Thanks for your quick answer.

I don't believe that PdF build only one size of the minimax7 and the chart sadly don't show the sqft from the one minimax7 in the jumpshack list.

But again thanks!

Sorry, I have NFI anyway (as I'm a noob). Wish I could have been more help.

The Minimax 7 by PdF is 190 sq.ft reserve & have only 1 size.

The packing volume by the PdF manual dated 01/1994 page 7 is 408 cubic inches.

I hope that helps.

yes, thanks.....would you say this reserve design is outdated, or is it dangerous jumping a 16 year old minimax7?

This minimax7 was repacked only 6 times and was stored open in darkness for 5 years.

Last year i had a full speed reserve deployment with this minimax flying a WS, opening was ok and the flare also reasonable.
The condition(optical inspection) is good.

A few riggers in germany wont repack this reserve or a few other reserves older than 15 years.

What do you think? Generally the minimax7 do have no lifetime limits from PdF or the german FAA.

I would like to hear other opinions.

If you have a Techno 155R why do you need the Minimax 7 ?

I have 2 skydiving rigs.
The 2. is an old PdF Atom accuracy rig with the minimax7 and a big old Raven3 in.
