voilsb 1 #1 September 15, 2008 Just bought my first rig. Used, off course. Found it here in the classifieds. It's a Javelin J4 with a Sabre2 190, a Super Raven 218 reserve, and a cypres2. The rig fits pretty well, and the rigger says the canopy doesn't look nearly like it has as many jumps as it does (it's got about 600, he said it looks like it has 200). It's also the most responsive, robust canopy I've flown so far so far. I've flown a Sabre (1) 170, Safire 189, Silhouette 190, and Spectre 190, too. It's certainly fun, though. Now to buy Brian's book Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voilsb 1 #9 September 25, 2008 Meh, your color choices are limited when you buy used, and I'm blue/purple color deficient anyways, so I can't really tell.Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
