SkyDekker 1,319 #39 August 2, 2001 I have read all the responses and it almost sounds chinese to me Where would I go to read up on different types of parachutes and what kind of parachute I should look into once I am self-supervised. I am 6' 195 lbs.I am also trying to figure out what wing-loading is and what all this does to performance etc etc. Basically I want to learn it all look forward to responses Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #40 August 2, 2001 If it ever arrives, I'll be jumping a reflex with a PD150 (9 cell) and (raven?) 120 reserve. I saw the reflex once for about 5 minutes, then had it shipped to fliteline systems to have a smaller harness installed... that was over 2 months ago and they (or whoever bought them) haven't touched it yet. I was told I'd have it back in at most 3 weeks, including the time for my rigger to assemble it all. Anyone have a used container that'll hold those canopies and fit a 5'4" guy that they wanna sell?

Aviatrr 0 #45 August 2, 2001 Talon 2, Hornet 190, Tempo 210, CYPRES.. Sometimes Spectre 150, Spinneto 150, or Crossfire 155.. I'll probably have a Cobalt soon, just waiting for my demo canopy to finalize my decision.. I haven't decided whether I should get a 150 or 135 Cobalt.. I'll demo the 150 then decide..Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duck 0 #46 August 2, 2001 SkyDekker, I've been spending a lot of time on the web reviewing stuff, and there's a ton of info out there. But I think the best two site are:http://www.uspa.org/ (download/print the SIM if you can)http://www.afn.org/skydive/sta/ (pretty much covers whatever you want to know)As for anything else, it doesn't get better than DZ.com for specific questions!Hope that helps some. Would have linked these for you, but I haven't cracked that code yet. Quack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #47 August 2, 2001 My primary rig is a new Javelin Odyssey(pre-PIA symposium!) RS (terribly small, fully articulated and with triple mini-risers); Tempo 120 reserve; Cobalt 75 main (also an 85. both are matching orange and blue, of course); and a cypres that I remove when I compete in pond swoop meets. This is the righteous little black with orange/blue stripes Jav that was shown in the "who's baby is it" a while back. It has "Skymonkey One" on the mudflap.

riggerrob 613 #49 August 2, 2001 I jump a variety of rigs.Most of the time I jump a SET 400 packed in a Dual Hawk with a Master 425 Reserve, RSL and Cypres.Sometimes I jump a Talon 2 containing a Sabre 170, Amigo 172, Cypres, but no RSL.My third rig is a 1985 Mirage containing a Super Nova 150, S.O.S. and an RSL.

DZBone 0 #50 August 2, 2001 DOM 1987 Racer w/Phantom 24' reserve. The main I own is a Raven III (249 sq ft), but the rig currently has a Cobalt 150 that I am demoing (hi, Av, I may make you wait another week!). No AAD, no RSL, no suicide links, no riser covers, velcro everywhere. Argh.When I can afford it (post child, I would guess), it's being replaced with either an Odyssey or a Voodoo with either a Crossfire 149 or Cobalt 150. Can't wait!Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
