airtwardo 6 #3 April 4, 2012 1/2 way down is a description from Strong...but I don't see the 'class' ratings. http://www.ffp.asso.fr/IMG/pdf/strong_mini_hawk_student_manuel_pliage.pdf I have several G3R 'Wizard' reserves, IIRC they are 254# max, Not sure about the G2R 'Spirit'. Give Mike a call @ Strong Ent., I'm sure he would be happy to give you the details you're looking for. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 36 #4 April 4, 2012 175 and 225 lbs respectively for G2R and G3R. 212 and 278 sq. ft. respectively. I'd stick with these for these reserves. Of the design type that don't take kindly to being overloaded. Both TSO C23b with max load of 254lbs but this is based on structural load testing. Rate of decent testing for TSO was determined at 170lbs. BTW these have the early kevlar lines that were found to be too brittle for main use. General thought was when protected as on a reserve they were okay. I might think twice about packing them. Also be aware that they snag VERY easily. Don't let them anywhere near unprotected hook velcro.I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
