dhayes31909 0 #1 May 19, 2010 I quit jumping about 3 years ago with the hopes to returning to the sport one day. Unfortunately this isn't going to happen in the near future. It's an older javelin with a 170 main, i believe a 160 reserve (I don't remember the canopy brand). Out of date cypress. It's been well maintained and stored in a climate controlled location. I purchased this used, and put ~300 jumps on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Provide little info, and you will be lucky to get one easy payment of $200 :( Container : DOM container size harness size total # of jumps Main : model and size # of jumps onthe canopy # of jumps on the lines DOM ? any damage ?

Hope this helps a bit Is there a typo in there? "C-4" seems unlikely. "C" is the yoke sizing. No problem. I have a "C" yoke myself. But, "4" would be the main lift web length. I am only about 5'9", and my container is "C-18". So, please verify that number, if you would. -paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likestojump 3 #8 May 19, 2010 since you are unable to provide the info, you will have a hard time selling this for over $700. if you decide to be a bit more proactive and figure out the harness size, the main model and the reserve model, you may fetch a bit more.

liftedtitan 0 #12 May 22, 2010 does seem kinda suspect that you make 300 jumps on a rig and cant remember the brand of canopy. Not to mention on the reserve packcard it says the kind and size of reserve. if you jumped 300 times, why wouldnt you pull the main out, take pictures and repack it? sketchy!Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

airtwardo 6 #14 May 22, 2010 Guys~ OR maybe: He just wasn't that into it anymore so he hung it up 3 years ago and hasn't thought about jumping or the gear in quite a while... Might be he just couldn't handle all the friendly open minded comradery ... Jeez, I know I couldn't name anything but the manufacturer on scuba gear I haven't touched in that long...names & model numbers are lost in the gray matter, replaced by more pertinent info that's actually of interest to me. From the initial post we can ascertain that he quit, he knows what a cypress is and that his is out of date and he has kept the gear in a climate controlled environment. 2nd post tells us he knows what info is important, where to look for it and freely posts the names & numbers in a public forum. What's with the dog-pile on a guy that, until proven otherwise was one of us...and is just reaching out!? ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just dropped the rig off at my local DZ to have the rigger inspect the rig and repack the reserve, also to have the cypress removed as it's out of date. I do appreciate the constructive posts in response to this thread. While at the DZ I found my AFF grad photo still posted on the wall, which proved that my dates are off a bit. I finished AFF in Jan of 04, and jumped for 2 years, ergo.. I've been out of the sport for 4-5 years.. which led to even further degradation of the knowledge i had of my rig. To the poster asking why i didn't pull the main and repack it. Good question, I honestly didn't think to look at the tag on the tail of the canopy until yesterday. This will be my last post here, as I don't see the point in continuously trying to prove i was a jumper.. however, myself and my father jumped approximately 300 jumps within 2 years. I never reached out for anything past my A license. During those 2 years I had some of the best memories of my life, most of which occurred at Skydive Atlanta (amazing staff!). It was a great trip down memory lane stopping by there to have my rig inspected :D Skydiving will always have a place in my heart, and hopefully one day things will work out to where I can return to the sport. Until then.. blue skies :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 0 #17 May 22, 2010 Hey, you know I got a lot of respect for you. You want to believe that after AFF this guy re-lined and put 300 jumps on a canopy and was pretty active in the sport for 2 years until just 4 years ago, and has no recollection of the model of the canopy that got him through that experience? OK; who knows - maybe you're right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 558 #19 May 23, 2010 " ... Main: PD190 500+ jumps (300 by me) DOM: May 93 SN: 19010273 ..." ................................................................... Lighten up guys! The poor guy just quoted you everything that was written on the canopy's data panel. When Performance Designs first started making canopies, they only called them "PD whatever size." The above information tells me that it is a nine-cell canopy made of F-111. It probably had Dacron lines when new. If it was a PD 7-cell (F-111 fabric), the name would end in an odd number (e.g. PD 253). If it was a PD reserve, the model name would end in the letter "R" (e.g. PD253R). Now I challenge you smarty-pants to tell us the names of two other famous PD canopies made of F-111 fabric. Twardo, please sit this one out as I know that you know that I know ... and would prefer to see the young smarty-pants squirm in their seats. Hah! Hah!
