zrarnold 0 #1 April 27, 2013 I have an Eclipse container and am looking for a new reserve free bag and pilot chute. Does anybody know where I can get them still? Is there a substitute that I can use instead? I have heard that the Vector2 will work. Does anybody have any info on these? How about any shops that can custom make a reserve free bag?

PeteS 0 #4 April 28, 2013 Western Parachute sales in Oregon. You know 1 800 call Ralph. I think he has that kind of stuff. Also a Master rigger can determine compatibility between TSO'ed components. If say a Vector freebag was a good fit,(hint,hint) A Master rigger could choose to use it along with the pilot chute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What size Eclipse? I probably have a spring but I don't think I have a Freebag larger than an A. VectorII parts have been known to be used as a replacement.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zrarnold 0 #6 May 1, 2013 Thanks for the help. I'm not sure what size the container is. I wasn't even aware that Eclipse had manufactured more then one size and I don't have the rig with me right now. There was a PD160 reserve in it that fit perfect if that's any help for the sizing. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookitt 0 #7 May 1, 2013 It's probably a size C. A PD 160R can fit in a B but it's pretty Tight. I looked for one but I don't have one for a size C. The first sizing of freebags were very tight so if you had one size up (D), it was a much better fit. They eventually up sized the Freebags. Good luck. You can use a compatible Vector if necessary.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
