 45 jumps with an exit weight of ~250, but I'd imagine it'll be quite good for you.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
micro 0 #7 July 12, 2006 i second what grue said... i'm at 70 jumps and have a fusion 210 and have an exit weight of 240. it's a great canopy. however on days w/ NO WIND, it does come in a little on the quick side and it requires that you fly it all the way in. even a little bit of wind helps a great deal. it's very docile when you want it to be but will give you lots of thrills when you wish as well. i have the same package you do except i went w/ the super raven 218 reserve... i've been very satisfied... now if we could just get george to finish those owners manuals... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
